Maxon OD808 overdrivepedaal

Waanzinnig pedaal en wat mij betreft de beste die je kunt hebben.
Ik gebruik hem zelf voor een lekkere overdrive voor mijn Rockabilly sound en dat doet hij perfect!
In het verleden heb ik tal aan verschillende overdrive pedalen gehad en deze staat veruit om nr. 1

prijs kwaliteit = echt een 10!

Original Tube Screamer. Maxon was making this pedal before Ibanez and than when they have became famous in Japan Maxon started making pedals for Ibanez. All Ibanez pedals where rebadged Maxon pedals. This is a TS808 Dad.
Better priced than Ibanez and you are getting same quality/product.
Great solo boost for amplifiers with lot of bottom end. It cuts true the mix.
Familiar sound.
It keeps some of the original sound in the mix.
Works great with OD Channels of amps when amp is on verge of break up.
Works great when stacking gain with other pedals (not all and asks for some setup knowledge)

Not for every amplifier. For example it is great for Fender amps but not so good for amps that have weak bottom end. On such amps it sounds thin.
It not for home use on bedroom levels. It likes to boost already breaking amp. It likes working in the band and on high levels.
Not that versatile due "low gain". This is not a Metal thing.
Can be set up wrong and sound bad. Maximum gain is not it's thing.

So i you get one do not discard it until you have tried all of the possibilities like all settings and before and after other boost pedals. It is a Classic.
BTW when used with cranked Fender Amp it is a Steve Ray Vaughn sound. He used TS808 and TS-9 and TS-10. Remember he have had very thick strings and Stratocaster. So no mid in guitar and no mids in amp. Green pedal gave him what he have missed. Due the fact that he have had lot of bass even after green pedal he have had enough bass in the mix.
But if you play at low level and on flat EQ amp you are better of with a BD-2 when you are after a SRV sound disregarding that he have not used it. BR-2 and bassy amp would be bad muddy at high level and in the Band environment though.
