The Ibanez TSV808 Vemuram Tube Screamer is a masterful fusion of two iconic overdrive pedals—the legendary Ibanez TS808 and the boutique Vemuram Jan Ray. This limited-edition pedal is designed for guitarists who crave the rich, overdriven tones of a Tube Screamer combined with the full-range clarity and massive headroom of the Jan Ray. Its sleek, green-tinted brass body not only exudes class but also minimizes unwanted noise, making it as functional as it is beautiful.

At the core of the TSV808 is a refined three-stage overdrive circuit that maintains the TS808’s signature midrange bump while offering new depths of tonal exploration. The pedal’s classic Drive, Tone, and Level knobs are complemented by two rear trim pots for precise bass and saturation adjustments, allowing you to craft everything from smooth, creamy overdrive to aggressive, punchy distortion. Internal dip switches provide additional customization, letting you toggle between TS-style symmetrical clipping and SD1-style asymmetrical clipping.

Crafted with no-compromise components, including several from Vemuram, the TSV808 ensures top-shelf sound quality. Whether you're aiming to emulate a traditional Tube Screamer or seeking to carve out a signature sound, the TSV808 offers the flexibility and control needed to realize your tonal vision.
