Ibanez

Built with the pro musician in mind.

The Ibanez Tube Screamer, in its many versions and forms, can be found on pedal boards across the globe. Its warm overdrive is a sound many players, from advanced to beginner, can't be without. The hand-wired deluxe TS808HW Tube Screamer offers even more capability and was built with the pro musician in mind.

Encased in a special, heavy-duty metal box, the TS808HW pedal is hand-wired with select JRC4558D IC chips (same as the revered and often-imitated TS808) and uses Japanese high-end MOGAMI OEC cable (AWG21). Equipped with true bypass, this Tube Screamer sends pure guitar excitement to your amplifier with no tonal loss whatsoever. This is, by far, the most evolved Tube Screamer pedal Ibanez has ever created.

  • Completely hand-wired
  • Select JRC4558D IC chip

ts808

| Review By: David Thompson | 1 month, 1 week ago

1 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

The warm tone on this pedal is fantastic.

Quality:

Everytime I hit the switch there was a loud clicking that you can hear through my amplifier..very noticable and very poor quality. I have owned both the ts808 RI and the ts 808hw and am returning this pedal for the RI.

Value:

Not worth the money when makes a LOUD clicking sound every time you switch to distortion.

Overall:

Very unsatisfied!

Worth Every Penny!

| Review By: David Jefferys | 5 months, 1 week ago

2 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

It can't get much simpler than this. Three controls (Overdrive, Tone and Level) and you really don't need a manual to understand how to use them. I like to match the effect level with the volume level of my amp on a clean setting.

Quality:

It's seems to be put together to last, I just haven't owned it long enough to give this a fair rating.

Value:

At the price it is a little pricey but I do believe you get what you pay for.  When you compare the quality and sound of this pedal to the originals you definitely get your monies worth.

Overall:

I've been playing for 20 + years and have spent a lot of time playing different distortion and overdrive pedals. I used an Ibanez TS9 for the past 5 years and just felt like something was lacking from my sound. I tried the Plexitone, TS808RI, Boss DS-1 and Marshal Guv'nr to name a few. Nothing came even close to the sounds I get from this pedal. I play a Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro through a Fender Deluxe Reverb RI. This pedal gives me the overdrive I've had in my head. Do yourself a favor and pick up this pedal, you will not be disappointed.

TS808HW

| Review By: TMoore | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

4 people out of 4 found this review helpful

Features:

Everything you need and nothing more.

Quality:

Built like a tank.

Value:

For a hand wired pedal that was already great... yes, it's worth it.

Overall:

I kept reading that the original TS808 was THE box of choice for SRV, Billy Gibbons and others I admired, so it was on my short list to buy someday when I could afford it. Now I have it and I can tell you it's worth every penny. You can start with a seemingly transparent sound and add in that little extra bite that makes your guitar sound special, then dial in the power all the way to scream. The sustain can be amazing, even at very lower volumes. It all depends on how you set it.

 

I would have been happy to get the regular version, but when I discovered there was a hand wired version I spent the extra money to get that because my guitar deserves it. SO happy I did.

Great Sounding Tube Screamer

Overall:
I own a TS9, TS808 reissue,as well as numerous other pedals (Fulltone, Klon Centaur, ZVex,to name a few. To my ears, the TS808HW sounds the best for my style of music (blues and classic rock). All my guitars sound great with this pedal(Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, Hamer Special,and my trusty old Danelectro. Play thru a Blues Junior NOS, Fender Deluxe Reverb, or Carr Mercury. If you like the Tube Screamer sound, you owe it to yourself to try the TS808HW. A bit pricey, but built like a tank and worth the money, in my opinion.
