Youve changed.What, how and where youre playing is different than what, how and where people were playing 50 years agoor even last year. Thats why Ibanez represents change. Some players and some companies play it safe and rest on what they did in the past. Ibanez and Ibanez players look forward and take risks. Which is why our 2005 Ibanez catalog has changed. Weve gone a little upscale. This catalog is larger than anything weve ever done before. Thats because our 2005 Ibanez lineup of guitars, basses, ampliers and effects is larger and more varied than anything weve ever done before. We think that says something. All the new gear simply wouldnt t in an ordinary catalog. And an ordinary catalog simply wouldnt do justice to our expanded line of Prestige guitars and basses. On the other hand an ordinary catalog wouldnt do justice to the expanded lineup of what made Ibanez famous: great sounding, high quality, easy playing, AFFORDABLE instruments for everyone from the beginner to the working pro. That hasnt changed. It never will. One huge reason Ibanez represents change is because we constantly watch what our artists are doing and listen to what theyre thinking and playing. Thats not as serious as it sounds. A lot of times its a whole lot of fun. Which is why this catalog not only goes upscale, it goes backstage. So you can share in some of the fun. Some of our artists have obliged us by giving us their own snapshots of life on the road. You can compare them to your own experiences or get prepared for your own rst tours. Or you may even decide, you know, come to think of it, Id rather just play at home. Thats okay. As long as you keep playing. Because thats another thing that should never change.

For over 18 years, Ibanez RG guitars with Edge double-locking systems have been the metal guitar for the working playereven for players who dont use the tremolo. Because no matter how insane or brutal it getsor you getIbanez locking systems will never let things get completely out of hand. However, increasing numbers of hard rock players told us they wanted RGs with a xed bridge. More is a word we understand, and the 2005 RG lineup features more hardtail RGs than ever before.

24-fret, thin, at and fast Wizard necks. Pickup and pickup placement provide the hard-edged, cutting tone needed for metal and hard rock. RGT models feature neck-thru construction for effortless upper fret access, increased stability and long sustain. 2005 RG300 Series models have been upgraded with U.S.-designed Infinity III and IV pickups, which feature more bite and chunk, and adjustable pole pieces for balanced string output. New Edge III double-locking trem offers increased durability and stability. The Edge III has the original classic Edge feel but with a lower-prole saddle for increased comfort.

Ibanez Artist guitars offer the full, meaty sound of the other famous mahogany classic, but at a better price and with better hardware. 2005 Artists feature the original body size and neck for that great 70s sound and feel. The Jet Kings bring back the funky vibe of the pastwith a lot more tonal versatility and without the bad tuning. The JTK1 is for players who want a lighter axe with a thinner neck. The JTK2 is for players who want a big mahogany body with a thicker neck. The Destroyers name says pretty much everything that needs to be said. For the player for whom too much mahogany tone is not enough. Ibanez now features two versions of the original Iceman design, the set-neck IC400 and the boltneck IC200. The new ICX is a modernized, compact version of the Iceman. The 2005 ICX, the ICX220, gets something the original Icemans didnt have, a 24-fret neck as does the RVX220, an entirely new take on the classic V theme.

The GB10 debuted in Chicago on June 11, 1977. Our longest running artist signature model. Floating pickups, a thicker top and a smaller body reject feedback. Pure jazz tone even at rock and roll volumes. GB200 features full-sized, full-acoustic body and standard pickup installation for more traditional jazz gigs.

ACT Tremolo

The rst knife-edge tremolo designed for semi-acoustic guitar. The ACT eliminates the tremolo cavity on the back of the guitartheres less space used so theres more tone. Shorter springs use less vibrating room and contribute to a stiffer arm response. Two ways to install the springs offer choice in string and arm tension. And on top of all that the ACT is smooth to the touch and string changes are easy.

Kumogara

Artcore AWD necks feature a striking cloud design inlay we call Kumogara. Similar patterns are found on traditional Japanese ceramics and are now popular in modern Japanese tattoo artwhich makes Kumogara the right choice for a guitar that embodies both tradition and at-out rock and roll.

So instead of spending time wondering what it would be like to be on stage, you could be looking out at the audience.*In entirely imaginary interviews conducted across the United States.

