Sometimes, simplicity is the best approach. In a world teeming with overly complicated technology, the reliable and straightforward stomp box remains the most popular and effective method for enhancing, altering, distorting, sustaining, and manipulating sound. The Ibanez Tube Screamer, in its various iterations, is a staple on pedal boards all around the world—from grand arenas to intimate studios and even home setups. Its warm overdrive is a signature tone that players at every skill level, from beginners to seasoned professionals, cannot do without.

The excitement only grows with the introduction of the TS808HW, a deluxe hand-wired Tube Screamer specifically designed for professional musicians. Housed in a robust metal casing, the TS808HW features meticulously hand-wired connections using select JRC4558D chips, the same legendary components found in the iconic TS808—a pedal that has inspired countless imitations. Additionally, this model incorporates premium Japanese MOGAMI OEC cable (AWG21), ensuring high-quality signal transfer.

One of the standout features of this Tube Screamer is its True Bypass capability, which allows it to deliver pure guitar sound to the amplifier without any tonal degradation. This marks the TS808HW as the most refined Tube Screamer ever produced.
