Ibanez TS-808 Reissue Tube Screamer
It’s back…..the incomparable Ibanez Overdrive pedal that vintage gear hounds are always hoping to find. And if you do want to get hold of an original TS-808, expect to pay in the region of $400 and upwards…that’s if you can find one!
The legendary Tube Screamer is probably both the most-used and most-copied of all overdrive pedals. It is famous for its juicy midrange and natural, tube-like breakup, which works great in conjunction with a decent tube amp set just loud enough to be on the edge of distortion itself…and booted slightly over the edge when a Tube Screamer is kicked in.
If your tone is suffering from a lack of real warmth, the Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer is the real, non-generic prescription. Each JRC4558D opamp is tested and only those meeting the optimum performance standards are selected for use in the TS-808 Tube Screamer Reissue.
The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer reissue features the same famous square footswitch, bright green enclosure and the warm tones of the JRC4558D opamp used in most of the original TS-808s.

Overdrive
Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.
The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
Screamer
A Screamer pedal, often referred to as a Tube Screamer, is a type of overdrive pedal known for its ability to add warmth, mid-range boost, and a smooth, bluesy distortion. The most iconic of these is the Ibanez Tube Screamer, which has become a staple for guitarists seeking that classic overdrive sound. The “screamer” effect is typically characterised by its ability to push an amp into natural distortion while maintaining clarity and articulation, making it a favourite for everything from rock and blues to metal.
Screamer pedals generally offer mild to medium overdrive with a prominent mid-range emphasis that cuts through a mix. This makes them popular for solos or when a musician wants to boost their tone without overwhelming the natural sound of their instrument. Various versions, like the Maxon OD-808 and JHS Bonsai, have expanded on the original design, offering more tonal flexibility and options for modern players while still keeping the core “screamer” character intact.
Tube
A tube pedal incorporates vacuum tube (valve) technology to deliver the warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich tone that many guitarists associate with classic valve amplifiers. Unlike solid-state or digital effects, tube-driven pedals provide natural compression, smooth breakup, and responsive touch sensitivity, making them a popular choice for overdrive, distortion, and preamp pedals.
Brands like Effectrode, Electro-Harmonix, and Victory produce high-quality tube pedals that enhance a player’s sound with real valve character. Whether used as a boost, preamp, or full-fledged overdrive, tube pedals add an organic warmth and depth that digital emulations often struggle to replicate, making them a prized addition to any serious guitarist’s rig.
