"Honestly, the Best Tubescreamer"

Feature:
As far as tube screamers go, it covers everything.

Quality:
Built like a MXR pedal. It's not like its a cheap plastic pedal...

Value:
Original TS808 for like $50 cheaper then the tainted Ibanez Reissue? Best value there is as far as tubescreamers go.

Desirability:
I'm a fan of the MXR style pedals, plus green's my favorite color!

Sound:
Original Vintage TS808 sound. The original Ibanez TS808s actually had Maxon boards in them, just the Ibanez name on the front!

Ease of Use:
3 Knobs, pretty easy to figure out!

Support:
You won't need to worry about this...

Overall:
No replacement! I'd rebuy the day it would've been stolen. The other review on this website rating it 7/10 and eventually returning it, well look at what genres he plays. Why did he buy the pedal in the first place?

Feature:
Pretty straight forward

Quality:
I like how it loos but it does feel a bit fragile? Maybe it is me? Worked fine though! Not real noisy at all!

Value:
A bit spendy for it...if it were $20 cheaper, would be great!

Sound:
Nice sound with a 5150 as a boost or slight gain addition....very sweet sounding, yet can get gritty. The problem I had was all settings sounded relatively similar.

Support:
They responded to my emails!

Overall:
I returned this product....it drained a lot of the bottom end....so that is why.
