Combining the standard features of a guitar amp with their legendary Tube Screamer overdrive pedal, Japanese manufacturer Ibanez has created a highly original TSA30 tube model.
Construction and design
The case of the combo amplifier is not quite the usual white colour with a black protective mesh turned out to be strong enough to withstand frequent transportation. But in connection with this, he also has a considerable weight — 17.7 kg. It is not very easy to carry by one person even for such compact dimensions (a little less than half a metre in height and width). The back cover traditionally has wide openings for full sound transmission, and the controls are conveniently located on the front panel above the mesh that covers the speaker.
Tube Screamer
Next to the instrument cable connection jack is a built-in effect control unit OD — Tube Screamer with distortion level, volume and tone controls. The effect is considered to be a classic example of overdrive, which many other manufacturers of analogue and digital pedals look up to. His sound is deep, open and soft, while quite powerful, especially when combined with humbuckers. In a word, an perfect option for blues-rock.
And other goodies
To the right of the Tube Screamer settings are: the input signal booster (+6 dB), controls for the 3-band EQ, volume and gain. On the rear panel there are connectors for connecting: headphones (Speaker out); external effects in the gap (Send/Return); additional cabinet (Ext Speaker Out); footswitch foot controller (to control the booster and effect), which, unfortunately, is not included in the kit, but could.
General impression
The successful combination of the built-in amplifier and the 12-inch Celestion speaker creates a dense, rich sound that cuts through the overall mix well. The sound, flavored with the built-in effect, fits the definition of "classic old overdrive", and the wedge and crunch sound with a wide warm tone. An output power of 30 W is enough for stage use, but only with additional sounding in the portals.
Overall, the model is perfect for studio work and deserves the attention of the pros, especially due to the built-in Tube Screamer. But for beginners, the combo may not like it for the lack of any built-in effects, except for overload.
