Biyang OD-8 X-Drive

This is a Tube Screamer Clone with chip swap out capabilities and a true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Great OD push and options.

SOUND QUALITY

I have a Ibanez TS-7 and really liked it but was wanting a TS 808 clone as they are used by my influences. The TS-7 was tighter in character and a little quieter but the OD-8 was able to match the tone perfectly and has a much wider range on the controls plus a 3 position switch that changes it's tone dirastically! In all fairness it was like going from a cassette to a CD in overall sound quality! Just amazing clarity!

OVERALL OPINION

It has a real 3TDP true bypass switch and quality components that are undeniable. Great casing! Can achieve a TS808 tone without the $200 price and give you extra sound options with the 3 position switch and chip swap. Comes with the JRC4558DD installed and two others to experiment with (The KWK737 chip highlights the treble tones in the overdrive while the NE5532 chip has some serious growl and presence). Made in China but did not compromise part quality! Amazing sound/ quality. $42 =WOW!!

Hello,

This is an overdrive pedal comes with two processors to change according to his taste.
a switch with three positions and a powerful LED (blue or green LED) that illuminates the pedal
handy in the dark Live ..
In its place smoothly in a large pedal board model.
I will not repeat all that has been written, it is a great compared to others I have much more expensive and no more shine, bluffing the deal possible.
A vintage look and a solid chrome metal case.

UTILIZATION

Configuration and use very simple.Non no manual for a pedal with a switch and three knobs, although data sheet is provided for changing the DSP.

SOUND QUALITY

This is a must, it quickly finds its creamy looking, big or distorted sound ..
It has nothing to envy my other OD as a famous Tube Screamer is serious, even its reliability after four years, doubted at the time of its release as Made in China.
Uh, especially guitars (stoves scratch) ..

OVERALL OPINION

So for four years and this is one of my favorite with her twin, yes because it was distributed under a different brand and Woodbrass MusicStore, but all the same OD 10 Drive Fame
and also the Eagle Tone. See:
https://fr.audiofanzine.com/distorsion-guitare/fame/sweet-tone-od10/

Its main feature is unique since there is negative.
At the time the quality / price was unbeatable, now, as I have no problem
I do not know if they are still produced, but if I do it again barreling towards to find a used same.

This is an overdrive. Comes with 2 chips with a 4558 supposed to simulate a TS9.
And it works!
The robust housing contains electronics not cheap at all. The switch also is strong and the effect takes a 9v power supply with + in the periphery (as boss). It's not so bad because tails, it is greedy ...

The format is not the std boss, behringer digitech and other. it can interfere with a pedal board, however, it takes the floor!
The sounds are not editable preamp and has no light, yet can be easily obtained from the small drive to the consequent distortion (metal untouchable) by combining various settings.

UTILIZATION

Fairly standard config. The plus is the appearance of a small 3-position switch that offers different colors:

-Bright, I would say it's a lot of single coil with a slight crunch to the sound of a chopper strat SRV.
-Warm is thicker, rocky ... yes, I know, but will describe her in writing, you ...
-TS is supposed to simulate a TS9. I must say that it does not hurt. It's clear and untied with a good offense. It almost sounds like a lamp preamp ...

Manuel? I speak the language.

For the rest: Tone, Drive and Volume. okay, we know ...

Little extra for Chicken Head knobs you can turn with the foot (qd same blunder ...)

SOUND QUALITY

Apart from a slight breath (I do not think either true bypass here), the effect is quite convincing. For the price, it's stunning.
Ideal condition with a power supply to the delta to spend the budget in batteries and it runs ... Use cf

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. I take her to the horse. it's laugh qd I go out and cry I qd range )
She holds up the boiboite ...

I try everything that happens. This one, I like it. I will not record with, but it is simple and effective.

I recommend for fans of gritty blues less fortunate. This is stunning ...

then this expensive X-drive OD-8 comes in the form of a box (which looks like stainless steel) 13 cm long and 9.5 wide with 4 cm. This pedal uses analog technology and connects like any pedal between the amplifier and the instrument (here is my guitar) and is not a rack mount model.

UTILIZATION

the control panel is simple, 1 volume, 1 tone, 1 drive and a 3 position switch, TS, bright and warm. an LED that lights up and turns green when the effect is activated, and of course, an instrument input and an output amplifier. question manual, y 'had not! ah! ah! ah!

SOUND QUALITY

I can say this is the pedal that I've been waiting for decades! finally a hot drive, and with which this can really play arpeggios where notes still ring in crunch! I think you can really enjoy playing many styles of music ranging from blues to rock and that will of course to hard rock! I use this pedal with my guitar and I must admit, it still sounds good with this mic schekter! I plug everything in my amp drive 30 watts dedicated to low and, frankly, it seems to play an amp on all lamps! plan earplugs so you do not tear your eardrum in 2! ah! ah! ah! it's still unbelievable that this pedal delivers such a sound! I love all the sounds on this pedal! there's nothing wrong with it!!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now since early this afternoon. I love the most, the stainless steel look, the stylish black knobs vintage vox, the 3-position switch, the smallness of the pedal, the sound huge can erupt, the seriousness of manufacture, the price (unbeatable! !), the green (she is pretty!), the knobs progressive, the simple system of closing the hatch power (a simple screw knob). I like the least, the battery comes out easily from the small place that is dedicated to him. I can say I tried distos pedals and overdrive; snarling dogs blue doo (not bad, but she did a little digging!), boss metal zone (how horrible! digital sound too!) MXR dimebag darrel (typed and not too pretty versatile) MXR Zakk Wylde (not bad for the drive, but the price is too high given the performance!) XXL Tech (really not bad, but limited compared to my biyang!) .... and tons of others who have seemed so unnecessary, too expensive, too bland, I'll stop there for the carnage! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /><img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /><img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />
the price / quality ratio is outstanding! , 59 € in music destock and 49 € on ebay, frankly, have a brand like BOSS or tutti quanti match a price like that, they may not! And people have the impression we make fun of their faces! Besides, me, when I saw the price for the first time, I wondered if it was serious, I went on youtube and saw an Asian who was testing, I thought I was going to fall off my chair when I heard the sound! and then he played the guy as well! but hey, this is not the point, if I would do this choice rather than 2 times! and besides, I wonder how their other sound effects ... will, ultimately, you are looking for a true overdrive / distortion to play blues to hard rock with its strong presence and a competitive rate permanently burying; look no further! biyang the X-Drive OD-8 is for you! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

on 10/04/2010, after having tried it on an amp Ampeg B-100R compared to a R-belcat FUZ510 fuzz, I finally found it's typically a "marshall" and that one can not not get out, and indeed the belcat has all my favors at the moment and I find it much more versatile than the biyang!
So, after finding I'd say it's a great pedal as long as you love the Marshall sound, if it is not, go your way!
