DigiTech Screamin Blues Overdrive and Distortion Pedal Reviews
I really like this little gem. Electronically, it is basically a "Blues Driver" clone. The main differences are that the Screamin' Blues is brighter and clearer and has an added Bass control knob. That being said, The Screamin' Blues is actually less harsh than the Blues Driver. In a low gain setting, The Screamin' Blues sounds very much like Keith Richard's rhythm tone. Also very reminiscent of Dave Gilmour's lead sound in "Another Brick in the Wall, pt II".Mid-Gain= intro to Floyd's "Have a Cigar". At full gain, it sounds like a Twin Reverb cranked all the way with its channels joined. To get an idea of how this pedal sounds, take a listen to Santana's "Singing Winds, Crying Beasts". That is the sort of sound that you would expect from the Screamin' Blues at full gain. For those that say it is not transparent, IT IS TRANSPARENT, in a Blues Driver, Tube Driver, Colorsound Powerboost kind of way. As a booster, it works great. I use it to boost a "Civil War" Sovtek Big Muff Pi. Properly used like so, gives the Muff a smoother and slightly more aggressive sound. It does not change the sound, just adds to it, lives it alone or takes away (which is what a booster is supposed to do). If you are short on cash, It is a superb replacement for a Blues Driver, a Tube Driver or a Colorsound Powerboost (I swear it is that good!) Obviously, I am not a newbie. I have been playing for 16 years, and I know what is good and what is bad. I play mainly Fenders and Gibsons. With humbuckers, it is early old-school Santana/Schon territory. With Single coils it takes you to the realm of Dave Gilmour. The only downside is that it hisses somewhat. The buffer is pretty ok. Does not suck your tone.
