The Ibanez TM5 Thrashmetal is a distortion pedal designed to emulate the sound of an overdriven British stack amplifier. Offering a rough edge distortion, it can provide a cleanish boost with low drive settings or full-on thrash metal tones at higher settings.
Guitarists found the TM5 to provide a great drive, particularly through darker sounding amplifiers. They noted its trebly character and a bit of noise, enjoying its versatility from clean boost to full-on thrash.
