The Ibanez Tube Screamer is one of the most influential overdrive pedals ever produced. Originally introduced in 1979, the TS808 quickly became renowned for its smooth, mid focused overdrive and natural compression, making it a favourite for pushing valve amplifiers into rich, expressive breakup. Reissued in 2004, the TS808 faithfully recreates the original circuit, delivering the same warm, dynamic response that helped establish its legendary reputation.

The TS808 has been at the heart of countless iconic guitar tones. Stevie Ray Vaughan famously relied on a Tube Screamer to drive his Fender amplifiers, creating the thick, singing blues tone heard throughout his career. More recently, Philip Sayce has continued that tradition, using the TS808 to achieve his powerful, articulate overdriven sound while showcasing the pedal's exceptional touch sensitivity and ability to respond to every nuance of his playing.

This example is a 2007 Made in Japan reissue and comes complete with its original box and paperwork, making it an excellent choice for players and collectors alike. Whether used as a primary overdrive or to push an already driven amplifier, the Ibanez TS808 remains the benchmark by which all overdrive pedals are measured. Its unmistakable character and timeless design have made it an essential part of guitar rigs for more than four decades.
