Tribute to the Ibanez TS808 Overdrive maybe the one guitar pedal that started the path of tone quest ! SRV to Lifeson to every aspiring guitar player has had and tried an 808.
Rare overdrive/distortion pedal from the '70s faithfully recreated in a limited edition run.
Since its initial one-year run in 1979, the TS808 Tube Screamer has earned its place in the pantheon of pedals and is coveted by electric guitarists of nearly every genre. Now, 35 years and multiple variations later, Ibanez proudly celebrates the original 808’s legacy with the release of the TS808 35th, a limited edition 35th Anniversary reissue of the extremely rare 1979 Tube Screamer Narrow Box.
Faithful to the original in every detail, the TS808 35th is handcrafted in Japan (just the way they were 35 years ago), features the smaller narrow box, the Flying Fingers side graphic, the flat backplate design and, of course, the magic of the JRC4558D IC. With a limited run of only 1,500 available in the US, each pedal will be individually serialized with the serial number engraved on brushed aluminum.
With the TS808 35th you don’t just get the sustain, the complex harmonic texture and the smooth mid-range boost … you get a piece of history.
