Ibanez TS808HWV2 Tube Screamer Handwired Overview
Ibanez TS808HWV2 Tube Screamer Handwired
“At Ibanez, we sought to take the iconic Tube Screamer and push it further with a re-envisioning of the flagship, hand-wired model. We evaluated every component, while aiming to stay true to the pedal’s transparent and mid-range-focused tone.”
After extensive testing and multiple prototypes, Ibanez identified the JRC NJM4558 op-amp as essential for preserving the Tube Screamer’s legendary sound. The TS808HWV2 model goes beyond tradition with a wider range of tones, thanks to premium components such as MOGAMI OFC cables, enhancing the benefits of its hand-wired construction.
This version also features an added +6dB boost at the final stage of the circuit, providing greater output versatility. Aesthetically, it retains the Tube Screamer’s classic shape but introduces an updated, high-end finish that complements its premium build.
