Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
Early version Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal for sale in excellent working order and good cosmetic condition.
This particular pedal dates from c1980 and it sounds every bit as good as a vintage Tube Screamer should. It's in good condition with the usual chips/scratches to paintwork and very original internally aside from the battery clip. The chip is the JRC4558D; it has the ®logo and dash in the TS-808, and is a low serial number #112***. The chrome nut is missing from the power socket and the battery compartment door is a later replacement. Detailed photos below.
Everything works as it should - no scratchy pots or dodgy jack sockets (it is always possible that some crackle may develop over time when not used - this should disappear with a couple of turns of the pot - this pedal is currently crackle-free).
These pedals are legendary for their great tone, and were famously used by Stevie Ray Vaughan as part of his signature sound - also by Joe Bonamassa amongst many others. The reissue pedals are ok, but the original vintage pedals sound really great - creamy & warm - especially when driving a valve amp.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
