When the description for Behringer’s TO800 Vintage Overdrive pedal mentions the 4558 IC I know they're referring to the chip used in what I consider one of the most iconic pedals in Guitardom. Clueless? We’re talking about the TS-808, TS9, TS10, TS7, TS5, etc. The TS series is the most collected, written about, and modified pedal out there. I was a relative late-comer to TS mania and it was the early 90’s when I got a TS5. It’s the same circuit as the original but cheaper components, a plastic case, and it’s not a collectable, but it produces the same soft clipped harmonic distortion that the early versions are lauded for. Jump to present and Behringer who produces inexpensive clones of many popular pedals. With my curiosity killing me, I ordered the TO800 and it arrived in two days. I hooked up the TO800 and my TS5 and A-B’ed them at the same settings. Shazaam, shazaam! I can’t tell the difference. The Behringer TO800 nails it! Yes the case is plastic and battery cover removal is a bit quirky but I use it with an external supply and I don’t throw or drop my pedals. Get “the sound” for a song and a dance.

Simply a no brainer at this price. After reading many reviews, I gave it shot and was blown away. I put it side by side with my buddy's TS9 and it was virtually identical. The difference was placing the drive past 9 O'clock. At this setting it has a little more distortion which gives it an almost two in one effect. While the TS9's metal casing will hold up longer, I find no reason to spend $80 more for it. The plastic casing is of high quality industrial strength and I have kicked the dung out of it and it has held up. I have a Tubulator MTE-1 which I dislike and never use but decided to use it in unison and the sounds that I can get are amazing. I am running it through my Super champ X2HD and cabinet on the straight tube clean channel 1 and it has turned it into the most versatile amp I have ever had. Behringer has come along way and they are making some good stuff now. Buy this pedal and it may be the best $20 bucks you've spent.

Of course everyone will compare this with the legendary Tube Screamer. Well let me tell you it is pretty close to being one in the same. I viewed a you tube video of this and an actual tube screamer being played and that was what sold me on this product. Please keep in mind that this is not a distortion pedal it is a tube pedal. It offers a tube crunch sound for the most part unless cranked up then of course it becomes a distortion pedal. I love the tone of it and even though I have an overdrive section on my amp this is much superior to that. Am I worried at all about the plastic housing of it absolutely not and at a price of $19.99 believe me there is nothing to think about.

The Behringer tube overdrive pedal has become my favorite choice on my pedal board. I had mostly been using an overdrive pedal and a blues pedal and wanted to add a new sound. I watched lots of videos on YouTube which compared Tube Overdrive pedals and the most popular was the Ibanez Tube Screamer. That looked and sounded like a great pedal choice, but it is a bit pricey. After watching several videos of the Behringer Tube Overdrive TO800, I decided to purchase one. Its been a few weeks now and its become my new favorite. It sounds good by itself but also works well with other pedals such as chorus, vibrato and Wah. It even sounds good when I run it through my other over drive and blues pedals. If you're looking for a tube overdrive pedal, the Behringer TO800 is a great choice. Alot of fun at a great price

Great pedal for the money. This is an awesome little pedal. I am running my PRS Custom 24 through my Marshall MG100FX. Awsome sound. Would give 5 stars if the pedal came with ac adapter. I did not like this pedal not coming with a power chord. You must remember to turn it off if running it on battery power.

I've had the TO800 for a few months. I'm basically a Jazz Guitar Student who plays mostly clean. However, I was looking for a bit of fatness & sustain without getting into a Metal or 70's Rock sort of tone. The TO800 does the trick by applying a bit of sweet distortion and noticeable sustain. The application of this box makes soloing a bit easier and more controllable than playing totally clean. I'm using an Ibanez ASF75 thin hollowbody on the neck pickup and really like the results. It's Unbelievable for $20 bucks.

For the price it's definitely worth the purchase. Sounds absolutely amazing. Nice for blues distortion on clean channel and boost on your distortion channel in your amp. The material is made out of plastic. Feels really cheap. Be careful installing the battery. It was a mystery to me. I almost brokeit trying to figure it out. Watch a YouTube video on how to do this. If it broke I would definitely buy another one.

This is a nice pedal. It's simple to use. It's got a great sound. AND it's tougher than you think.
