One Control PGS Persian GreenScreamer Guitar Effects Pedal
PersianGreen Screamer. Be the world standard 100 years from now TS – We had ahazy visualization of making a tube screamer soon after we startedworking with BJF.
Designingthis pedal was not hard but it was very difficult to see value inlaunching this product. Perfect sound is already available. Whether itis in low gain or with a small amp, the pedal makes awesome sound andit was just so perfect that we could not find anything wrong with it.
Butour ever-challenging mind eventually reached this concept:
Bethe world standard 100 years from now It’ll remain as the standard forthe next 100 years. To become the standard. We need to use high-qualityparts that are universally available. Users, have no fear. We’ll bearound 100 years from now. 100 years’ worth of designs are packed inthis pedal. It’s time to begin the next generation standard.
Incorporatinga dual Op Amp and symmetrical diode clipping, this pedal became thelegend that built the foundation of the overdrive pedal circuit. Thispedal, which is called the “tube screamer”, is the all-time classic, orstandard of overdrive pedals.
Nearlyall effect builders have produced this circuit whether it is part oftheir collection or not.
Nevertheless,why do we seem fed up with the word, “TS”? It provides an excellentcircuit and allows a wide range by adjusting a few variables. While itsstrong mid tone is obviously useful, too much exposure to it may boreusers.
Butwere users sick of TS? The answer is NO. It is not true as far asoriginal vintage TS pedals go. The great original quality has been andwill be there unchanged.
DidTS give up trying to regain its great original sound? Although itsfunctions, universality, response, dynamics and frequency response areall essential for an effects pedal, pursuing them could have blurredthe goal.
OneControl Persian Green Screamer aims to attain the ultimate form of tubescreamer circuit. “It’s been decades,” said BJF while easily completingthe circuit. He made a circuit that was like no other TS circuits bycombining the original TS circuit and his own creativity.
OneControl believes that TS has to have the ability to create a vintageoriginal sound and be an authentic modern overdrive effects pedal atthe same time. It has to first attain the goal of creating a vintage TSsound that other TS pedals gave up pursuing. Otherwise, there is nopoint for One Control to produce a TS pedals now.
ThePersian Green Screamer used a compact machined aluminum case tominimize noise down to an ultimate low level. It is made withoutexpensive components that are hard to obtain so that it continues to bea standard effects pedal that is universally available no matter whereyou go. It will be developed in the same field as the original vintageeffects pedals. To be the ultimate form of the tube screamer, PersianGreen Screamer has to pursue its original method like no others. That’swhere BJF’s circuit comes to life.
ThePersian Green Screamer has to be a pedal that creates a vintage TSsound and a modern overdrive effects pedal at the same time. The switchis added on the side of the body for that reason. You can switchbetween two modes, Vintage/Modern, to satisfy the needs for the twocontradicting elements without compromise.
TheVintage mode creates beautiful distortion that is unique to large-case“TS-808.” It is a creamy, warm solid tone. Its dynamic range is not toobroad and the mid-range is emphasized.
Yet,it attained a perfect balance and does not give you pressure that issometimes described as “nasal.”
Italso realized a sound in the “Boost Setting” with minimum OVERDRIVE andmaximum LEVEL while increasing its control range so you can use asetting like “OVERDRIVE=-2,LEVEL=12.” On the other hand, the TONE knobrange is limited to only allow minor adjustment of the rich subtlesound. Few players use the entire level pf TS808 TONE from minimum tomaximum. A Guitar can do that more effectively and TS808 rather createsa sound that is too light if you increase the tone. Thus, the range islimited to the range that is most required by guitarists.
TheModern mode allows transformation to “transparent” overdrive forperfectly clean boost. It gives life to the guitar and amp soundwithout changing it drastically. The overdrive can be used like apreamp or a compressor as well. You can change the gain easily byadjusting the Volume knob or picking strength. It has a wide-range andhigh response. You can leave it on all the time to give a slightthickness to the guitar tone. You can also actively alter TONE unlikewith the Vintage mode.
ThePersian Green Screamer operates under high voltage when used with up toan 18V adapter. With higher voltage, head room is increased to alloweven richer expression while reducing the gain slightly. It is aneffective way to add variations to tones.
Theability to switch between the perfect vintage TS sound and a modern andopen transparent drive just by sliding the switch is what made it theoverdrive that everyone was dreaming of. It is the BJF magic thatsimply makes it happen.
TheOne Control Persian Green Screamer attempted and achieved the goalgiven to the “TS” sound that was once thought to be impossible.
