The AT, Plus and the two Custom Shop models are no longer in current production, but still-a search for “BB Preamp” on eBay or Reverb can be dizzying.Īdd to this the fact that the circuit has changed a bit throughout the years even among the same SKU, so a DIYer looking for a schematic would find several different ones. “AT” (Andy Timmons signature), based on the pre-2007 circuit.Standard (now called the “version 1.5”), post-2007 circuit.Think you might want a BB Preamp? Well, a few minutes of research turns into a few hours, and if you managed to gather the right info, you’re now left with a decision tree of six different variants: The reissue pedals are ok, but the original vintage pedals sound really great – creamy & warm – especially when driving a valve amp.Some companies like to keep their product line as small as possible so customers don’t get choice paralysis. These pedals are legendary for their great tone, and were famously used by Stevie Ray Vaughan as part of his signature sound – also by Joe Bonamassa amongst many others. The chip is a Malaysian TI RC4558P on the earlier Maxon ‘A’ board it has the ®logo and dash in the TS-808, as well as the chrome nut on the power socket and is a low serial number #115***.Įverything works as it should – no scratchy pots or dodgy jack sockets (it is always possible that some crackle may develop over time when not used – this should disappear with a couple of turns of the pot – this pedal is currently crackle-free). It’s in good condition with the usual chips/scratches to paintwork and very original internally aside from the battery clip and one screw.
This particular pedal dates from c1980 and it sounds every bit as good as a vintage Tube Screamer should. Early version Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal for sale in excellent working order and good cosmetic condition (see detailed photos).
