Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer Overdrive

The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer, in its many versions and forms, can be found on pedal boards in every corner of the globe, on arena stages, in small studios, and bedrooms. Its warm overdrive is a sound many players, from advanced to beginner, could never do without.

Modeling and boutique pedal makers have copied the smooth and full tone of this pedal countless times. Now you can have Ibanez’s faithful reissue at a price that doesn’t break the bank unlike the originals out there. The reissue includes the JRC 4558D IC chip and analog circuitry, and features traditional overdrive, level, and tone controls.

Whilst the TS808 has historically set itself out as a great blues pedal it has also (due in no small part to being both a creamy amp-like overdrive, and superbly enriching boost that can go from ‘ a bit of break-up’, into ‘amp’s gone crazy’ levels), carved out a home on many modern metal players pedalboards. It’s that flexible.

Place it in the front of a high gain amp, and this pedal can push the level into saturation heaven. Find the sweet spot and it’ll add grit and bite and a huge rhythm tone.
