TWA Source Code—Next Evolution of the 808
The TWA Source Code is the ultimate evolution of the iconic Tube Screamer, designed by none other than Susumu Tamura, the creator of the legendary TS808. Built for players who demand more from their overdrive, the Source Code preserves the soulful midrange warmth of the classic green box while unlocking a new dimension of clarity, headroom, and harmonic richness.
Powered by an internal voltage regulator, the Source Code runs at 18V for dramatically improved dynamics and increased headroom. Its multi-transistor input buffer ensures your guitar’s natural tone stays intact, while the exclusive “Magic IC” OpAmp injects extra harmonic content and an amp-like feel that responds to your touch.
Adding to its arsenal, the Source Code features a unique “Bite” control, letting you dial in the amount of even-order harmonics for everything from smooth, singing leads to aggressive, cutting drive. A built-in +6 dB boost circuit delivers extra output without changing your tone — perfect for solos or pushing your amp harder.
With classic Drive, Tone, and Level controls, top-mounted jacks, and true bypass switching, the Source Code is pedalboard-friendly and road-ready. Power it with a standard 9VDC supply or battery, and step into the future of overdrive.

Just one of the Best overdrive I ve ever used. Clear, warm overdrive with a lot of headroom. Multiples set up available and enchanté one is just as Best as the overone.
A fantastique pedal,worth its price.
If you d have just one overdrive this is the one.

Excellent overdrive tone, the Source Code is a great pedal that will be on my pedal board for a long time. It has truly unique harmonic character.
Godlyke also provides excellent customer service and you can communicate directly with a live, product knowledgeable staff member.
It's the quality of service that's missing from so many companies now days.
A massive leap forward from the original Tube Screamer with articulate drive, high headroom, low noise and a very organic touch. TWA and Mr Tamura have done it again, highly recommended!
As a huge fan of the original tube screamer (I own twoTS 9s, reissues of the TS-808, TS-10 and TS-88HW) and Mr Tamura's work, I got excited about the TWA Source Code pedal. After viewing demos online on That Pedal Show, I just had to have one. So,now, I've been playing this pedal for a few days with my Fender Ultraluxe Vintage , Strat and Tele through my Carr BelRay amp, and it's pure sonic nirvana, with harmonically rich complexity , touch sensitivity, musical organic tone, and great quality build. It's all there. My hat is off to Mr. Tamura and the guys at TWA. Well done. This is a great pedal. I highly recommend it. I just ordered a second one for my setup downstairs!
Everything I was expecting and more. Looks like it’s gonna kick some pedals off the board!
