The "Tube Screamer" name was born when Tamura and Hoshino took an OD808 to Sam Ash Music in Manhattan, where Sammy Ash—the company founder's grandson—remarked that the pedal sounded like a "screaming tube amp," and noted that the Dunlop Cry Baby wah-wah pedal was so-named for sounding like a crying baby. As a result, the OD808 was renamed ...

In the 1990s, the American engineer Bill Finnegan sought an overdrive pedal that would recreate the harmonically rich distortion of a guitar amplifier at a high volume. [1] He wanted a "big, open" sound, with a "hint of tube clipping", that would not sound like a pedal was being used. [ 1 ]
This page lists notable bicycle brands and manufacturing companies past and present. For bicycle parts, see List of bicycle part manufacturing companies.. Many bicycle brands do not manufacture their own product, but rather import and re-brand bikes manufactured by others (e.g., Nishiki), sometimes designing the bike, specifying the equipment, and providing quality control.
The OD-1's "overdrive" referenced the pedal's asymmetrical-clipping, tube-like distortion, [38] which stood in contrast to the brash sound of "fuzz" pedals on the market. [40] The OD-1's layout was simple—with only "Level" and "OverDrive" controls. It was an immediate success, paving the way for future compact overdrive pedals.

From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the mechanical energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels (clean, lubricated new chain at 400 W), although the use of gearing mechanisms reduces this by 1–7% (clean, well-lubricated derailleurs and a straight chainline), 4–12% (chain with 3-speed hubs), or 10–20% (shaft drive with 3-speed hubs).
Many treble boosters made in the 1960s were designed to not boost the signal much. Vox even decreased the output of the American made version of their treble booster because they were afraid that the signal would overload the amplifier's input stage. [1] Today, overdriving the input is considered one of the key features of a treble booster.
