Originally released in the late 1970s, the Ibanez Tube Screamer is ubiquitous among guitar players — it’s easily one of the most popular stompboxes in the world. The limited-edition TS808 40th Anniversary Tube Screamer commemorates the birthday of this pedalboard staple. This TS808 is loaded with the same chip and analog circuitry as the original, along with its familiar control set. But most importantly, it possesses its ancestor’s thick, overdriven tube-style tone. Made in Japan, the TS808 40th Anniversary Tube Screamer is adorned with an eye-catching ruby red sparkle painted finish.
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 benefited from the TS808’s smooth, full tone — in the style of overdriven tubes. So grab the limited-edition TS808 40th Anniversary Tube Screamer, and join the ranks of great guitarists who swear by the TS808.
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.

Blues to jazz to rock to anything else, you'll get all of that classic warmth with this limited-edition TS808.
Modeling and boutique pedal makers have copied the smooth and full tone of this pedal countless times. Now you can have Ibanez's faithful reissue at a price that doesn't break the bank. The reissue features the same JRC4558D IC chip and analog circuitry as the original. Controls include overdrive, level, and tone controls.
