FINALLY: a new Tubescreamer

Does look pretty sick though; nifty aesthetic, clean-OD balance dial, NU-TUBE technology; same as those little Vox MV heads.

!And only a mere £240 too!

I was just musing last week on what tech that might have adopted NuTubes since they were announced.
I’d be interested to try/head these, but there’s no way it would be worth the price to me.

It's getting harder and harder to find decent old-stock NUTUBES though.

Why is this not called the Nutube Screamer?!?!?!?!?!

Branding fail.

I'm wary of new Ibanez stuff ever since I had my Echo Shifter die for no reason. But it does look cool.

They wouldn't dare change their branding; it would make the SRV-heads soil their Depends-brand adult incontinence products.

Not that they'd be buying one of these anyways, but...

SRV fans now have a Pride of Texas from Danelectro Billionaire series...which seems to sound good according to the numerous youtube reviews and what I hear in them

Yeah, mix pot is a good idea but I can't believe it's taken them this long. The first TS clone to do this was the Sparkle Drive DECADES ago, which also had true bypass.

Also LOL at £239
