TS-808 Plus Mod ($39.99) - No Switches

An original TS-808 is considered to be the holy grail of all tube screamers. Some musicians pay over $500 for one.

After our TS-808 "plus" mod, your TS-9, TS-9DX, TS-10, TS-7, or even TS-5 can fool anyone in a blind sound test.

​

We start by replacing the op amp with a JRC4558D (or RC4558P if you prefer), but we add an IC socket for those who like to experiment with the sound. Several capacitors are replaced with better quality metal film caps to enhance tone quality. Key resistors are replaced to match your pedal to original 808 specs, we use metal film resistors to help eliminate background noise. There is a slight bass response increase, a nice middle now that keeps your guitar sounding transparent when everyone turns up the volume.



The "Plus" part of this mod? Additional capacitor and resistor values are changed to put a little more hair on it's chest. You get about twice the normal gain, and also the abillity to clean up the sound when you roll back the volume. We top it off with a nice water clear LED. The LED is clear when the pedal is off, and a nice bright blue when the pedal is on. For tube screamer lovers, it doesnt get much better than this! Your tube screamer will sound better from it's head to it's ...fets!
