Maxon OD808 Overdrive Pedal

The quintessential overdrive pedal ? often imitated but never matched. Identical to the original circuit and featuring the JRC4558 IC chip, the OD808 reissue offers smooth, natural overdrive similar to a full-up tube amplifier. Incredibly transparent, the OD808 responds to individual playing dynamics and lets the true tone of your instrument shine through. Learn More...

Feature:
As far as tube screamers go, it covers everything.

Quality:
Built like a MXR pedal. It's not like its a cheap plastic pedal...

Value:
Original TS808 for like $50 cheaper then the tainted Ibanez Reissue? Best value there is as far as tubescreamers go.

Desirability:
I'm a fan of the MXR style pedals, plus green's my favorite color!

Sound:
Original Vintage TS808 sound. The original Ibanez TS808s actually had Maxon boards in them, just the Ibanez name on the front!

Ease of Use:
3 Knobs, pretty easy to figure out!

Support:
You won't need to worry about this...

Overall:
No replacement! I'd rebuy the day it would've been stolen. The other review on this website rating it 7/10 and eventually returning it, well look at what genres he plays. Why did he buy the pedal in the first place?

Feature:
Pretty straight forward

Quality:
I like how it loos but it does feel a bit fragile? Maybe it is me? Worked fine though! Not real noisy at all!

Value:
A bit spendy for it...if it were $20 cheaper, would be great!

Sound:
Nice sound with a 5150 as a boost or slight gain addition....very sweet sounding, yet can get gritty. The problem I had was all settings sounded relatively similar.

Support:
They responded to my emails!

Overall:
I returned this product....it drained a lot of the bottom end....so that is why.

Feature:
simple.....but the word "Balance"?.what is that about!

Quality:
MXR construction is the best, Maxon lack the weight thats why I give this a 9.

Value:
Better value than the Ibanez model.

Desirability:
What more should I say. Its just a pedal that does what it was made for.

Sound:
This OD808 is great for that hair raising SRV tube tone. Why spend another $50.00 ($169.00 total) for the Ibanez model, you get the same tone, smaller package and color. As for my musical style, I am all over the place and this pedal fills the void of the blues!The amazing thing, I am using this with a Digitech Rp50 only using the amp modeling, reverb and delay (basically all that is descent), Boss EQ-7, and Ibanez CS-9 (chorus).I am going to be getting in a few days the "YMJ dod" pre-amp/overdrive, put this in front of the OD808 and see what happends. Oh.....if your pick-ups are hot ie. "pearly gates", get the MXR "smart gate"....it helps kill the noise!

Support:
Never had to contact, no issues with product( fingers crossed).

Overall:
This pedal will stay in my board. If stolen?...just buy another one.
