Shelby 808

The E3 Electronics Shelby 808 is a masterful fusion of two iconic guitar effects - the legendary Tube Screamer TS-808 and the legendary Shelby Mustang GT350 '69. This pedal combines the best of both worlds, delivering a sound that has captivated the hearts of guitar legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Noel Gallagher, and Carlos Santana. At the heart of the Shelby 808 lies the renowned JRC4558 chip, the very same component that gave the original Tube Screamer its distinctive mojo. But E3 Electronics has taken it a step further, enhancing the signal path and eliminating the unwanted noise inherent in vintage designs. The result is a pedal that retains the beloved Tube Screamer character while offering a more refined and modern touch. The Shelby 808's overdrive is a thing of beauty, compressing the sound wave with minimal loss in the original signal. This allows it to work seamlessly with both transistor and tube amplifiers, providing the perfect balance of grit and clarity. The mid-range focus of the pedal ensures that your guitar's voice cuts through the mix with authority, while the flexible controls (Drive, Tone, and Level) allow you to fine-tune the sound to your liking. Housed in a rugged, powder-coated steel enclosure and adorned with a striking Shelby Mustang-inspired design, the Shelby 808 is a true work of art. It's a pedal that not only sounds incredible but also looks the part, making it a must-have for any discerning guitarist seeking the perfect overdrive companion.
