This is what many of us would like in our effects chain; an 808 Tube Screamer which can be brought up to some aggressive standards without losing character. So essentially, the boost should be included in the pedal itself to preserve authenticity & that's what we get here- a TS808 with its own boosted circuit. Another to-get on my list for 2014.
That pedal shouldn't be confused with the Turbo Tube Screamer which is already in Ibanez's catalog. Tube Screamer fans will know that the 808 is more adept to boosting tasks especially if you do not wish to lose the clean character- SRV style to be precise (but SRV didn't use the TS808). Also, the TS9DX does not feature an independent switch for its more intense selections. I'd say it's a regurgitation of a theme but differentiated somewhat.
