Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer, Early/Mid-2000s Reissue, Made in Japan

Up for sale is an Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer from the early-to-mid 2000s MIJ reissue run, featuring the classic green enclosure, legendary midrange push, and smooth clipping that made the original 1979–81 TS-808 famous.

This is an authentic Made in Japan reissue, not the later mass-market versions. These early MIJ reissues are known for excellent build quality, tight tolerances, and tone that’s extremely close to the vintage originals.
