The vintage TS808 is described as the Holy Grail of Tubescreamers, which makes the Ibanez TS808 Vintage Tube Screamer Reissue a time machine to the '70s for tone fanatics. It not only re-creates the look and feel of the original, it nails the warm, inspiring, real amp-in-a-box overdrive, too. The first TS808 used the JRC4558 chip, and Ibanez sorts through batches of modern-production JRC4558s to find the ones closest to the originals in response and sound. The combination of original-spec JRC4558s and authentic hand-wiring means the Reissue is as close to the original as it gets. And it also means you can own a TS808 without throwing down the vast quantities of cash the originals fetch.
