What started as a joke became the world’s first and only tap tempo overdrive. The Cusack Music Tap-A-Scream is our Screamer overdrive pedal with our tap tempo engine. But why is there to tap tempo on an overdrive, you ask? The gain of course. Best described sonically as an overdriven tremolo, the Tap-A-Scream has all the same features of the Screamer, while the 24 waveforms modulate the gain.

The fade-in, brake speed, tap divide, tempo, and tremolo on/off are all programmable for each waveform independently. Once you have the settings for a given waveform simply push BOTH footswitches as the same time to save those settings.

Tap-A-Scream

This pedal includes all of the great tone of the Screamer Fuzz V2 with the addition of a low-pass tone control that many of our customers were asking for.  With the fuzz all the way down, it’s like a screamer with the tone at noon. With the screamer all the way down, it’s a gnarly fuzz pedal. You can get a really cool combination of sounds by mixing various amounts of each. This is a very versatile pedal! Whether you are looking to add a little fuzz edge to your overdrive, or an overdrive foundation to your fuzz, this pedal may be just the ticket to the tone you've been searching for!

“Hey, what’s that toggle for?“ Well, that’s the Clip Selector, which allows you to select either silicon (Si), schottky (SBD), or asymmetrical LED clipping on the Screamer half of the pedal.

Screamer Fuzz V3

20 years after the release of the Cusack Screamer V1, we present the Cusack Screamer V3. Unlike the previous version where different clipping modes were added, this pedal has no new features. Wait, what?

The Cusack Screamer is a “clean” overdrive, but has about twice the gain of a typical Tube Screamer. Many TS style pedals come off as “mid-rangey” or “muddy”, making them easy to get lost in a mix. This is where the Screamer offers much more clarity than a typical overdrive. It has been meticulously thought out, and tweaked for maximum tonal definition. You can actually hear the individual notes of complex chords that would normally be buried. Many players consider the Cusack Screamer to be the best option in a crowded field for good reason! The V3 now has metal film caps, but don't be fooled, we think it sounds the same. Can you hear a difference?

Screamer V3

This pedal includes all of the great tone of the Screamer V2 (minus the actual “Tone” knob), and adds a very unique kind of fuzz. With the fuzz all the way down, it’s like a screamer with the tone at noon. With the screamer all the way down, it’s a gnarly fuzz pedal. You can get a really cool combination of sounds by mixing various amounts of each.

“Hey, what’s that toggle for?“ Well, that’s the Clip Selector, which allows you to select either the Standard, Crushed, or Asymmetrical LED clipping on the “Scream” half of the pedal!

“Why is there an LED above the NEW Clip Selector?“ That’s the all new LED Clip-O-Meter! That’s right ,you can now SEE your guitar clipping! What’s more, if you drive it hard with another pedal, you can use it as a “strobe tuner”. Just hit your 5th fret, and the next open, just as you would tune by ear. When the Clip-O-Meter stops blinking, you are in tune!

Screamer Fuzz v2

The Pedal Board Tamer is a programmable pedal loop switcher. With so many useful standard features it is all you will need to tame your pedal board! Unlike the majority of the programmable switchers available today, the PBT remains completely true bypass when the switchable input buffer is turned off.