Gary Willis is the unchallenged name in 5-string fretless playing and 5-string fretless basses. 2-band EQ with bypass switch (active/passive) matches any kind of amplication. Curved pickup provides separate coils for precise string balance. Finger-rest/ramp designed by Gary Willis renes right hand technique and prevents players from digging into the strings (the worst thing you can do on a fretless). Sure Grip tuning knobs inspired by Gary Willis allow fast restringing and precise ne-tuning even during the heat of a gig.

Vintage is not spoken on these pages. Ibanez amps are specd and voiced for today, tomorrow and beyond. Our combination of tonally versatile active eqs, maximum features for minimum bucks, and speakers specically voiced for each amp continues to win accolades from Guitar World, GuitarOne and Guitar Player Magazines (including an Editors Pick for our TB100 half-stack). Thats why Ibanez continues to be the fastest growing line of amplication.

Co-Axial Speaker System

79

Coaxial speakers on the SW20 and SW35 feature a tweeter mounted in the center of the speakers pole piece. This design avoids having a particular hot spot or sweet spot as often found in separate speaker/tweeter setups and provides the full natural sound needed for acoustic guitar reproduction. The SW20 features a PJ804C coaxial speaker (20wrms/40wmax input rating). The SW35 is equipped with the PJ1004C (40wrms/80w max input rating).

Limiters

All Sound Wave series bass ampliers are equipped with internal limiter circuitry. Extremely natural limiting minimizes distortion and keeps the low-end smooth and punchy.

Cab Construction

SW35, SW65 and SW100 feature tilt-back design which provides for better monitoring while providing the larger cabinet size needed for more volume and real, full bottom end.

AD9 analog delayDiscrete echo is one of the most dramatic effects in the music industry. Bulky tape and spinning disk units have given way to the convenience and reliability of solid state delays. The AD9 Analog Delay uses a compander with pre- and de-emphasis for an exceptionally clean delay. The Delay Time control adjusts the delay time and the Delay Level control allows the artist to adjust the mix between dry and delayed signals. The Repeat control permits the number of repeats to be controlled without runaway. Two outputs enable the dry and delayed signals to be separately routed for dramatic special movement. The quality and features of the AD9 Analog Delay make it the professionals choice. AD9 description in 1984 Ibanez Sound Effects catalog.

FL9 flanger

Flanging is a time delay effect using very short time delays mixed together with the input (dry) signal. This creates a series of peaks and notches in the signals response through the audible spectrum. When the time delay is varied, the peaks and notches move or sweep. The FL9 Flanger features an extremely quiet time delay section creating an unusually noise-free ange. The sweep and width may be changed as well as overall time delay. This allows the artist to center the anging action in a particular part of the sound. Flange intensity may be adjusted with the feedback control. The FL9 Flanger provides quality and exibility that dees comparison. FL9 description in 1984 Ibanez Sound Effects catalog.

CS9 stereo chorus

The chorus effect uses a small time delay thats varied to produce a slight pitch bend. When the delay signal is mixed with the input (dry) signal, the resultant sound moves with a rich, thick undulation. This is the effect of multiple voices playing in unison. The CS9 Stereo Chorus provides stereo outputs that add an exciting dimension of movement to the second. The sweep speed and width controls allow the artist to elicit slow wideranging sweeps or a more rapid vibrato. The CS9 Stereo Chorusthe industrys nest realization of an exciting new sound. CS9 description in 1984 Ibanez Sound Effects catalog.

Its backthe incomparable overdrive pedal thats been described as the Holy Grail of Tubescreamers. Our 2004 TS808 reissue features the same famous standout square footswitch of the original and the even more famous warm tones of the JRC4558 chip used in most of the original TS808s. Ignore any over-the-counter lookalikes. If your tone is suffering from a lack of real warmth, the TS808 is the real, non-generic prescription.

TS808 the original tubescreamer

TS9/TS9DX tubescreamers

Both our TS9 Tubescreamer reissue and TS9DX Turbo Tubescreamer feature the TA75558 chip used in most of the original TS9s with the TS9DX adding three settings for increased low-end crunch.

CF7 Chorus/Flanger

AW7 Autowah

There are autowahs. And there are autowahs. But the Tone-Lok AW7 isnt just any autowah. Its got standard wah where both the highs and lows are cut and its got a wah setting where only the highs are cut. And its got distortion. A notch lter provides the sound of a standard wah pedal left at one setting (a favorite wah pedal technique of Joe Satriani). You can even change the chain order of the effects to get different tones: either distortion to wah or wah to distortion.

