Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity: The Tube Screamer Reborn When it comes to guitar overdrive, the Ibanez Tube Screamer stands tall as a true icon. Its warm, smooth distortion has graced countless recordings and stages, shaping the sounds of legendary players. But what if you could take that beloved circuit and elevate it to new heights? Enter the Wattson Classic Electronics Escape Velocity - the Tube Screamer reimagined. This pedal starts with the classic TS foundation, capturing that sweet, saturated tone we all know and love. But Wattson didn't stop there. They've meticulously engineered a series of enhancements that make the Escape Velocity a truly remarkable overdrive. First, the bass response has been dramatically improved, making this pedal a stellar choice for bassists and low-tuned guitarists. The variable clipping threshold "O2" control allows you to fine-tune the onset of distortion, unlocking a world of tonal possibilities. And the "Trajectory" switch? It eliminates the iconic "mid hump" for a flatter, more versatile frequency response. But the Escape Velocity isn't just about sonic perfection. It's also built like a tank, with a rugged powder-coated enclosure and engraved, gold-filled legends that will withstand the rigors of the stage. And with the ability to run on 9-18V power, this pedal can handle anything you throw at it. Whether you're a die-hard Tube Screamer devotee or simply seeking the ultimate overdrive experience, the Wattson Classic Electronics Escape Velocity is a must-try. It's the Tube Screamer reborn, ready to take your playing to new heights.
