TS808 : Much more than SRV sound
I bought the pedal mainly for blues played through single coils without knowing the versatility of the sounds coming out of this box.
I am running the TS808 into a modified Blackface Twin (I had a master volume added so that I can get the tubes cooking without blowing my head off).
My application:
Tele: - neck pickup makes that blues sound everyone is chasing and does it effortlessly, just plug and play.
- bridge pickup does rock is you dime the drive and and 60's clean break-up at the other end.
LP: - it just turns it into a dream rock machine.
PRS CE24: - the higher output 8515 PUPs sound awesome with this pedal. I am using the coil tap more than ever as the TS808 just makes the differences more noticeable (in a good way).
Cons: - on/bypass switch doesn't "click" when pressed
- the LED is barely visible when the pedal is ON
It stacks very well with other overdrive pedals. I have a Klon type pedal in front of it and when I have both on they create a very pleasing distortion sound.
My final thought: it makes me play differently in a positive way. It helped me come up with new ideas, encourages me to hit the guitar harder and just gives me an overall satisfactory feeling. GET ONE!
