The legendary overdrive pedal from Ibanez gets a new look for its 45th birthday and literally shines in dark blue glitter. Since the debut of the first TS808 in 1979, the green overdrive pedal has become a true icon on all pedalboards around the world and, even after more than four decades, still has a place on modern pedalboard landscapes in 2024. Ibanez is celebrating the 45th birthday of the TS808 with a beautiful limited edition that is definitely something to be proud of!
New look, same overdrive energy
Want warm crunch, bluesy overdrive or a boost? 45 years ago, the Tube Screamer set the milestone for a distortion pedal that emulates the warmth of a classic tube and can be used in a variety of ways. It's no coincidence that the Tube Screamer has been used by greats such as Carlos Santana, Keith Richards and Kirk Hammett, meaning that it has been used in all genres over the last few decades. Although the simple design is limited to just three controls, with which overdrive, tone and volume can be regulated, the saturation-rich distortion is still suitable for light clean boosts, right through to classic overdrive - its use as a pure boost pedal is also ideal for coloring expressive lead solos, for example.
