Here's a TS808 Tubescreamer reissue in excellent shape that I have upgraded to original 1980 specs. Includes a 2.1mm to 1/8" power jack adapter. This newer version came stock with a reissue IC chip that was not the same as the originals. I changed out the crappy clipping diodes for NOS 1S1588 blue stripe diodes - these were used in some of the very early 808's. I also replaced the output filtering cap with a Nichicon Muse bi-polar cap. Finally I removed that IC chip, the downside of these remakes, and installed a socket. I put in an NOS 1975 Raytheon RC4558 (with date code) chip for that original tone. The RC4558 chip was also used in some of the earliest TS808 pedals. Really nice overdrive that never gets harsh or distortion-y. Lots of overdrive crunch while retaining stunning clarity, and really shines when pushing an over-driven tube amp.
