Ibanez produced the NTS Nu Tube Screamer as the first compact guitar effects pedal to incorporate a Nutube directly into its circuitry. Developed in collaboration with KORG, the unit paired Ibanez's Tube Screamer overdrive platform with KORG's Nutube technology. Ibanez positioned it as delivering improved sensitivity, natural tube compression, and exceptional dynamics relative to conventional solid-state overdrive designs.
The NTS ran 100% analog circuitry and was manufactured in Japan. A relay true bypass switch handled signal routing. The pedal accepted power via DC 9–18V negative-center supply or a single 006P 9V battery, with current draw varying by voltage. Four controls — Drive, Tone, Level, and Mix — governed the overdrive character and blending. The unit measured 71(W) × 124(D) × 53(H) mm.
Owners requiring service, calibration, or parts sourcing for the Nutube component should consult a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair specialist familiar with vacuum-fluorescent tube devices.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
