The retro-inspired Ibanez TSA5TVR combo guitar amplifier gives you real tube tone with the distortion and overdrive of a TS9 Tube Screamer pedal. A perfect marriage of the TS9's super-popular stompbox-style distortion with an all-tube amp (complete with a genuine Jensen speaker), the TSA5TVR combo amp lets you dial in legendary overdrive tone right out of the box. What's more, this super-portable 5-watt combo delivers this tone at the perfect volume for small venues, rehearsing, and recording, making the Ibanez TSA5TVR one impressively versatile and cool-looking guitar amplifier.

The TSA5TVR gives you the sound of real TS9 Tube Screamer distortion/overdrive pedal built right into its preamp section. Why put a tube-style distortion effect in a real tube amp? Ask any Sweetwater guitar expert - the ultra-popular Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer is one of the few distortion stompboxes you'll find in front of tube amp stacks played by major-league guitarists. That's because it sounds great and does a phenomenal job of pushing tube amps past the breakup point. When you kick in the TSA5TVR's Tube Screamer circuit, you'll be blown away by how huge this little amp can sound.

Ignore the built-in Tube Screamer circuit for a second and simply consider the Ibanez TSA5TVR as a tube guitar amplifier. What you'll find is an all-tube design that combines a 12AX7 preamp tube and a 6V6 power tube - a recipe for classic tube-amp tone in a small package. Now add in the TSA5TVR's 8" Jensen C8R speaker, and you couldn't ask for a more tried-and-true tube-amp tone.

When you want big tube amp sound at not-so-big volumes, the Ibanez TSA5TVR is the tube amp you need. Five watts may not sound like much, but the TSA5TVR provides easily enough output for playing smaller venues. At the same time, five watts lets you pull back the volume without losing the breakup you need, making the TSA5TVR a wonderful guitar amplifier for recording and rehearsing, as well.
