All user reviews of 5/5 for the Maxon OD-808 Overdrive Reissue

Overdrive analog type TS9

UTILIZATION

Ultra-simple: 3 pots: drive, balance, tone.
I use very little tone adjustment finally
No breath and true bypass

My favorite setting is with my cry baby upstream
Drive 10am
Balance at 14-15h
Tone to 12

SOUND QUALITY

It's simple and roughly vintage with beautiful grain.

I use it on a TV and AC4 Ultra Epiphone LP with Seymour Duncan and push / pull.
The 808 blends really well with that I, the grain is sublime, his warm
documentation provides typical settings to Smith but not panic is a very simple pedal, roughly generous and nuanced effect.

Basically I used to work at home in 1 / 4 or 1 watt on my AC4 and have a grain and crunch. I am now finally in 4W and the 808 is still there so I like the sound it brings.
I tried it with a lot of guitar (not mine unfortunately) N4 Bettencour Washburn, Music Man Axis, strata and its always filled me on my AC4.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 6 months and every day.

I tried the BOSS, but I was convinced, that's a matter of taste and it's personal. I was looking for color and sound good vintage rather than the fat saturation.
My playing style is Blues / Rock / Funck

I love the finish, overall quality and its type TS9.
Bought second hand at 90E, I do not part with. Even at 130 in nine is a very good investment.
Do not miss out on without trying

any analog pedal or overdrive boost, you should know that this pedal is true since ts 808 ibanez maxon pedals manufactured at the time.
otherwise it is a very rigid box with a metal footswitch, input and output jack, a jack 9v (battery location under the pedal), 3 knobs, while there is more classic volume, tone , gain. It's simple and solid.

UTILIZATION

I use mainly clean boost I play several guitars, Gretsch, Telecaster and Gibson, Vox AC15 in a pedal I use a lot of fuzz and OD (lamp and germanium) and whenever j'enclanche the boost it increases the gain of the natural amp or pedal. In my vox in clean, I get a bluesy crunch unsuspectingly in my big ben I spend a punchy crunch to an OD at ACDC and my English muff'n I spend a little fuzzy Marshalian its true and OD fuzzy, awesome what this pedal is completely necessary to play in all styles.
brief as a tube screamer she crying my lamps, they are normally identical.

SOUND QUALITY

Génialissime, even when attention to first set the tone that acts on the medium. 8 for that reason, a graph or 3 eq knobs for treble, mid and bass was really great, but a record vintage, metal a little less but it depends on what you do before and after Me I'm in a blues rock record but many metals have a boost in just ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a couple of years and the pedal is essential to my pedalboard, I tested a lot of boost and OD in the tradition of TS among HBe y had a quite a few opportunities over (an integrated boost and a switch that changes the tone of the action), the Ibanez is the same but looks less solid, VS has released a lot of double trouble I OCCAZ did not get to test it corespond 2 TS to the SRV, personal one is enough for me so I am very happy with my pedal. If I do it again this election?
You're not a stupid question ... lol
