Ibanez's TS808 tube screamer Reviews

Purchased at Berlin for 290 Euro
Music Style: Rock and Metal
Sound
9
Not particularly noisy, but I don't mind a bit of hum. The effect is quite subtle - it's not a mosh-pit mayhem device and certainly won't do much in the Metal department. For blues and blues rock, it just adds a nice smooth lift. Although you may use it full-on for distorto-rama, I've found other pedals that will do the job better
Usability
10
Volume level, overdrive, and tone control, it doesnt get much easier to use, unless there are less or no knobs at all
Reliability
9
Hasn't fallen down yet, but I wouldn't take it out as it's stupidly over-valued in price
Summary
9
I don't care if it's too expensive.Because it's worth a money.I can make a difference by add others fx....phase 90,boss ce-1.For me I love and use vintage sound to creat this day music...... and this is the one.
