OD-808 : The perfect boost

9 years ago

One of the most popular and best features of this pedal is to use it as a boost in front of an already heavily overdriven tube amp. With gain control on minimum, level and tone adjusted to taste and necessity, it drives the preamp to the extreme metal territory and cuts off quite a lot of low end making the tone tighter and punchier, which is good thing for modern metal tones with low tunings or seven string guitars. Another excellent use of this pedal is to set an amp's clean channel to the verge of breakup and drive it to the crunch with Maxon OD-808. Wouldn't recommend it as a standalone overdrive though.
