This is a real tasty overdrive. A solid overdrive and boost that stands out amongst other Guitar Pedals on the menu. Ibanez make great Guitar Pedals, so If you like overdrive, then a Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer Hand Wired is the perfect overdrive to order in. The Ibanez TS808 Hand Wired is a flagship take on the legendary Tube Screamer overdrive with extra versatility thanks to its design and high-end components. Capable of everything from light bluesy overdrive that helps chords or solos pop out of the mix to a powerful midrange boost for high-gain metal. The sound of the TS808 is undeniable making it a favourite of players from John Mayer and Stevie Ray Vaughan all the way to Kirk Hammett and Mick Thomson. The TS808 Hand Wired utilises the same central JRC NJM4558 op-amp that made the original vintage Tube Screamers so sought after with the addition of Mogami-designed oxygen-free cables for better signal fidelity and an extra 6 dB gain boost to set it apart from the standard model. This expands the familiar sound of the classic overdrive to get more distorted if you want that effect but also far more dynamic.

Boost

A boost pedal does one simple thing brilliantly — it makes your signal louder, stronger, and more alive. Whether you’re pushing a valve amp into natural breakup, lifting a solo above the band, or adding a touch more presence to your core tone, a clean boost gives you extra headroom without changing your character.

Use it at the front of your chain to drive other pedals harder, or after your gain stages to raise volume without adding distortion. Subtle or powerful, transparent or slightly coloured, a boost is one of the most useful tools on any pedalboard — small box, big difference.

Guitar Pedals

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.
