Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer Reissue Overdrive Pedal. Were there any particular tube amps that you used as references?The Ibanez Tube Screamer, in its many versions and forms, can be found on pedal. In 1982 werden door Ibanez de allereerste Tube Screamer overdrive pedalen geproduceerd, tot op vandaag een immens succes door hun hoogwaardige buizenklank met sprankelende mids.I understand that the OD808 was designed to compete with the Boss OD-1, but that you wanted it to have a more tube-like sound.

Occasionally, I used a Marshall 1959 Super Lead.The Ibanez TS9 is the second variation of the original Tube Screamer circuit that came out in 1982, 3 years after the original. In contrast, the more vintage ts808 gives a creamer, smoother tone that is suitable for blues.At that time, I mainly used Fender tube amplifiers for development and audio tests of the pedal, specifically a 1968 Fender Twin Reverb and a Vibrolux Reverb. Although both are similar, the ts9 gives a more modern, brighter and aggressive gain suitable for rock and metal players.
Therefore, Maxon concentrated on domestic sales only, and overseas export was supplied under the export company Hoshino Gakki’s Ibanez brand or the U.S. After that, the RC4558, JRC NJM4558 and TI RC4558 were installed, depending on the production lot.How did Maxon start making effects for Ibanez, and did you make any changes to the OD808 circuit when it became the TS808?At that time, Maxon did not have the ability to export products abroad on its own. The OD808/TS808 were both remodeled several years later to use the Raytheon RC4558, which had improved audio characteristics to the UA1458. However, the price was almost the same as the UA741.The UA1458 was eventually adopted for the earliest OD808/TS808 narrow-case pedals.
When I connected the external speaker terminal of GA-10 to the input of the guitar amplifier, it suddenly made a screaming sound. At this time, we brought a prototype of the Micro Teacher Mini Amp GA-10 and asked Sammy to evaluate it. Since Sammy was familiar with the sound of pedals, Richard told me to speak with him. We first visited Sam Ash Music at West 48th Street, Manhattan, and talked to Richard Ash. These are proof that the pedals are the same as the Maxon versions.The name was suggested by the Sam Ash Music family, by Jerry’s son Sammy Ash. I think you can easily find Maxon’s printing and engraving on the printed circuit board or battery lid of vintage Ibanez pedals.
The development of wireless microphones became my main job from around 1986 to 2000.I understand that some modifications were done to the 40th Anniversary OD808 to improve the sound and the dynamic response. And these include distortion, auto wah, compressor, analog delay, digital delay, multi-effector and the Digitally Controlled Processor series. I worked on most of the pedals Maxon released from 1974 to around 1985.
The pedal is quiet in operation and comes with a nine-volt battery housed under a metal cover secured with two screws. Even pegged fully clockwise, the tone circuit didn’t produce brittleness or harshness in the highs but definitely added more presence in the right frequency range to cut through in a loud mix. At all settings it sounded sweet and had great touch responsiveness, and with its abundant output it was easy to dial it in, whether using it SRV-style – with the drive knob on the low side and the balance control cranked up to get more overdrive from the amp – or via the opposite settings to obtain more distortion from the pedal itself.The tone control is useable throughout its rotation, yielding creamier textures when turned to the left and more upper-mid emphasis when spun the opposite way. For the 40th Anniversary OD808, the output circuit was changed to be the same as the original, and it sounds closer to the original 1979 version.Maxon celebrates four decades of Tube Screamer with the Limited Edition OD808 (Image credit: Ibanez)The latest in the long production history of the OD808, Maxon’s new OD808 ($199) celebrates the 40th anniversary of this iconic distortion pedal in a limited run of 400 units, with the first 40 being hand-signed by the original Maxon designer, Susumu Tamura.Using the current production OD808 as a template, Tamura recently made some modifications aimed at giving the pedal a “more open, articulate sound with improved dynamic response.” I tried out the new pedal with a ’63 Les Paul Junior, a reissue Gretsch White Falcon with TV Jones pickups, and a Reverend Gristlemaster T-style guitar, running them through a Fender Deluxe Reverb and a Vox Superbeetle head and 1x10 cabinet.The OD808 is probably the best-sounding modern Maxon rendition I’ve heard. The reissue OD808 uses one NJM 4558 op-amp, and transistors are used for input and output buffers.
