Four months listed and still no takers.

Can a price drop be on the horizon?

:lol:

Im sure it sounds so much better than any other T-808 from the period. :wink:


Perhaps not, but it sure as h*ll would top any others in MOJO !!

W/ vintage Tube Screamers commanding about $650 in the marketplace, does it have $10k+ more MOJO.. ??

Probably not...

But it likely holds greater value-for-money than the banned Beatles 'Butcher Cover', the original proof of which sold for $11M at auction a few years ago, making it the most expensive Beatles memorabilia ever...

cheers!

That thing definitely has mojo, when I first saw the photo I thought they were now offering the TS808 in a relic finish. :lol:

It didn't sell. It was put up for sale because of a humorous handwritten note from John Lennon saying "Here's the famous banned butcher cover. You can sell it for $11 million dollars."
So the auctioneers named the auction "The '$11 Million Dollar Picture' Show"[sic], put it up for that price to draw people to the auction for other Beatles memorabilia, but never expected to sell it, and didn't.

It better be, since it's only one. SRV played with two tubescreamers, and splitting a pair like that should affect the price negatively. It's like if selling one of Briay May's two Vox AC-30s - you can only get half the authentic sound.

If I owned every single piece of gear between his pick and the wall socket he plugged his amp into, I still wouldn't sound like SRV.

:lol:

I remember hearing SRV used the TS9 a whole lot more, and that seems to be confirmed with a web search:

"Stevie used a Tube Screamer more than any of the very few effects pedals he employed from 1982-1990. Although many associate Stevie's tone with the TS808, photographic and other evidence suggests he only used an 808 briefly in early 1982, and did not use it in the studio. Why Stevie's tone became associated with the 808 is anyone's guess. It is a bit of a nit to pick since the 808 and early 9's like this one had the same chip. It was reported that when Ibanez bought up all the TS9's they could find in preparation for reissuing it in 1992, only 5-10% of the TS9's had the early JRC4558D chip. But Stevie used TS9's longer than any other variant. Stevie's 1981 equipment list does not include a Tube Screamer. A photo from April 1982 shows Stevie using a TS808, but the 1982 band equipment list shows a TS9 (the year of its introduction). I am not aware of any evidence that Stevie went back to the 808 after he got the TS9 in 1982."

Seriously?! Does it come with a case and a shoe print?

I had always heard that SRV would use two TS-9s at the same time. Just read it again in a TapeOp article on SRV producer Jim Gaines. I don't see two here.
