Ibanez is back with a revamped version of their classic Tube Screamer, and it’s got some pretty hefty improvements over the original. The TS808HWV2 includes a JRC NJM4558 op-amp, high-end components such as MOGAMI OFC cables, and a boost added to the final stage of the circuit to increase the maximum output level by +6dB.
“At Ibanez, we sought to take the iconic Tube Screamer and push it further with a re-envisioning of the flagship, hand-wired model,” wrote Ibanez of the pedal. “We evaluated every component, while aiming to stay true to the pedal’s transparent and mid-range-focused tone.”
