JAM Pedals further evolves its Tubedreamer Screamer - now in MK2 edition with High Gain on 2nd Footswitch and new No-Diode Clipping option
Key Points
JAM Pedals’ Tubedreamer Screamer MK2 evolves the TS808 take: the High Gain option moves from a toggle to a second footswitch, and a new No‑Diode clipping mode offers a little louder, punchier response. Controls: Level, Gain, Tone, Clipping (Asymmetrical / No‑Diode), High Gain footswitch, and Engage/Bypass footswitch.
Two finishes: Standard “bulb” and “Glowing Sunset” western vista Custom Shop. As of 2026-07-13, the price was £219 for Standard and £294 for Glowing Sunset (both include 20% UK VAT). Available now for order/pre‑order on the JAM Pedals Webstore.
The writer calls it a handy, higher‑octane, more dynamic playback evolution, and notes demos plus a temptation to swap knobs (2 x Mid‑Blue and 1 x Cream/White, or 2 Blue + 1 Silver Aluminium Love My Switches).
So the JAM Pedals TS808 take gets another spin around - moving the High Gain option from toggle-switch to Second Footswitch, while we also get a new potent ’No-Diode’ clipping mode - which is a little louder and punchier.
Controls - Level, Gain, Tone, Clipping : Asymmetrical / No-Diode, High Gain Footswitch, Engage/Bypass Footswitch.
I’m sure most don’t necessarily think they need another Tube Screamer variant, I myself have several already. While this is an undeniably cool and handy evolution of that format - with a little more action and horsepower under the bonnet as such - for higher octane and more dynamic playback!
The Standard ’bulb’ edition looks pretty iconic still, while I would be sorely tempted by the ’Glowing Sunset’ western vista Custom Shop edition. I’m currently seeing UK prices displayed - £219 for the Standard variant, and £294 for the ’Glowing Sunset’ variety - both including 20% UK VAT. Of course available now for order / pre-order on the JAM Pedals Webstore.
I’m still figuring out if I should go for one of these - my dance card as such is already filled up for May, while said Glowing Sunset variant will unlikely be around for long! I’m so sorely tempted - but do I really need another screamer?! - I guess I do if it looks that good!
I would be further tempted to swap out the knobs for ones that matched the respective background areas of the artwork a little more closely - so 2 x Mid-Blue, and 1 x Cream / White! That would surely look even more special! Possibly even 2 Blue and 1 Silver Aluminium Love My Switches types! Decisions, decisions!
