Overdrive To Fuzz! Ibanez Session Man SS10 vs 2 RAT Style Distortion Pedals [Tone Comparison]
Guyatone PS-033 ua-cam.com/video/jbAdKHCc4ek/v-deo.html
The Ibanez Session-Man SS10 has become somewhat of a collectible pedal and it's value has increased quite a bit, from what was once an obscure 2-in-1 style pedal.
I recently had the opportunity to borrow this pedal from my best friend and decided to put it through its paces against two other RAT-inspired distortion pedal. We'll play through the "sweet spot" distortion, a nice crunch overdrive, and max gain fuzz-like tones.

Secondo te il boss ge-7 ibanez ge10 o boss ge-10 qual è il migliore?
Thanks for watching!
5532 smooth.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the 5532 sounds pretty good!
There a resistor by the gain that doesn't have a value anyone know what it is ?
Thanks for watching! That resistor is the potentiometer for the gain.
I have one of these too and I connected a trimpot parallel to input pot to decrease the value of this control and the result is a less distorted sound Do you know if I can use it with 12V or 18v or even 24vi instead 9v? Cause I got a cleaner with more headroom at 18v but I don’t want to damage the pedal Do you know if I can do it Thanks for you attention Mr Suzuki
Thanks for watching! 12 volts won't be a problem, but 18V and 24V can be a problem since the heater wiring for the tubes come directly off of the power supply. With anything above 13 volts you'll be overheating the tube and will most likely shorten its life or damage the filaments. Hope this helps!
❤ the Ibanez is such a beauty in contrast to the evil sounds that it can create.The on board chorus shows that pedal companies was back in the 90s allready ahead its time. Thank you sir for sharing.

