Ah, it's another Ibanez Tubescreamer incarnation but one with a touch of character as specified by the 'HW' suffix- hand wired. I'm not being dismissive with this pedal but the list price for it would rob you silly- $555. With this much money, you'd probably convince yourself to buy a new guitar/ amp instead. However, if you are a fan (like me), even the prohibitive asking price would make you consider, instead of aborting the purchase intention.
Tone-wise, the TS808HW still possesses that midrange hump that would make some of us cringe but this manifestation is a little creamier than its other siblings if that's any consolation for you in view of its differentiated pedigree.
