Description
The Greatest Tube-Driving OD, Times Three
The Warm Audio Tube Squealer is a faithful recreation of not one, not two, but three of the most celebrated mid-gain overdrives known for driving tube amps into blissful tonal saturation. These three classic voicings, accurately recreated by the Tube Squealer, have shaped some of the most iconic guitar tones in history, used by legends and featured in countless celebrated effects chains.The added mix knob, voltage boost, bypass selector, and pickup voicing selector make the Tube Squealer a high-value overdrive that never needs to leave your board.
Three Voicings, Same Great Tube Saturation
The three voicings of the Tube Squealer, labeled 808, TS10, and TS9, distinctly switch the circuitry to recreate the venerable Japanese circuits from the late '70s through the late '80s. The 808 voicing delivers the earliest versions of the classic overdrive. TS9 delivers the most popular and produced version. The TS10 circuit is an oft-overlooked classic circuit only gaining popularity as time goes on.
Features Fit For Any Rig
The Tube Squealer takes the concept of the tube-driving mid-gain overdrive to the next level by including three features that add tons of flexibility to any setup.
Mix Knob
Easily dial back the entire signal of the pedal and blend in the clean tone, or, completely turn the mix knob off for authentically original tube-driving tone.
Pickup Voicing Selector
Delivers an alternative to the typical "screaming" midrange emphasis that goes so well with singlecoils. Engage the humbucker voice and hear more presence and remove the "mud" that sometimes accompanies this OD's pairing with dual-humbucker instruments.
True Bypass Selector
Ensures the Tube Squealer is adaptable to any pedalboard configuration.
External Voltage Doubler
Instantly increase headroom on Tube Squealer for more boosted tones before the pedal starts to saturate.
Premium Components, 100% Analog Circuitry
The Tube Squealer is loaded with premium analog components including JRC4558 op-amps, discrete transistors & diodes, and premium JFETs, making up the all-analog circuitry required to deliver three iconic overdrive pedals in one stompbox. Tube Squealer delivers symmetrical clipping, authentically recreating the first-of-its-kind pedal topology used in the original Japanese pedals.
Hand-Tested In Austin, TX

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
