This green beast is a classic - not to mention a modern pedalboard staple. The original Tube Screamer propelled into fame when Stevie Ray Vaughan used it to craft his signature tone. Today, those original TS808 Tube Screamers go for serious coin on the collector's market, but with this reissue, you can get those same sought-after tones, without breaking the bank. Push your amp, round out your tone: load up with the Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer.

Lives up to its reputation!

Firstly, the customer service one gets from Sweetwater is second to none. Wether shopping online or walking into a store, this level of customer service no longer exists.
The Tube Screamer is a great pedal for getting that boost in the mix, with or without added distortion.
On a clean channel it boosts the midrange perfectly. Great addition to any board.

Game changer

So I have both the original and the reissue.I'm pretty pleased with the reissue but I'm not really happy about the price. Guess since the original was hard to find, Ibanez decided it was gold, or at least worth that much. Definitely pushes my 6505II over the edge.

Lassoing the Beast

This my first time using one of these little green boxes and I have to say I am impressed. I have 50 watt tube amp that can be a little on the messy side with its preamp channel. It gets muddy and and at times harsh with its highs. If I were able to open it up it would be a brown tone beast. But apartment living stifles that. This little beauty wrangles the beast and tames it. The lows get raunchy but not muddy. The highs scream without being harsh. I have two kit guitars both with upgraded electronics. On strat with Dimarzio and Lindy Fralin's and a 335 with overwound PAFs both guitars love this pedal. The Dimarzio is a flame thrower and the PAFs are tone monsters through this pedal. The sound is compressed, tight and sonic. With plenty of harmonics allowed through to howl if you need it. I get it now, this pedal lassoes the beast.

This was a gift for my son. He digs the sounds it produces. He'll probably use it in his next gig.
