Originally released in the late 1970s, Ibanez's Tube Screamer is ubiquitous among guitar players — it's easily among the most popular stompboxes in the world. The limited-edition TS808 45th-anniversary Tube Screamer commemorates the birthday of this pedalboard staple. This reissue includes the renowned JRC4558D IC chip alongside the world-famous analog Tube Screamer circuit, and features traditional Overdrive, Level, and Tone controls. But most importantly, it possesses its ancestor's thick, overdriven tube-style tone. Made in Japan, the TS808 45th-anniversary Tube Screamer is adorned with an eye-catching sapphire sparkle-painted finish.

The TS808 Tube Screamer — a pedalboard staple

If you've ever scoped out a pro pedalboard, then you've probably spotted the unmistakable TS808 Tube Screamer lurking in the signal chain. The original Tube Screamer propelled into fame when Stevie Ray Vaughan used it to craft his signature tone. Since then, countless renowned guitarists have benefitted from the TS808's smooth, overdriven tone. 

Same chip and analog circuit as the original

Much of what makes the original Ibanez TS808 so smooth, sweet, and full is the JRC4558D IC chip that Ibanez spec’d it out with. Fortunately, Ibanez put a re-issue JRC4558D IC chip alongside the world-famous Tube Screamer analog circuit into the TS808 45th-anniversary Tube Screamer. The end result? It sounds amazing. Blues to jazz to rock to anything else, you'll get all of that classic warmth with this limited-edition TS808.
