Product Information

These overdrive effects pedals are excellent for bringing out the tone of your guitar and enhancing your individual style. With this pedal, you can add extra appeal to your performance by creating the right guitar effects for your unique sound.Originally released in 1979, this classic pedal has become a favorite among many well-known guitarists.

With a bright chassis in multiple colors, this overdrive pedal has inspired a long line of imitators. The drive, balance, and tone controls make it easy to adjust and achieve the perfect tone.

The compressor in the classic Maxon OD808 controls the sustain that is delivered by your amplifier. What makes this product stand out is that the tube amp compresses the music you play for your exact intonation. The amplifier in the circuit of this pedal contains a diode that distorts the signal of the negative feedback loop, resulting in a mild and smooth distortion. The tubescreamer creates an exceptional harmony so that you can produce your desired sound every time you play. The OD808 uses a 9-volt battery for power, or it can be plugged into the wall with an optional AC adapter. The pedal is made of lightweight cast aluminum, weighing below 1 pound while being strong and durable. Fitted with a bright LED, this indicator lets you know whether your guitar effects are turned on or off.This original Maxon product can enhance the sound of any of your guitars to create a truly unforgettable experience. You can even use this pedal as either an overdrive or a booster. With the OD808, the negative feedback loop projects exactly what you had in mind each time you play a note. You will be able to adjust the lows of the bass and the highs of the treble so you get that clean note that you want. With this effects pedal, you'll be well equipped to produce the tones you desire for all kinds of music.

It's a tube screamer. Simple. Useful.
I was previously using a BBE Green Screamer, a discontinued clone of TS808, and I had no issue with it; but the pedal enclosure is bigger than a typical MXR size and I was running out of space on my board, so I decided to get the Maxon OD808. From what I've researched the Maxon is actually closer to the Ibanez TS10 spec-wise. I have no idea if the Maxon does sound like an Ibanez TS10, but I do know that compared to the BBE the Maxon is slightly warmer. Noise level is about the same: minimal. The BBE features true bypass, while the Maxon has a buffered bypass, but from what I can tell the buffered bypass does not seem to add brightness which I've noticed with other buffered bypass pedals. Overall, I'm satisfied and I would recommend the Maxon to others looking for a tube screamer without a boutique price tag.Read full review

Tight, Smooth, and Aggressive
The Maxon OD808 Overdrive pedal is a very good tool at a very good price. I bought this pedal in order to tighten up the front end of my Mesa Boogie Mark V, and it did just that. This pedal will not replace the overdrive/dirty channel of your amp. It's the type of pedal that you buy to help tighten up the front end of your amp's overdrive/dirty channel, and to help bring out the dynamics and tracking of your playing style. Given this is only the second "OD" pedal I've ever bought, I find that it does quite a good job at doing what it's supposed to. The bypass on it is transparent as well, which a good thing. I give this pedal a 4/5 because it's not magical, but it is consistant at keeping things nice and tight.

This OD in front of a hi gain amp s perfect, just the right amount of "push" for solos...
This OD in front of a hi gain amp s perfect, just the right amount of "push" for solos and makes pinch harmonics easier and just gives a creamier playing feel to my amps already great distortion channels. highly recommend this maxon od808.

Maxon OD808 is my first real overdrive. good value!
This overdrive can be described as clean, has nice tone, and is great value for an over 100 dollar overdrive pedal. The sound has lots of mids and sounds controlled. I usually used a boss super overdrive and this one sounds quite similar. It just sounds cleaner. less hair in the midrange and top end. It's also less bright. This is good for pushing a distortion pedal or amp into high gain. The midrange has punch and sounds like it has nice quality going for it.

Great OD for all type of music
i have mesa boogie triaxis preamp with t.c. g-major attached, fifty/fifty poweramp and mesa boogie roadster 2x12 cabinet. I've tried several OD and distortion pedals and this has been my final choice. wanna transperant overdrive which doesnt change the guitar and amp character? this is the best one. I'm using it with all channels of triaxis (including lead channels for Metal sounds!)
