Yeah. Its Visual Sounds version of the TS:
"Faithful re-creation of a classic overdrive!
As the name implies, the Route 808 re-creates and improves on the classic sound of the TS-808. Merging the overdrive channels from Jekyll & Hyde and the Route 66, the Route 808 accurately reproduces the sound of the TS-808 Tubescreamer, but with a bass boost switch and far more output volume than the original, adding Visual Sound's proprietary tone sweetening ingredients for even better tone. 9V battery operation is available or the Route 808 may be powered by optional AC power supply".
Puts some wamp on the red channel of the DSL. A bit more compressed and not open sounding like the Dano. Still it offers something I like.
