The TS808-TMB is the next step in the endless evolution of the legendary 808 circuit that Susumu Tamura designed in 1979.
One of the more common requests amongst 808 mods is the desire for more output level to push an amp harder or simply to be heard better in a large, loud ensemble setting.
Yet the obvious component substitutions that would allow for more output level can also increase the saturation of the clipping diodes, or alter the cut-off frequencies of the pedal, effectively masking the signature “808” tone.
Tamura-san has analyzed this issue in great detail, and as a result has developed the TS808-TMB mod.
This ingenious mod “piggybacks” a second JRC4558 op amp onto the “magic” IC found in the standard Tamura-mod 808. This additional amplifier stage offers a +6 dB output level boost over a standard TS808.
Since this second amplifier stage is placed after the main circuit, there is zero alteration to the basic tone or gain structure of the pedal.
What you get are all the incredible tones of the TS808-TM, just LOUDER.
+6 dB louder, to be precise—more than enough to pummel the input of any amp or jump out over a blaring band.
Due to the complex nature of the TMB mod, we are only offering these units in limited quantities.
