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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
WIth that said, I spent a lot of time reading reviews from people who knock and praise this pedal.
This pedal deliver phenomenal overdrive (think of overdriving a tube amp with tube rectifier). it's style of clipping gives a more vintage and warm feel of OD, especially compared to a boss sd-1
When compared to a boss bd-2 it may sound less warm but not to fear but pedal is plenty warm and the "less warmth" is an illusion. I've found that this "less warm" feeling is not really the warm of the pedal rather the EQ. Just twist into the "+" mode and your problem is solved.
Overall, this is a nice, sturdy, warm overdrive. I am personally glad i purchased over a TS9 or bd-2. I naturally chose it over a ts-808 because of price but i also because i'm not a huge fan of the sound of a ts-808.
hope this helps.
