Overdrive is the hardcore.
Easy, 3 buttons: distortion, tone, level. External 9V socket. This is a late 70's, with the series button, not the side FET-square button version. He did not write OD855 on the box - just Overdrive II, but from what I can say IT'S REAL 855.

UTILIZATION
Short answer? A great, true overdrive. Not a distortion pedal.
Very easy to use and above all intuitive. Was there manuals or instructions at that time? ? ? .... I wonder if Rory Gallagher could have a look! lol!
SOUND QUALITY
This is a reference in the world of Rock & Roll and many numbers of world-famous artists have used this pedal in their configuration. Used with a '66 335 or a Customs Strats, all connected to a Marshall Plexy 100W lamp, and you're back in the sounds that remain forever "references".
This pedal fits all "purists" of fuzz and overdrive at a time.
In short, it's mind-blowing! !
OVERALL OPINION
I have this pedal in my possession since 1984, but it was already second-hand and besides, I do not even remember who I bought or bartered against a pack of smokes at the time. . . Indestructible material because I can not believe the state it is still now, and the sound has not changed him. It's always a bizare effect when I use it because it immediately takes guts.
If I had to redo this choice? ..... difficult to find, or even very difficult .... no problem, but it is already home! lol!
The value for money? .... Is the collector.
