Emerson Custom Scranton Screamer Overdrive Pedal

Sounds So Good, It’ll Scare You Straight

Want to add the sound of screaming tubes to your guitar rig — at any volume? The Emerson Scranton Screamer does just that. What’s more, it eclipses similar pedals with the addition of an active 2-band EQ and a 2-way clipping switch. This high-quality, handwired stompbox employs handpicked and matched parts to maximize its tone and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure rock-solid reliability. The Scranton Screamer overdrive boasts Prison Mike–inspired graphics, complete with Dementors.

Classic overdrive with an expanded feature set

Descended from the ubiquitous green, ’80s-era overdrive pedal, the Scranton Screamer produces a familiar tubelike clipping. That said, it distinguishes itself with an active 2-band EQ, which enables sound shaping that goes beyond its predecessor. On top of that, a 2-way switch gives you the choice of green-sounding symmetrical clipping or yellow-sounding asymmetrical clipping. The Scranton Screamer is powered by a standard 9-volt power supply — it does not run on batteries.
