Our take on the venerable Tube Screamer. The classic green overdrive circuit defined the sound of rock and blues for decades, but it always came with compromise: a squashed low end, heavy compression, and that unmistakable nasal mid-honk. The Dear John is Union Tube & Transistor's definitive answer to the classic Tube Screamer topology, reimagined from the ground up to give your rig the push it deserves without stealing its voice. Built with the same JRC4558D IC chip and analog circuitry as the original, our Dear John has the three traditional overdrive, level, and tone controls. It’s also 10dB louder than the original, and is true bypass.
