The holy grail of distortion! No matter what type of music I'm playing, this is the one pedal that never leaves my pedalboard!

Original Tube Screamer

by Benjammin from Wisconsin
 February 20, 2008
 Music Background: pro musician
This is the best overdrive pedal on the market, you can get so much tone from this box. I've used probably every distortion/overdrive pedal on the market and they all sounded kind of "fake" but this ... read more [+]pedal is the real deal. I play through a Marshall Vintage Modern 100 Watt Head and a Marshall 1960 4x12 cabinet, and this pedal makes this amp scream. I like this pedal more than using the pre amp for overdrive on my amp, it just sounds the best. The TS808 emphasizes that original tube sounding overdrive that is extremely sought after. This pedal is more expensive, but it is definately worth it. Spend the extra bucks and get this pedal, it's an investment that will keep giving back. close [-]

TS-808

When taken out of the box and opened, the circuitry is exactly the same as the reissue TS9! Further viewing revealed that other than the 4558 chip, there is nothing different from a TS9. I sent mine t... read more [+]o Robert Keeley (he confirmed my thoughts on the lack of difference in components) and for $50, he can make her exactly sound like a vintage TS808. The pedal did not sound too bad out of the box, but now, it sounds like I expected. Don't be fooled, this is a reissue TS9 in a reissue TS808 box. My 5 star rating is for the pedal AFTER shipping to Mr. Keeley. 2/5 before shipping. close [-]

Vintage Overdrive Tone

This is a great unit that gives you the vintage overdrive tone, it is different from TS9 however, this has a warmer, older tone to it. This green pedal is very quiet at the same time! a Boss pedal wou... read more [+]ld make a lot of undesirable noise when you start to turn the gain up, but TS808 will not! I like using it as a booster for solos with the amp with sone dirt, and then turn this thing up to boost up the sound. This ledgendary pedal stands strong to its name, but it is expensive however, but I'm sure if you care for tone, it'll worth the money. close [-]

Awesome & Very Musical!!

by Tom Castonzo from Chicago, IL

 Music Background: Professional Guitarist
Very responsive overdrive that does not mask the "woodiness" of my guitar. I use this unit through a Mesa Boogie Blue Angel (4X10) combo with a 1964 ES-335 and also a strat 1957 reissue. Both guitars ... read more [+]maintain their character through the TS 808. Sounds like an extension of my amp, not an ad-hoc overdrive that is slapped on top. Very pleased! close [-]
