Then the TS808, TS9, MSL Metal Screamer, TS10, Exar OD-1 (a Polish variant), TS7, Keeley Mod Plus, and the JHS Strong Mod. First is the OD-1, which is actually a Boss circuit from 1977. In addition to the expected Volume, Drive, and Tone knobs, there’s the nine-way selector switch. No, instead this relatively new pedal is a take on nine different TS circuits with the exact signal path of each wired into one small enclosure.
Much like the Muffuletta on our best Big Muff pedals post, the JHS take on the Tube Screamer doesn’t settle for approximating just one. You might be able to save a few bucks by searching for a used Dunes on Reverb. More recently, EarthQuaker has released the Plumes Small Signal Shredder, which is another take on the TS circuit with similar clipping options and a reimagined tone control. JustNickMusic has a good demo of the Dunes. In addition to all that, you get true bypass, soft touch relay switching and top-mount jacks. Finally, the Bandwidth switch allows you to choose between Stock, which is the original TS808 sound and Full Range, which backs off some of the low-end roll-off endemic to great Tube Screamers. There’s a Normal/Bright switch that selects between full fat and chimer EQ curves.
The switch at the top allows you to set your clipping mode preference between MOSFET (tight and crunchy), Silicon (which mimics the original TS808 sound), and no diode clipping to drive the op-amp.
Primarily based around the TS808, the Dunes offers three switches in addition to the standard-issue TS Tone, Volume, and Gain knobs. If you’ve already got a booster you love and don’t have room on your board for the larger footprint, EQD also offer this to give you much of the same functionality in a smaller package. In our best boost & overdrive combo pedals post, we included the big brother to this pick, the Palisades.