I have a 902 PCB
Thanks for watching! Yes, I have since come across 902 circuits, so they are out there. Maybe it was a short lived transition circuit?
Wouldnt installing a noise gate pedal in the chain eliminate the noise?
Thanks for watching! Yes, for the most part. But as you probably know, a noise gate isn't perfect, so depending on the style of music/guitar playing, the noise will come through under certain conditions.
I think low output is by default. Had to crank level all the way up on my pedal too. Even after replacing capacitators (was very noisy).
Thanks for the info! Good to know it's not just my unit that has this issue. Thanks for watching!
It's only when you get into high gain are there any kind of differences but they're small (slightly brighter, slightly darker). They all sound good and it's only because we're listening to them back to back to back that the differences can be picked out. You could just adjust the tone a bit to compensate. This is a great vid to debunk "magic diode" myths.
Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your impressions with us! I Hope you enjoyed the video!
One of my favourite hobbies :)
Thanks for watching! Yes, salvaging thrift stores is a lot of fun! 😄
Nice. Seems any op-amp will get the job done, and I like messing with the cap values anyway so the small differences are nothing.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video!
My favourite Boss drive
Thanks for watching! Yes, the OD-2 is a great overdrive pedal!
Very nice!
Thank you!
I own this pedal and have for over a year. Picked up an inexpensive Behringer for $22.50 at Sweetwater and it sounds much better! It’s brighter and crisper. The build quality on the Boss is awesome, it’s a tank, but by comparison it sounds muffled next to the Behringer. I’ll check the noise difference now.
Thanks for watching! Great to hear that the Behringer EQ pedal is working out for you! Behringer pedals are awesome!
@ it’s good news for Behringer but not so much for Boss which costs 5x more 🤨
@@tremdoctor007 😄Behringer has been making clones of dozens and dozens of different Boss pedals over the years, I think they each have their place in the market at this point.
@ just tested tonight. The Behringer is twice as quiet not engaged as the Boss, and the tone is brighter and clearer, not colored or muffled. The Boss is a very well made quality pedal, but the hissing really is not good and the basey muffling is unwelcome. I’ll need to ask boss why they added that
@@tremdoctor007 That's awesome! Great to hear the Behringer gave you such nice results!
Here's the most strange thing, I have built op amp diy breadboard projects and transistor based ones, the op amps ones never work, never get any distortion period, I've followed your three part series exactly but the transistor ones always work. Any ideas?
Thanks for watching! It sounds like you are familiar with using a breadboard, and if the transistor circuits all worked fine, the only thing I can suggest is double checking the pinouts of the op amp that you are using. Also, unlike the pinout of transistor datasheets where you're looking at it from "underneath," op amp pinouts are drawn for when looking at it from "above." (the side that has the print on it) Hope this helps!
Hi! My comment may not apply to your problem(s), so keep that in mind. I've also had MAJOR difficulties even getting opamps to work. But now I've overcome those obstacles with a vengeance 😎 My recommendation to you is to start with the absolute basics. What I mean is for instance to control (with a multimeter) that you get the expected output voltage on the output pin. Stuff like that. And don't over-complicate anything before you've gone through the previous steps. Start without the opamp and see to that you have plus and GND or minus (depending on if you run on dual or single supply) on the correct pins of you use that kind of mounting thing for opamps. Then proceed to place the opamp in the circuit and see if you indeed get the mid-point of the supply voltage if you don't feed the opamp with a signal(s). And so on. Also, many opamps are susceptible to ESD (static electricity). So, if you touch the pins without having for instance a ESD bracelet on your wrist, you can permanently damage it. The same goes for if you force it to output a too high current. That will fry the circuit. When the opamp is within a circuit, it is often "protected by the circuitry" from ESD. You mainly have to take extra care of it when mounting / in the beginning of the circuit. My recommendation is to start with a single supply of +9V. Then bias the incoming signal with two identical resistors, one connected to + and one to GND. The signal is input in the middle of these two resistors (that form a voltage divider). Place a coupling capacitor going "in" to the midpoint of the biasing voltage divider. This will keep direct current (which can be seen as a superposition of your signal) from coming into the input to the opamp. And it will prevent any DC from going into your signal source (like your guitar). Now, place a potentiometer (e.g., 50k) between the output of the opamp and the negative input of the opamp. Place a 10 uF capacitor connected to ground. Connect the capacitors other leg with a 1k resistor. Connect the other leg of this resistor to the negative input of the opamp. This will form your feedback circuit. If you turn up the potentiometer (increase its resistance), the output will increase. When turning down the pot, the output will decrease. Now, connect +9V to your opamps V+ pin. And connect GND to your opamps V- pin. Connect a coupling capacitor from the opamp output (same reason was for the input). You now have a circuit that will work. Experiment with what happens if you turn the pot up and down, monitor the output voltage until you understand how the opamp actually works. And disregard this comment if you already knew this 😂 Good luck!
This three part series is so great, thank you for sharing such great information and knowledge with everyone, being a awesome starting point, and encouraging people, you take the time to break things down. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much again for your kind words! I really appreciate it! Great to hear you enjoyed the videos and I hope you can get your op amp circuit up and running!
Really good tutorial. Explains a lot. It's my first time building a guitar effect on a breadboard 😄 Stupid question: Can I power this circuit from the video with a 9V adapter? I'm a complete novice and just learning. Glad everything is explained so simply 😎 As soon as I understand the basics of electronics more deeply, I'll try to make switch for changing Op Amps, or Diodes in some time 🎸
Thanks for watching! Thank you so much for the kind words, great to hear this video was of some help to you! Not a stupid question! Yes, you can use a 9V adapter with no problem, just make sure to get the polarity right, since most guitar pedal power sources are "center negative" while the common standard is "center positive." Have fun! 😄

New video about this pedal! ua-cam.com/video/vkerrHRvgis/v-deo.html
Greetings from Poland , cool video ! I have a TD -1 and love it , as you stated the tube has 100 volts on the plates, is this pedal safe to play after so many years ? I am not planing to mod it , just plug and play
*and unearthed power suply, is there a way to make it safe for usage?
@@swamptank7531 Thanks for watching! If it's completely original, you definitely want to change the electrolytic capacitors. "Safe" is a relative term, if you're worried about electrocuting yourself, I think the possibilities for that are low, but you definitely have the risk of damaging your tubes of other components. If you want change it to a 3 prong power cable, just wire the ground to the chassis of the TD-1. Hope this helps!
@@arito Thanks for answer ! This pedal is special . When paired with some amps is very fat, smooth and warm. With certain harmonies that makes some sax like tones with lower notes . No wonder Shawn Lane liked it so much . Its a bit noisy too
@@swamptank7531 Yes, these Guyatone tube pedals are really great!
I was looking at Electrosmash analysis of the Rat circuit and I had an idea. I was running my guitar through my Korg MS20 and got a fantastic sound through the HPS and LPS filters. Why not do a Frankanstein Rat. Instead of the tone control you have the MS20 HPF and LPF filters with cut-off and resonance...
Thanks for the idea! I don't know the circuit for the filters on the MS20, but it would be a great idea to do a separate LP and HP filter knob on a RAT pedal!
Nice video as always Arito! I must say your Rat pedal sounded a bit better than the other two!
Hi Patrik! Thanks for always checking out my videos! Great to hear you liked the sound of my RAT pedal!
Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge, it's so awesome. Also, you are only one of two people on UA-cam where I have been successful in building a guitar pedal and having it work. Usually the other ones don't work or perform correctly, not sure why. I use a strat through a Peavey vyper modeling amp, your schematics and explanations have helped me be successful. I don't know why the others don't work, also, every time I use a transistor based pedal like the lbh fuzz or single opamp it works fine but Everytime I try to use two opamps together it never works, even the ones you have posted in other videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! It's so great to hear that you were able to build a guitar pedal, I hope you're having fun with it! And, I am grateful that I was able to be of some help to you. Regarding the two op amp circuit, if you're working with two separate op amp chips (so 4 total op amps) it might be a grounding or bias issue.
What’s a better op amp for an overdrive pedal?
Thanks for watching! There really is no "better" for overdrives, just whatever you think sounds good. I have a video comparing 14 different op amps if you're interested, link is in the description for this video.
Sounds good nice and juicy! Well done. ✝️🎸

