For over 30 years the Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer has been one of the most popular overdrive pedals in the world. The unmistakable little green stomp box has been a perennial favorite, cherished by rocks most celebrated guitarists for it's warm, creamy tone and unequivocal responsiveness. Now Ibanez has expanded the palette of "The Screamer" with the new TS808DX.

Simply put, this new version is two pedals in one: A true TS808 Overdrive, featuring the JRC4558D IC for that signature soft, subtle clipping sound, and a boost circuit, capable of adding up to 20db at the tap of a switch. The pedal incorporates two individual, true bypass switches for total independent control, allowing the Overdrive and the Booster to be used separately or in conjunction with each other. Add the Boost for a few extra db while playing through the Overdrive circuit, or just engage the booster on its own for that little extra lift while playing clean.

A toggle switch allows for the choice of placing the Boost Pre or Post the Overdrive section and a rear panel switch offers the option of 9-volt or 18-volt operation, Its the Screamer you know and love, taken to a whole new level.

• Overdrive and Booster in one box
• Overdrive : Overdrive, Tone and Level controls
• Booster : Boost, Switch for Pre Overdrive / Post Overdrive
• True Bypass
• Voltage Switch : 9volt / 18volt
• Power Supply: One 9 Volt Battery or external AC adapter AC509 (sold separately)

Every board needs a tube screamer, right?! I picked one of these up at L&M on sale and I got a decent deal on it. With my Tele I find it to be quite underwhelming. I have trouble making it sound the way I want it to sound. The boost is barely noticeable, which is unfortunate considering a pedal this large takes up a significant amount of prime real estate on my board. I'm replacing it in favour of a modded tube screamer, but if I weren't doing that I'd say a TS-9 would also be a good idea. Now with a Strat this thing is the bee's knees! It sounds awesome with a Strat, I just doesn't do it for me with a Tele. Just my opinion. It is a flashy looking pedal though, looks nice on a board if you're into buying pedala based on aesthetics hahaha

The only question that I have is why I didn't buy one sooner. I looked at them many times before but didn't pull the trigger. Now? I'm kicking myself. Simply a great sounding pedal that is well built and adds a whole new dimension to your sound. No pedal board should be without a tube screamer. The clean boost is really really nice too. PS use it with an 9v adapter only. 18v not required. it has an internal voltage doubler so it can run off a single 9v battery. Battery life is much reduced when in 18v mode.

This pedal is awesome! It provides the nicest sounding overdrive out of any Tube Screamer I have tried! I really don't have a bad thing to say about this pedal. I bought it on sale, so I feel as though I got really good value for my money. It is easy to set for any genre that I play. I play quite a bit of country, and I find this pedal pairs very well with a compressor, which can be rare for an overdrive pedal. If you don't own one of these BUY ONE!

Great pedal for my taste. Great price ($199). There are some YouTube demos that give an accurate impression of the TS808DX. Two things that may be helpful to some: The pedal converts 9V into 18V, so you don't need an 18V adapter. Also, if you're using a Pedal Power 2 Plus, and are running the pedal on the 18V setting, you need to use outputs 5 or 6, and switch it away from "normal" on the back (to 9V 250mA). That's been my experience, anyhow.

This pedal has a lot of tonal benefits..the boost can be used pre overdrive, or post overdrive, aswell as on its own.. i really enjoy boosting my clean signal with this pedal cos it gives a nice slight break up to an already loud amp.. the overdrive is very reminiscent of a tube screamer, but allows a bit extra if your already pairing it on your amps dirty channel.. this pedal is built on a solid chassy and has a 9v or 18v power input..my findings on this is the boost gives more punch to the signal in 18v and the overdrive breaks up more on the 9v..so try it yourself, if you don't mind the slightly inflated price..

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
