{"product_id":"formula-b-that-screamer-422751","title":"That Screamer","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Classic Revisited: The \"Screamer\" Spirit in a Handcrafted Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Formula B That Screamer continues the legacy of overdrives that have defined decades of guitar tones, from punchy blues rhythms to singing rock leads and fusion. The idea is not to reinvent the formula but to elevate it to a level of finish and coherence worthy of a modern pedalboard: selected components, low noise floor, and above all, a playing feel that remains organic. Its circuit notably relies on an original \u003cstrong\u003eJRC4558D\u003c\/strong\u003e dual op-amp, an iconic choice to capture the warmth and musical compression that define the genre's signature sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis overdrive is aimed at guitarists who want a \u003cstrong\u003esimple-to-adjust\u003c\/strong\u003e pedal capable of covering a wide range. In \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, it delivers that midrange bite that helps the guitar cut through the mix while maintaining a flexible feel under the fingers. In \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e or more technical playing, it provides a clean, controlled gain foundation, ideal for precise phrases without unnecessary harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, the That Screamer works equally well as a \u003cstrong\u003eprimary overdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e on a clean channel or as an \u003cstrong\u003eamp boost\u003c\/strong\u003e to push an already crunchy channel. It also excels stacked with other pedals (fuzz, distortion, other overdrives): its mid-focused EQ tightens the lows, smooths the attack, and yields more present leads, both in studio and live settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Modes, and Design: Efficiency for Fine Tuning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pedal offers a trio of immediately familiar controls: \u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e for gain amount and compression, \u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e to adjust the overall balance (from warm to sharp), and \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e to precisely set your output volume (a key point when boosting an amp or balancing multiple gain stages on the same pedalboard). The range goes from a \u003cstrong\u003elight crunch\u003c\/strong\u003e that's very responsive to a \u003cstrong\u003emedium saturation\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for solos and articulated rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor further customization, \u003cstrong\u003einternal adjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e (accessible by removing the back plate) allow you to tailor the voicing to your guitar, amp, and playing style via \u003cstrong\u003e4 modes\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cstrong\u003eT808\u003c\/strong\u003e (classic vintage mid hump), \u003cstrong\u003eT9\u003c\/strong\u003e (more open and aggressive), \u003cstrong\u003eT10\u003c\/strong\u003e (more modern and tight), and \u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e (a blend of T808 and T10). This is a real advantage if you switch from a vintage-style combo to a modern head, or alternate between single-coils and humbuckers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding signal integrity, the That Screamer features a \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass with buffer\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to maintain a clear attack and consistent feel, especially on long signal chains or dense pedalboards. The entire unit is \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade\u003c\/strong\u003e in Todi, Italy, with particular attention to robustness and consistency from one unit to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe That Screamer delivers an overdrive with a \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emusical\u003c\/strong\u003e character, focusing on the midrange to help the guitar \"speak\" without artificially boosting the lows. The dynamics remain central to the playing experience: lowering the guitar volume cleans up the saturation with a smooth transition, handy for moving from a near-clean accompaniment to a denser lead without adjusting settings. Depending on the chosen internal mode, you can go from a very \"vintage\" and singing texture to a tighter, more \u003cstrong\u003emodern\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, useful for maintaining definition on chords or more pronounced rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOverdrive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAnalog\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eelectric guitar\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequired power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e9V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Formula B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358633087251,"sku":"422751","price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0ef3c5fa9d8b05f56f325133b8a484cb6131f8e0_FILLING_FBTHA_86b70534-eef2-4fb1-801d-0966b1cb7b88.jpg?v=1788885222","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/formula-b-that-screamer-422751","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
