Do we need another overdrive pedal that offers a sound inspired by the Ibanez Tube Screamer, one of the most popular pedals of all time, and absolutely one of the most copied? Yes, we do, and there’s another one – it’s called the Gritador, it’s made by Browne Amplification, designed by Dave Brown himself, and is described as the perfect Tube Screamer variant.
We have heard all this before but then there are lots of perfect pedals on the market and always room for more. Given how the Tube Screamer operates, it won’t surprise you to lear that the Gritador – which BTW translates as “screamer” in Portuguese – does its magic in the midrange, and that’s where Brown did much of the fine-tuning to get the sound just right.
