JapanAxe Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) This was apparently the second most popular pedal in the Soundtank (aka 'Potato Bug') series, after the TS5 Tube Screamer. If you are unfamiliar with the 5 series, they were a budget follow-up to the 8, 9 and 10 series, with a plastic shell on a metal baseplate. More info can be found [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/ibanez/soundtank/pl5#"]here[/url]. It's a distortion/overdrive pedal. I found it excessively vicious so I replaced the clipping diodes with nearly-matched LEDs, which allows a much more usable range of distortion. I also seem to recall replacing the 9V power inlet socket, as the original was knackered. The tone control is not simply a treble roll-off filter, it sweeps the mid band form piercing to fat. The overall sound is quite mid-centred, not really suitable for bass unless you are running a two-amp setup. The pedal is in fair condition, although the level pot crackles if you wiggle it. I am asking a paltry [size=5][b]£15[/b][/size] delivered in the UK. Edited January 26, 2017 by JapanAxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
