Vintage 1981 Ibanez TS808 Original JRC Tube Screamer Japan Pedal
This is an incredibly rare 1981 Ibanez TS808 guitar effects pedal that I recently discovered in a home studio in Liverpool. It had been sat there since the 1980s where the previous owner purchased it brand new. This is an extremely early 1981 version with the MP-D01201B board and the JRC chip as used by SRV himself. This one, unlike most of the others I have seen for sale, is in incredible condition and is completely uncirculated! It has had a recent check over by a leading UK tech to confirm all is well with it. Genuinely you will not find a better one! The sound is to die for and the condition is quality. Please see my pictures for more information as they form part of my description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
