Ibanez TS808 | Tube Screamer Overdrive Pro

The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer Overdrive Pro is a true icon in the world of guitar effects, cherished by tone purists and blues legends alike, including the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Original vintage models have become prized collectors’ items, with prices easily exceeding £1,000, assuming you can even track one down!

Iconic Overdrive Pedal

Few pedals have had the lasting impact of the TS808 Tube Screamer. Often hailed as the most emulated overdrive of all time, it’s famed for delivering a beautifully rich midrange and a smooth, valve-style overdrive. When paired with a quality valve amp set near the point of breakup, the Tube Screamer pushes your tone into sweet saturation, ideal for lead work or giving rhythm parts extra character.

Add Classic Warmth to Your Tone

Its warm, responsive overdrive enhances your sound without sacrificing clarity. At the heart of the TS808 lies the carefully selected JRC4558D op-amp, rigorously tested to meet Ibanez’s exacting standards, ensuring that each unit captures the unmistakable character of the original.

Authentic Vintage Aesthetic

Designed to pay tribute to its legendary predecessor, the modern Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer features the instantly recognisable bright green enclosure and square footswitch. It doesn’t just look the part, it delivers the same soul-stirring overdrive tones that made the original a staple on countless pedalboards.
