First and foremost, the Ibanez 45th-anniversary Tube Screamer is not green. It feels weird to look at and it feels weird to say, but this thing is sparkly as hell and very blue. I’m… actually into it, honestly.
Anyway! The anniversary TS808 is everything you love about Ibanez Tube Screams with one major tweak – it includes the same JRC4558D IC chip and analog circuitry as the original Tube Screamer. So if you’ve ever considered spending a boatload of money on an original, maybe consider getting this instead. It’s only $199.99.
Other than that, the anniversary TS808 offers Overdrive, Tone, and Level controls and is limited in its production. So if you’re on the fence about getting one, just do it here. You should also consider getting one of those giant Tube Scream plushies too. They’re great.
