Product Description

It's back - the incomparable overdrive pedal that's been described as the Holy Grail of Tube screamers. The TS808 reissue features the same famous standout square footswitch of the original and the even more famous warm tones of the JRC4558 chip used in most of the original TS808's. Ignore any over-the-counter lookalikes. If your tone is suffering from a lack of real warmth, the TS808 is the real, non-generic prescription.

Better than I expected
So I've had the TS9 on my board for over 25 years. I didn't believe that the extra $ for the 808 could be worth it. And I loved my TS9 anyway, so why go changing? I read a bunch of reviews, I watched a few videos comparing different editions of the tube screamer, and the consensus seemed to be that the difference is subtle. Well, I got curious and took the bait And I'm So Glad I Did. Subtle difference? Not to my ear. The 808 is so much warmer and smoother. It's got a rich tone that I'm now truly in love with. Oh, my #1 axe is an American Standard strat that I modded with Texas Special pups. And it loves the 808 as much as I do.
