What is it? Ibanez MSL Metal Screamer from Master series. Made in japan around 1986. These seem to be rather rare these days. And with rarity, or scarcity, come a price tag that’s not for everyone. I happened to score this unit with some nicks and dents from Mr. Lindén in a batch deal for…

Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion
What is it? Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion. Made in china, late 00’s. Not sure if the TK999HT is currently in production anymore. Ibanez site doesn’t list it and many european internet shops don’t have it on their listings. At least not any more. This high gain distortion is somewhat impressive by its appearance. The…
Ibanez DS7 Distortion
What is it? Ibanez DS7 Distortion from 7/Tonelok series. Made in taiwan, 1999. One of the Tonelok series early birds. Somehow i have a feeling the DS7 was discontinued earlier than the rest of the bunch. I think i see a point in this. Anyway. This one doesn’t have any other controls but drive, tone…
Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo
What is it? Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo from 7/Tonelok series. Made in china around 1999-2002. Couple of Ibanez delays hold a few remarkable places in my personal favourites. The DE7 ranks very high on that list. I set up photos with two separate units, side by side, since while the electronics remain the same on both units…
Ibanez BB9 Bottom Booster
What is it? Ibanez BB9 Bottom Booster, from modern 9-series. Made in china around 2010 or so. There are only a few Ibanez designs that are more like meh. This is definitely not one of those. I had interest for this for some time, before i spotted one for reasonable price tag on one auction…
Ibanez BP5 Bass Compressor
What is it? Ibanez BP5 Bass Comp compressor from the Soundtank series. Made in taiwan around mid 90’s. Who would have thought that BP5 was the hardest unit to find in all the plastic Soundtanks? Well it was. The complete series did come by more easily than i expected, but there were still a couple…
Ibanez DDL20 Delay III
What is it? Ibanez DDL20 Delay III from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. I should count the Ibanez delays. Yup. At least 18 different delay units are listed at the Effectsdatabase. Sure, this includes all the units from different series since 70’s, but that’s still a lot of delays. The features on…
Ibanez SS20 Session Man II
What is it? Ibanez SS20 Session Man II Distortion/Delay multi-effect from Power series. Made in japan in mid 80’s. Ok. Apparently the first session man wasn’t a flop enough. Sharing parts of the design with the first Session Man “multi-effect”, this unit pairs a nasty, short delay to what appears to be the same distortion…
Ibanez DDL10 Delay II
What is it? Ibanez DDL10 Delay II from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. Power series has way too many delays. What makes this fact even more sad is that these are all interesting designs. And most of them differ from others, so it’s a painful series to collect. To begin with, Delay…
Ibanez TC999 Tube King Compressor
What is it? Ibanez TC999 Tube King Compressor made in Japan in the 90’s. It’s been quite long since i got this unit and took the photos (so sorry about the quality). Got this as semi-functioning unit in a trade. Problem was with the enormous amounts of hiss and interfecence when pedal was engaded. Dirk…
