JAM Pedals Tubedreamer

The JAM Pedals Tubedreamer is probably the best 808 style overdrive you can get your hands on. With a carefully tuned, added midrange frequency register, the Tubedreamer delivers warm and rich overdriven sound through any amp. A pivotal difference between the Tubedreamer and other Tubescreamers, is JAM Pedals choice to go with 3 diodes for asymmetrical clipping instead of symmetrical, enhancing the responsiveness of the pedal to fretting and picking nuances.

Made with carbon comp resistors, the Tubedreamer employs the legendary JRC4558D chip to deliver its classic sound, just like in the original, sought-after 808’s, and also introduces a wider gain range accessible by the high-gain-stage toggle-switch. The JAM Pedals Tubedreamer is used by Bill Frisell, Dweezil Zappa, Alex Skolnick, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Nels Cline, Julien Kasper, Kirk Fletcher, Joe Robinson and more.

“A natural amp-like overdrive that responds really well to picking dynamics and is endowed with plenty of clarity so that every note in a chord rings true.” GUITARIST magazine

“I’m back on tour now and have the Tubedreamer with me in my pedalboard.” Bill Frisell
