40th ANNIVERSARY OVERDRIVE (OD808-40)

SOLD OUT.  Please check out the ALL-NEW Tamura-Mod Tube Screamers here.   Check out "The Story of the Tube Screamer" here!   In the year 1979, Japanese electronics engineer Susumu Tamura unknowingly started a sonic revolution.  Seeking to create a circuit to compete with the Boss OD-1, he inadvertently developed a pedal that would go on to become the most copied, cloned and modified guitar effect of all time. That pedal was the Maxon OD808, which was then rebranded for Ibanez as the TS808 Tubescreamer. Known for its incredible warmth and organic, tube-like quality, the “808” quickly became the go-to amp-pushing pedal for countless guitarists around the globe, including a little-known blues player from Texas named Stevie Ray Vaughan. Over the past four decades, the 808 has taken on a variety of incarnations and launched the careers of many aspiring pedal designers looking to build a better mouse trap.  But as the saying goes, there ain’t nothing like the real thing. 2019 marks the 40th
