The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer has been a favorite overdrive pedal among guitarists worldwide for over 30 years. Known for its warm and creamy tone, as well as its responsiveness, this little green stomp box has become a staple in the rock genre. Now, Ibanez has taken "The Screamer" to the next level with the TS808DX.

The TS808DX is essentially two pedals in one. It features the classic TS808 Overdrive, which uses the JRC4558D IC to create its signature soft and subtle clipping sound. Additionally, it includes a boost circuit that can add up to 20db when activated. The pedal has two independent, true bypass switches, allowing you to control the Overdrive and Booster separately or together. You can choose to engage the Boost for a slight volume increase while using the Overdrive circuit, or use the Booster on its own for a clean signal boost.

The TS808DX offers even more versatility with its toggle switch, which allows you to place the Boost either before or after the Overdrive section. It also has a rear panel switch for selecting either 9-volt or 18-volt operation. Whether you prefer the original 9-volt sound or the increased headroom of 18-volt operation, this pedal can accommodate your preference.

In terms of features and specs, the TS808DX includes Overdrive, Tone, and Level controls for the Overdrive section, as well as Boost and Pre/Post switches for the Booster section. It utilizes true bypass switching to maintain signal integrity and offers the option of either 9-volt or 18-volt power supply. You can use a 9 Volt Battery or an external AC adapter (AC509, sold separately) to power the pedal.

Overall, the TS808DX is the classic Screamer you know and love, but with added functionality. Its combination of Overdrive and Booster in one box, along with its independent control options and voltage switch, make it a versatile and powerful tool for guitarists. If you're looking to take your tone to new heights, the TS808DX is definitely worth considering.
