Reengineered for ultimate tone—the handwired Tube Screamer overdrive pedal.
The Ibanez TS808HW Handwired Tube Screamer V2 overdrive effects pedal provides you with the ultimate Tube Screamer experience. Completely handwired on turret boards, this pedal allows you to achieve the Tube Screamer's legendary transparent and midrange-focused overdrive tone. After rigorous testing, Ibanez concluded the JRC NJM4558 op-amp was essential to reproduce the classic Tube Screamer sound. High-end components like Mogami OFC cables further enhance the benefits of the handwired design. An added boost increases the maximum output level, providing a wider range of overdrive sounds. The iconic enclosure has been updated with a high-end appearance while keeping the traditional shape. For discerning guitarists seeking the pinnacle of Tube Screamer tone, the TS808HW was designed for you.
Handwired for Premium Tone
Unlike typical printed circuitboard construction, the TS808HW's handwired turret board design provides superior connectivity for the highest signal integrity. The carefully selected components are meticulously soldered by expert technicians to exacting standards. The result is an overdrive pedal with exceptional clarity, touch sensitivity and responsiveness. When you plug in your guitar, you'll immediately notice the TS808HW's premium handwired tone.
The Heart of the Tube Screamer Sound
After extensive research, Ibanez chose the JRC NJM4558 op-amp to achieve the Tube Screamer's signature midrange overdrive tone. This op-amp is at the heart of the circuit and when combined with the handwired design, it produces the warm, natural overdrive sound Tube Screamer pedals are known for. Whether you want a subtle breakup or saturated overdrive, the TS808HW delivers the tone you need.
Wider Range of Overdrive Sounds
While remaining faithful to the Tube Screamer's transparent tone, the TS808HW provides more overdrive versatility. Ibanez added a boost to the final stage of the circuit, increasing the maximum output level by 6 decibels. This additional boost opens up a wider range of overdrive textures from light crunch to fully saturated distortion. Using the Drive, Tone and Level controls, you can fine-tune the TS808HW to your perfect overdrive tone.
