Ibanez TSV808 Vemuram Tube Screamer Guitar Overdrive Pedal Ltd Version

This Might Be the Ultimate Overdrive Pedal
The Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer and the Vemuram Jan Ray — one is the world’s most popular overdrive pedal, the other is one of the most coveted boutique stompboxes on the market. The limited-edition TSV808 aims to be the ultimate overdrive, retaining the Tube Screamer’s signature midrange bump, but infusing it with the Jan Ray’s full-range clarity and massive headroom. A comprehensive control set enables you to either emulate a standard Tube Screamer or bring the elusive overdriven tones running through your head to fruition. No-compromise components, including several of Vemuram’s, were used to ensure top-shelf sound. The TSV808 features a green-tinted brass body with the iconic TS808 shape.

The TSV808 — when two worlds collide
When Ibanez and Vemuram crafted the limited-edition TSV808, their goal was to create the ultimate overdrive.The TSV808 employs a refined version of the original Tube Screamer circuit: Instead of four stages like the Tube Screamer (buffer -> overdrive -> tone -> buffer), the TSV808 contains three stages (overdrive -> tone -> +7dB gain boost). The end result is an ultra-smooth drive that retains the Tube Screamer’s trademark mid bump; however, it opens it up with the full-range clarity of the Jan Ray.

Ultimate tone with a comprehensive control set
If you’ve used a Tube Screamer, you’ll recognize the TSV808’s primary controls: Drive, Tone, and Level — but that’s where the familiarity ends. The TSV808 includes two trim pots on the back of the pedal for dialing in your bass and saturation. Set everything at noon to emulate a standard TS808 Tube Screamer or embark on a tonal expedition — the choice is yours. These controls range from -2.5dB minimum to +11.7dB maximum. You also get internal dip switches that allow you to toggle between smooth TS-style symmetrical clipping and aggressive SD1-style asymmetrical clipping. With this much control, you’re sure to discover your ultimate tone.
