Pros

The ts808hw hits the sweet spot that i imagine in my mind when i think about overdrive. I'm not the most professional musician/audio engineer around, but this one sounds exactly like my original one. You won’t want to put your guitar down.

What is just important is how it feels when you crank up the amp. It's about how it interacts with the amp's power tubes and transformer. Add true bypass and the player has the prefect connection.



Cons

The pedal is expensive. When it arrives, it didn't even work. Your flagship handwound pedal gets to me not even functional?

It works wonders with my friedman be100 and with the xotic rc booster v2 in front of it and an ep booster behind it.


My experience is with the sound of this pedal while soloing.

    I used to have an original vintage tube screamer but a insert bad word here thief took it from me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The most difficult sound to make is where the guitar is just on the edge of distortion and the sound is sweet rather than sour and annoying


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Again the sound should be compelling rather than obnoxious


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is why an original tube screamer is so highly regarded


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Dont let people like keeley and analog man charge you a fortune to have only some of these modifications done to your tube screamer because they dont go to the great lengths that ibanez has gone to to finally be able to have the best overdrive pedal made


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Do not trust your pushed blues tone your overdrive tone or your high gain tone to the other guys get it from the source


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ibanez hasnt paid me a dime for this review im just tired of hearing people state that the maxon pedal is better


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It isnt i tried every single on of their offerings and they were built cheaply and simply didnt have the quality components that you will find in this pedal or most of the other ibanez tube screamer options
