When it comes to electronics for the working musician,
Ibanez has been at it for a long time.
In the ‘70s, when bands like the Grateful Dead wanted to
take the amazing sounds they were creating in the studio
out on the road, Ibanez created some of the first working
rack gear like the AD230 and the AD2000 to do just that.
When the Dead wanted to clean up the mess of wires
on stage created by their various effects pedals, Ibanez
designers came up with the UE700 – the first fully
integrated multi-effects unit. From then on, it was a
non-stop push to do more.
Ibanez continued to work on perfecting its compact
effects and in 1980 released the now legendary TS808
Tube Screamer. This led to the 1982 introduction of the
Nine Series, which included the TS9 Tube Screamer,
FL9 Flanger, CS9 Chorus and AD9 Analog Delay. Over the
years, the reputation these pedals established has grown
among tone connoisseurs to the extent that they’ve
became effects icons in their own right. Long after
production had ceased, collectors sought them out in
pawnshops and vintage gear shows, driving their street
value through the roof. Ultimately, the demand became so
strong that Ibanez could no
longer ignore it, and the cov-
eted compacts were carefully
recreated and reissued. Today
you’ll find these pedals–both
original and reissue–still on
the job with famous and not-
so-famous working players
around the world.
While those vintage stompboxes are the standard by
which all other classic effects are judged, Ibanez had
a very non-vintage vision for its guitar amplifiers. In
1998, Ibanez began offering amps built for heavy rock
and metal guitarists like those playing our RG six- and
seven-strings. Tone Blaster amps were loaded with mas-
sive overdrive and distortion and total in-your-face tones.
The amps started small to keep it sane. And when people
asked for more, Ibanez gave it to them…with 100 watt
Tone Blaster stacks and then the monstrous 120 watt
all-tube Thermion. But it’s the working player–the one
who’s out there night after night–that our guitar and bass
amps are really made for. Their durability and reliability have
made them the envy of many established amp makers.
Which brings us to 2007. The redesigned Tone Blasters
are even louder and more extreme than the originals–a
feat not easily achieved. We’re also proud to offer the new
MIMX series, our first modeling amps, which offer
classic sounds as well as new, aggressive, over-
driven tones for today.
But it’s not all about radical tones. Our best
selling Sound Wave bass amps continue to
provide the groove in every genre. And our all-
analog Troubadour acoustic amps still offer the
most natural, high-fidelity sound around. Ibanez
also offers a wide range of smartly designed electronic
tuners to make sure your tones are always in tune.
Whether your playing is acoustically uplifting or
electrically lethal, Ibanez electronics can help you get
the sound you’re going for. Keep reading for the full story!
