An Ibanez tubing Screamer happens to be an overdrive/distortion pedal that’s gentle pared many, but let the genuine noises on the guitar and user’s way to e through. Amongst the most common using a tube screamer is always to move a tube amplifier for it to be overdrive better, nevertheless noises great through most situations.
TS-808
Initial tubing Screamer got the alternative TS-808 overdrive pro in the belated ’70s. It absolutely was preceded because tangerine “Overdrive” and alternative “Overdrive-II” which can be found in narrower box without any electric battery address, and also the reddish “Overdrive-II” which in fact had a package almost identical to the TS-808. The light environmentally friendly OD-855 Overdrive-II can also be for the TS-808 elegance package and contains a circuit that is definitely like the 808 – the deck character number merely vary by one digit. The overdrive and OD-II got another type of, more distorted, fluffy rounds in close proximity to a large Muff.
The TS-808 as well as its age bracket bring smallest rectangular material on/off touch-buttons. Just about all TS-808’s seem terrific. There was some TS-808s produced in the 1979 cycle, mostly for any other than UNITED STATE market, that came in a narrower package. These get a bottom platter that unscrews to improve the battery like an MXR extremity, no silicone power supply cover. This slim TS-808 received an alternative rounds. They employs two 1458 potato chips that happen to be the 1st form of the low-tech two op-amp. Additionally the extent button on these is actually tagged BALANCES along with outside 9V electrical port is included in along side it beside the feedback jack. They used the very same situation being the earlier OVERDRIVE and OVERDRIVE-II pedals which used stomp switches. These have a circuit aboard described OD-801. This deck can also be found in a number of older Maxon OD-808 OVERDRIVE pedals which in fact had a TS808 style change and an electrical power port unofficially (not to ever staying confused with the 2000-era Maxon OD808). Ibanez reissued the thin TS-808 because the “35th Anniversary TS-808” in 2014. It is a very accurate reissue except they put JRC4558D potato chips rather than the 1458 potato chips. We now have a mod develop these similar to the originals.
Earlier TS-808’s possess Ibanez (R) “trademark” icon which many of us search. There’s actually no contrast, while some top have got a Malaysian Arizona products RC4558P processor instead of the normal Japanese JRC4558 chip. A rare processor utilized am the TL4558P processor, since made use of in some first 8-pin IC processor company OD-1 pedals. This is Jim Weider’s beloved chip from inside the master Of build pedal. Many of the earlier TS-808s supply a nut retaining the electricity adaptor port on, while after people do not have lover and a flush adaptor jack. It’s not strange for a TS-808 for an undercoat of an alternative color (that is present in the ever-present corner potato chips).

Original TS-808 reports
As you can tell, the JRC processor was used over the longevity of the TS-808 in addition to the TL4558P was applied sometimes. In AB examinations, there is hardly any difference between the three potato chips, the JRC provides strongest VINTAGE hose screamer noises- the sweet communication midrange. The Malaysian RC4558P chip is possibly always stretch your budget as they are less expensive than a Japanese produced JRC processor chip. We would be glad to work with the RC chip in your mod if you want. They usually have a bit more resolution which many of us might including. Early TS808 utilized a circuit deck denoted MP-D01201A, then in late 1980 or more these people replaced within the MP-D01201B deck.
SRV utilized the TS-808 for their signature moist strat tone. As he employed littler Fender amps that had natural overdrive, he or she made use of the TS adjust nice and clean (lower disk drive style) with all the level upwards highest to thrust the amplifier for additional distortion (view my MAINTAIN BOOST resources below). As he starred through larger really clean amps he flipped the drive all the way up much, about 1/2 option, with overall tone on about 3 and level about 7 to obtain the distortion from the TS.
Around 1982 until 1985 the Ibanez pedals were repackaged together with the 9-series of effects are manufactured. The favourite had been the TS-9 pipe screamer, which is about the same as the TS-808 internally. Externally the on/off alter matured to fill about 1/3 of this impact. An important improvement in the TS-9 routine is within the productivity section. This induced the hose screamer staying some brighter and less “smooth”. The Edge from U2 uses a TS9 for some of his overdrive colors, just as perform countless different greatest stone and organization athletes. In old age the TS-9s were built with other op-amp chips, rather than the JRC-4558 which is sometimes called for when you look at the schematics. A number of these sound horrendous, especially the JRC 2043DD potato chips. Numerous utilized the Toshiba TA75558 which was continuous from the reissue. Should you have a different TS9 by using the 2043 processor chip, our 808 mods can make a big difference between shade.
STL and TS10
After the 9 program was stopped, the DO WELL AT or L series pedals happened to be generated, without a pipe screamer during the array. This collection was just built in about 1985. These people performed range from the BRILLIANT PIPE product STL, and is like a 4 button hose screamer. Actually much like the uncommon and useful ST-9 ultra Tube Screamer which seemingly have come were purchased simply in Europe. These are definitely like a Tube Screamer with an additional MIDS control, which is certainly before cutting throughout the ST-9 and as soon as the cutting phase in STL. match Subsequently in about 1986 the in a similar fashion manufactured ENERGY PROGRAM or 10 television series came out, as an example the TS-10 tubing screamer. pared to a TS-808, a TS-10 possess about 3 times a whole lot more rounds changes versus TS-9 got. From about 1988 through 89 once the 10 line ended, some TS-10 pedals had been made in Taiwan, making use of an MC4558 chip. All TS-10s (or fifty and 10 program pedals) utilized inexpensive jacks and planting pots which were placed to your panels instead of the covers, so they often injure or falter and should not generally be solved like a hand-made pedal (ts9 and ts808 are typically hand crafted, hand wired areas). Additionally there is a ribbon wire inside which connects the cooking pot panel toward the biggest aboard.
