Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer Previously Owned by SRV 1980s

Few pieces of gear are as associated with an artist’s name as the Ibanez TS-808 with SRV. In fact, it’s rare to have a conversation about Tube Screamers without his name coming up! So, it’s with great pride (and joy) that Chicago Music Exchange has a chance to offer our customers a chance to purchase an Ibanez TS-808 pedal once owned by Stevie Ray Vaughan himself!

An integral part of the gargantuan guitar tones SRV culled out of his Stratocasters, this heavily-stomped Ibanez TS-808 was passed down to Cesar Diaz, the world-renowned guitar and amp tech who worked with SRV—as well as Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, and G.E. Smith, among others—after SRV retired this model and moved on to the TS-9 and, eventually, the TS-10 Classic.

Now available for sale at CME, this historic pedal gives SRV fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a classic piece of gear that belonged to the guitar player that made it a classic, to begin with!
