Good Deal on the BBE Green Screamer at Musician’s Friend

Checking out Musician’s Friend’s Price Cuts for Amps & Effects, I saw a good deal going on for the BBE Green Screamer.  I’ve seen deals on BBE pedals in the past, so it’s nice to see them happening again.

Currently the BBE Green Screamer (based on older Tubescreamer circuit) is available for $59.09 at Musician’s Friend. It’s normal MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) is $149.00. It was originally listed at $99.00 and it now on sale for $59.09. That’s 60% off of MSRP. Not bad at all.

Here is the official description:

The BBE Green Screamer effect pedal is a vintage overdrive capable of producing a dynamic range of smooth and warm overdrive tones associated with vintage tube amps. The overdrive pedal features rugged construction that can take a beating, thanks to its heavy-duty die-cast chassis. Fat knurled knobs let you dial in your ultimate tone with your toes. The status LED light lets you see the pedal is engaged even on a dimly lit stage. A non-skid pad on the bottom reduces movement, so you don’t have to chase your pedal across the floor. True hardwire bypass switching ensures it has no effect on your tone when its disengaged. The BBE overdrive pedal’s easy access battery compartment is included so you don’t expose your circuitry every time you need to change the battery.

The BBE Green Screamer pedal delivers a creamy, tube-like, dynamically responsive overdrive that won’t mask the tone of your guitar and amp. This pedal has three main controls: Gain, Tone, and Level, and a true hardware bypass switch, and can be powered by a 9V battery or AC adapter. Use a Green Screamer pedal as a stand-alone overdrive, adding overdrive to a single-channel amplifier. You can also use it as a solo booster also, not necessarily as a transparent solo booster, but a booster that has a midrange characteristic to boost solos or just to chunk up rhythms.
