A bargain Tube screamer that rivals the original!
This is the tube screamer, and not just any tube screamer, but the original one! There is literally no difference in sound whatsoever! The controls are familliar, and it works the same. Gain on minimum, level at maximum, tone in the middle for a boost, everything else for a good overdrive.
The build quality is like any other Behringer pedal of this range however and that means plastic all over with wonky connectors. The knobs are ok though. But for a approx. $20 pedal, it's no surprise, nor does it matter in this case because most people will have it on all the time without stomping on it too much (as a boost).
If you never tried a Tube screamer as a boost, this is the best one to get to see if you like/need a tube screamer in your life. It's affordable and the sound is (at least to me) indistinguishable from the real thing. Later, you might want to upgrade to a real one in case you need a sturdier pedal, but for a pedal that stays on and isn't stomped on, this one will last a while too!
It's amazing value for the price!

Was super impressed.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well I got used to the overdrive sound of this budget friendly pedal. Was my very first pedal but I know enough to understand that the quality of this is punching way above it's price point.

Dead-on TS clone
It's a dead-on TS clone - the only drawback is the plastic case. However, it's very sturdy plastic, so it should last for a substantial perod. You should have a power supply ready because it has a rather odd battery slot.
I use it as a boost pedal (always on): right after a wah with 0 drive, tone at 9 o'clock and level maxed. If you stack a dirtier OD, or a distortion after it you get great rock and blues tones through a tube based amp.

Blindfolded, it's a TS808
I had an original tube screamer on loan for a recording project and I loved the sound I got from it, but had to give it back. Came across a YouTube video by JHS Pedals comparing Behringer pedals to the originals, so I went ahead and bought a few different models.
None of them have disappointed, but this little dude is used almost everyday. Highly recommended, the only reason for knocking off a quality star is that I would be concerned the plastic case may not be best suited for continuous live stage abuse (e.g. being kicked across the stage every night), however at the price at least replacing it won't break the bank. Great pedal, great price.

Get Tube / Valve Type Sound Cheaply
This pedal is able to achieve sounds that are very close to the well known green pedal by a large brand name that has been used by many famous guitarists over the years ..... but you don't have to pay a large amount of money to get this sound. I play mostly rock blues style, so I do not need heavy metal distortion. This pedal offers mild rich overdrive through to fairly heavily overdriven sounds with a very valve-like feel, and it responds very well to the volume control in the guitar.

At first i wasn't very impressed with it but as i started experimenting i managed to get the sounds i wanted out of it, it's made of plastic so don't expect to throw it under a bus and for it to survive

Einsetzbar ohne Einschränkungen
Ich habe das Teil von Behringer für Auftritte benutzt bevor ich mir ein Tube Screamer leisten könnte. Die Unterschiede sind minimal und ich empfehle den Vintage Tube Overdrive egal welcher Einsatz. Es ist ein tolles, einfaches Pedal und kostet nichts.

It is THE Green Magic Box
Tested side by side with the Original...
It's not just another green box....
It is THE Green Magic Box.... in a plastic shell. Nothing more, nothing less

It?s green :-)
Yes, it?s green, it has a T and 80 in the model name... Just missing 1 letter and one number! ;-)
What it isn?t missing is the tone of another green pedal has! This really is as close as it gets to another pedal without calling itself the same name!
Want to boost your signal? Done! Want to drive the amp a bit harder? Done! Want to really gun your amp? Done!
This does everything the rather more expensive pedal does for a fraction of the price and, really, I cannot tell much tonal difference!
