[QUOTE="Zander, post: 53761, member: 1726"] There's no reason to believe he used anything other than an original Ibanez TS-808. Of course you can buy a reissue today or go on eBay looking for an original "from the day", but I pointed out the Maxon 808 to you, specifically because it *is* the original Ibanez TS-808 circuit, it's a decent price for a new TS, and offers the benefit of a true-bypass switch instead of the Ibanez TS-808 buffered switch. Right now I am in the process of building the ITS8 kit I linked to you at General Guitar Gadgets. I will probably build more than one if only for the fun of chasing the Cusack Screamer. Whether you get an original Ibanez TS-808 or build your own or buy a Maxon OD-9, you're going to be better off simply by making the plunge: buy one or make one. They are all actually so similar that time spent worrying about getting "George's Tube Screamer" is going to distract you from what sounds like your mission: getting George's sound. Have you even heard a Tube Screamer? They're pretty anemic by themselves. Where they really shine is in the tone coloration and in pushing an amp. Ironically, I even use my Maxon OD-9 to push my Subdecay Blackstar Distortion pedal when I'm playing at practice levels. Stop fretting about the lane and pick one. If you don't like that lane when you're in it, there's always another to get in. :D [/QUOTE]
