Ibanez TS808

Jhs bonsai is more versatile

A classic but . . .

A classic but . . . I think these have been improved upon by several effect manufactures. Expensive and the jack sockets seemed quite loose. Try a few options and watch a few youtube reviews maybe, before you go for this pedal.

One of the best for metal

Every metal guitarist need this. Awesome

Classic option that should be in the shelf of every guitarist

Good overall overdrive pedal. This is how it all started in the end. I have used this pedal with Marshalls and Fender type tube amps. Goes always on my pedal board. I personally prefer this over the later versions of tube screamers when it comes to more 70's sound. Probably not the best pedal for someone playing metal, but the key of TS808 is that it can be always chained with other pedals easily. It really can be used as an extra magics everywhere.

The one and only tube sreamer

It's the one, the classic, the original. It does one thing and it's the best in it. Rock? you got it . Funk? why not. Blues? Absolutely. Simple controls perfect overdrive sound. Works best with tele and Les Paul. Adapter for power supply is in the box!!

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!

Excellent

The best Overdive pedal on the marked.

Just purchase this product and you will be blessed.

Superb sound

Solid

Absolutely solid pedal. Check out demos on youtube! Definitely a must for any board!

Absolutely amazing but...

incredible but the on/off switch could be better, especially for 200¤

Awesome distortion pedal no wonder it's a favorite. I've always struggled with finding a good dist.pedal but not anymore. I totally recommend this one.
