Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer Reissue Overdrive

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer Reissue is a recreation of a true classic. This simple yet versatile overdrive pedal can be used to add a bit of bite and spice to clean sounds and tighten up distorted tones. It can be left on as part of your overall electric sound or used as a boost for soloing or rhythm parts that require a bit of grit.

The original Tubescreamer was designed to mimic the sound of a tube amplifier, like many classic vintage pieces of equipment. It has gone on to have its very own signature sound that players love. This new Ibanez pedal is an accurate recreation of the most desirable incarnation of the Tubescreamer. The original TS808 was considered to be creamier, smoother and more subtle than later versions. The Tubescreamer has been copied many times over the years and thanks to this stunning recreation, Ibanez are giving you access to that very 70s sound without having to pay vintage prices.

Some notable Tubescreamer players include The Edge, Noel Gallagher, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, Gary Moore and Steve Vai.
