The Ibanez Tube Screamer
Could this be the Holy Grail of Tube Screamers? The Ibanez TS808 Vintage Tube Screamer Reissue is now available due to popular demand. This is the overdrive pedal that vintage gear hunters are always hoping to find. The 2004 TS808 reissue features the same famous square footswitch and the warm tones of the JRC4558 chip used in most of the original TS808s.
So if you struggling to find that perfect vintage overdriven tone then this is the pedal for you. Prices are around $170.
Do check out the ICE9 and the Hardwire OD before you continue to live in the past with the green meanies. There is better tech which does what this old circuit can do and more.
I think your probably right Paul, this is one for enthusiasts and collectors really.
This is a great sounding pedal. It kicks most amps into gear. Tap it into an amp on the edge of breakup and it sounds amazing!
