Tube Screamer Designer Susumu Tamura's Ultimate Overdrive: the TWA Source Code

Legendary engineer Susumu Tamura, the creator of the original Tube Screamer, sits down with us to tell the full story behind his newest design: TWA Source Code—a next-generation TS-style overdrive refined from decades of experience and the analysis of nearly 100 vintage units. In this interview, Tamura walks through the origins of the TS808, why early units vary so much, and how modern guitars and amps inspired him to push the classic circuit further. TWA Source Code keeps the expressive feel players love, while adding improved harmonic behavior, richer pick dynamics, and a new Bite control for dialing in any pickup configuration. Watch to hear how the legendary Tube Screamer designer reimagined the overdrive he created 45 years ago—and how Source Code carries that legacy forward.
