vintage ts808 multieffect

I don't know much about them, but I suspect that Lindsey Buckingham may have used one (or a variant) in the early 80s with Fleetwood Mac. He alluded to it in an 80s-era interview once, but didn't mention the specific brand and model.

Were there other Ibanez models that had echo, overdrive and chorus?

Yeah - these are pretty hip units for those into Ibanez effects - in the latter days, we couldn't give these things away - they're pretty hip.

 

I think the word is out (sort of) on these. They seem to go for a few hundred (more for the ue300 ones than the ue305 ones) on ebay, etc.

I've had most of the variants and liked them all. Large footprint, though.

 

that would be more of a "Vintage TS-9" multieffect.

 

nice analog tones, significant signal-noise ratio issues, extremely unreliable footswitches.

 

A friend has one of those and it still souonds pretty damn good even after all these years. I also think that's probably a TS9 in there as well.

 

I've seem seen them go for 100 to $200 on craigslist.

 

i've only seen one person ever use one. he was a killllller player too. it was hard to tell how good that thing actually sounded, because he could have made almost anything sound good.

 

I've owned a couple of them. LOVE THEM! There's an older one for sale near me that I keep wanting badly, though I don't "need" it.

 

op-amps are analog.
