Description:
The Persian Green Screamer
is able to create contradicting sounds; a vintage ‘tube screamer’ sound
and a modern overdrive sound thanks to some BJF magic. Switching between two contradicting
sounds has never been easier. Simply slide the switch between Vintage & Modern mode.

A Screaming History
To become the world standard, it's essential to use high-quality parts that are universally available. We
did exactly this, Have no fear guys, we intend to be around for another 100 years. With this being said,
this pedal is a combination of
100 years’ worth of designs. Some famous guitarists have said that this
is the best screamer they've ever used. Let me explain how all of this happened...
Nearly all effect builders have produced a screamer circuit, yet they are all very similar. However, mine
is extremely different. By incorporating a dual Op Amp and symmetrical diode clipping, the Persian
Green Screamer has become the new standard in screamer pedals. Tube-screamer circuitry is
renowned for its flexibility due to its endless creative options by adjusting a few variables. While its
strong mid tone is obviously useful, too much exposure to it may bore users.
But are uses sick of this sound? The answer is NO.
Two Modes, One Pedal
The Persian Green Screamer aims to attain the ultimate tube screamer sound. I've combined a typical
tube screamer circuit with one of my own designs. One Control believes that this effect has to have the
ability to create a vintage original sound and yet have an authentic modern underlying tone.
That’s
where BJF circuitry comes into play.
The Persian Green Screamer is a pedal that creates a vintage TS sound and a modern overdrive
sound pedal at the same time. A switch has been added to the side of the body for exactly this reason.
You can switch between two modes, Vintage & Modern. We felt like this was essential to satisfy the
wants of players while encompassing these two contradicting elements.
The Vintage
mode creates beautiful distortion that is unique and similar to the “TS-808.” It is a creamy,
warm solid tone. Its dynamic range is not too broad and the mid-range is emphasized. The classic TS
effect was described sometimes as "nasal", yet we were able to attain a perfect balance through
advanced circuitry design. Vintage mode can create a perfect vintage sound with single coil pickups or
P-
90. It’s a bit different with a humbucker or high-output pickup, but sounds vintage when placed before
Granith Grey Booster (GGB). Suppression with overpowered output is the key.
The Modern mode allows for a 'transparent' overdrive for a perfectly clean boost. It gives life to the
guitar and amp sound without changing it drastically. The overdrive can be used like a preamp or a
compressor as well. You can change the gain easily by adjusting the Volume knob or by changing your
picking strength. It has a wide-range and high response. You can leave it on throughout your
performance in order to give a thickness to your guitar tone. In Modern mode, you can adjust the
TONE setting whereas in Vintage mode, you cannot. The Modern mode is compatible matches any
guitar whether single coil or a large-output guitar. Sudden transformation of the vintage TS sound into
open and clear sound surprised everybody but they really liked both modes.
