I put it in the crunch area of distortion because of what I see it used for, but you are completely correct. Tube screamers are mostly for blues and old rock, but are also likewise good for putting out a unique crunch sound with the right settings- by no means is it a "heavy crunch". Thanks for the interest, I added a little more information in that paragraph about it. You’re correct, actually.

Thanks for breaking this down. With all the different types it can get confusing. Just one comment, though: I think the Ibanez TS( (and clones of it) are more of a classic overdrive that creates distorion by pushing the signal (or "overdriving" it). I wouldn't really classyfy it as a "crunch" distortion. I actually think the Boss DS-1 is more of a crunch distortion than the tube screamers. Tubescreamers are used a lot by blues and rock players (SRV, Trey Anastasio, Van Halen, just to name a few off the top of my head). Just my $.02, but i could be mistaken. Hey Zac,
