Sounds similar to reasoning behind Ibanez tube screamers in that they were affordable so everyone used them and they found their way onto many records. As a result we have been influenced to associate that sound with those great recordings and covet the tube screamer. In actuality, the tube screamer chip is cheap and by today's standards, garbage. But, we've been conditioned to like the aesthetic of the tube screamer and if there were some other pedal used instead we would find that pedal on lots of records too.
