The Scream is an analog modeled stomp box distortion plug-in based on the classic green Tube Screamer pedal. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, but optimised to run fast, and features a fully scalable user interface.

The Scream is a full component model of the original, with Boyle macro modelled op-amps, and you can edit all component values in the circuit to customise your tone. Choose LEDs or Germanium diodes to create asymmetric clipping combinations, chain any number of diodes in series or even bypass them altogether and let the op-amp do the clipping - the possibilities are endless.

The Scream

Reviewed By Kirkwood West [all]
July 10th, 2026
Version reviewed: 1.2.8 on Mac

The Scream goes far beyond a typical Tube Screamer emulation. The circuit modeling is insanely detailed.

You can practically circuit-bend the damn thing. Every component value can be edited, letting you completely reshape the pedal's tone and behavior. Swap diode types, build asymmetric clipping setups, stack diodes in series, bypass them entirely, or push the op-amp into clipping. The result is far more flexible than most distortion plugins or hardware pedals. It can deliver subtle warmth, aggressive saturation, or completely blown-out destruction. Crank it hard, then use the mix control to blend the dry signal back in.

Absolutely phenomenal.
