IBANEZ TS-808 TUBE SCREAMER

Offered for sale is this very early Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal in excellent working order and superb cosmetic condition.

This particular pedal dates from c1980 and it sounds every bit as good as a vintage Tube Screamer should. It's in great condition with minor chips/scratches to paintwork and completely original internally. The chip is an RC4558P on the early Maxon 'A' board; it has the chrome power supply nut, ®logo and dash in the TS-808, and is a low serial number #107***.

Everything works as it should - no scratchy pots or dodgy jack sockets (it is always possible that some crackle may develop over time when not used - this should disappear with a couple of turns of the pot - this pedal is currently crackle-free).

These pedals are legendary for their great tone, and were famously used by Stevie Ray Vaughan as part of his signature sound - also by Joe Bonamassa amongst many others. The reissue pedals are ok, but the original vintage pedals sound really great - creamy & warm - especially when driving a valve amp.

It ships with a new Duracell Industrial battery installed so it's ready to play.