I actually really liked the Air Con chip.
Thanks! I'm trying to build a fan following for this chip! ;) Check out my RAT op amp shootout, this chip really sounds awesome in a hard distortion/fuzz circuit!
Listening with headphones, the gloss surface chip has a more mid-focused EQ and was my favorite. With laptop speakers they all sounded the same!
Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your listening impressions!

YES!! Love Guyatone!
Thanks for the demos and comparisons. I appreciate the work you put into editing. It was especially nice to hear the difference that the Brilliance adjustments made. I liked the video.
Hi Dan, thanks for checking out my videos! And thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! The editing always takes up a lot of my time/effort so it's nice to get some positive feedback :)
I happen to own one of these that I got solely because of the aesthetics, but genuinely feel in love with it sounds
Thanks for watching! Yes, the Guyatone pedals have a really cool look to them, with the fonts and color choices! And yes, this pedal sounds great!
When you parked the brilliance control all the way to minimum and the sound became very full-range, it immediately sounded like the Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes pedal with the tone control switched out of circuit. (The EHX HT has a tone control in-out switch) 👍
Thanks for watching! I've never tried the EHX Hot Tubes, but yes, as you've noticed with the brilliance all the way down it sounds very full range super fat!
how to make an overdrive more tight? where we can change some capacitor value or resistor value usually?

Thanks for watching! And thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Great to hear the video was of some help!
My guess is, if you play music through it, it probably mixes the L&R out of phase to lose the vocals. A lot of Japanese tech was built around creating karaoke back in the late 70s and early 80s to do just this. Feed a sine wave into the line inputs in phase and see what you get at each output at the rear.
Hi, thank you for offering your thoughts and suggestions! I went back and tried it, quick answer is, nothing changed. Played: a sine wave, a mono jazz recording, and a regular stereo song. Tried both the rear line in, and the front aux input. Also tried both the line out and rec out, but unfortunately, they all came out unaffected. Thanks for the cool suggestion though!
I would love to make a pedal with a small reverb tank like that. Nice find!
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I'm definitely toying with the idea of making this into some type of pedal when I find the time.
I guess it was to record yourself on tape on top of music pre-recorded, like karaoke but at home For the guitar I think it was thought for acoustics. The reverb also points in that direction.
Hi Phil! Thanks for watching! Yes, it would make sense to plug in an acoustic guitar that has a pickup, since you wouldn't need a cab/amp simulator. Would love to hear from someone who actually used one of these.
What cool find. I hope you can find some more info on the intended use cases.That little spring tank is adorable! Have you thought about turning that into a pedal?
Hi Justin! Thanks for watching! That thing is so cute, isn't it!? I definitely want to convert it into something smaller like a pedal, not sure how easy it'd be though ;)
Well, the Thechnics SH3035 might in my opinion be a little bit lame, but however, 15 year old me 1982, Technics was the cream de la cream. I would love you to tweak this old gear with an Arito touch 😀
Hi Patrik! Thanks for always tuning in! Yes, Technics was one of those brands we dreamed of as a kid. I definitely want to do something fun with this!
Your videos are never a waste of time.
Hi Sid! Thank you so much for always checking out my videos and the kind words!! I really appreciate it, and it's really encouraging :)
I did this mode 6 or 7 Years ago. The difference was quite noticeable. Maybe the next Waza series pedal should be tbe GE7?
Thanks for watching! Yeah, we're all hoping for a WAZA GE-7 :)