The CF7 creates whooshing jet plane sounds, shimmering soundscapes and contemporary Korny chirps and blurbs. The schizo KRAZY switch lets the CF7 be a conservative Dr. Jekyll with the NORMAL mode (classic chorus and anger). Or you can turn the pedal into the proverbial Mr. Hyde...the WHACKD mode imitates the contemporary modulation sounds used by todays phattest rock bands. Its like getting four pedals in one.

DE7 Delay/Echo

Add new dimensions to your sound with the DE7 Delay/Echo pedal. Get the best of both worlds: high tech digital sounds comparable to expensive rack units or warm vintage tape echo sounds all with a simple ick of the switch. TIME, REPEAT and LEVEL controls help you dial in just the right amount of delay, while stereo outputs can be used for a more spacious sound. With a range of 30ms to 2.6 seconds, the DE7 is the only sound solution for every playing situation.

PD7 Phat-Hed Bass Overdrive

SB7 Synthesizer Bass

If youre looking for new tones or youre still smoldering with resentment against synth bass keyboard players, the SB7 is the ticket. Youve got real time feelin other words no annoying tracking errors and delays. You can even play chords.

Why let guitarists rule the stage? Loaded with growling low-end distortion, the PD7 levels the playing eld for the rock bassist. The PD7 is armed with three pre-amp style voicings and an attack control switch, which accents the amount of harmonic content in your sound. With DRIVE, LO, HI, and LEVEL knobs, dialing in a thunderous bass sound has never been easier.

PH7 Phaser

PM7 Phase Modulator

If youve gone through one phase after another, maybe its time for the nal phase. The PM7 Phase Modulator offers three types of waveforms to give you everything from classic phaser to DJ effects to toy ray gun sounds. Since good things come in threes, the PM7 also has three phase stages: vintage, deep and dry, and deep and pronounced. With some minor tweaking, the PM7 goes from traditional to 21st century and beyond.

Designed to emulate the effect of a rotating speaker, the PH7 has a switchable phase circuit capable of either four or eight stages of smooth phasing. With these two very different tonal modes, you can go from a subtle shimmer to all out 70s Lets Get Funky phasing.

FZ7 Fuzz

TS7 Tubescreamer

Battery Compartment

Tone-Lok effects feature convenient top-loading, fast-access battery compartments. Pedals dont need to be removed from effects boards when its time to change the battery.

The Tubescreamer isnt just a stompbox, its an institution. Our latest generation Tubescreamer, the TS7, is no exception. With the Tubescreamers classic subtle-butsmooth overdrive, the TS7 expands the expressiveness of your guitar while maintaining its tonal integrity. Tone adjustments are provided by the classic three knob conguration with an added hot switch for an extra gain boost.

Far out! A complete 60s ashback with none of the drawbacks, the FZ7 is the ultimate in psychedelic fuzz. With the FZ7s tone, drive, and level controls, its never been easier to get the right retro tones. You can even engage the DAMAGE switch for that ratty, broken speaker sound. Yeah, baby, yeah!! Dial in, tune up, drop down or whatever turns you on.

DS7 Distortion

The most versatile Ibanez distortion pedal ever, capable of producing a wide range of smooth, dynamic overdrive tones. From a subtle tonal nudge to walloping rock n roll crunch, the DS7 delivers days of sustain and gobs of gain.

SM7 Smash Box

The Smashbox is the most aggressive weapon in the Tone-Lok distortion arsenal. Armed with obscene amounts of gain, tight low end, and searing highs, the Smashbox is THE heavy rock sound for the contemporary guitarist. Special VOID noise gate and EDGE (sharp/smooth) controls let you handle anything from all-out shred to machine-gun metal riffs and rhythms.

LF7 Lo Fi

The rst dedicated lter pedal for the guitar, the LF7s voltage controlled analog high and low pass lters allow you to emulate transistor radio and megaphone type sounds. Best used at the end of a signal chain in combination with other pedals, this ticking time bomb creates wide soundscapes of far out tones that previously required a massive rack of analog electronics. The Lo Fi also performs equally well with vocals, drum machines or in any mix-down context.
