Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive Reviews

Great tones for great price

I've seen reviews of this pedal against the Ybanez TS, and I totally agree that they sound the same. When I unboxed this beast, I was astonished by the clean drive tones I can get. It can range from light crunch to heavy distortion. I love it to bits! Hope it will last though, as is commonly the problem with Behringer products they say. I will see for myself. Totally worth it!

Behringer TO800

The product is just amazing! Just go for it!

I use it front of an peavey 5150 II head and it just killer.

Pro:

sounds great

Cheap

Con: Not really , maybe the plastic housing but its still pretty neat, sturdy.

Just go to youtube ,choose any comparsion video Behreinger vs Maxon OD 808 or vs TS808 vs TS9

you gonna be suprised!

Best 24 euros spend, ever, period.

"Basically a tubescreamer"

I'm glad I bought this. When I last tried a tubescreamer I was disappointed with the sound, thought "this does nothing", but have since learned how they work, and also learnt that this pedal is basically a tube screamer.

So I use this mostly to drive a dirty amp. I have played with other musicians and it makes my guitar stand out in the mix for solos and such.

It makes my amp shine in clean too.

As a clean boost it will still make your guitar a bit more prominent due to its mid-hump.

It has a stiff input jack socket. Take care of this pedal and it'll treat you well.

My overall rating takes into account the price whereas the others are more objective.

A con is I am sure this is actually lower than unity volume with level set to maximum.

Good sound

Its sound is good

The build quality is acceptable, especialy for home use

All controls work as expected and don't need any explanation

I find a bit inconvenient to replace the battery

For 24 euro it's an excellent tube screamer

It's a fine thing, just less of an impact than a fuzz pedal, but that's just from my inexperience.

Sounds good

Very nice sound from this pedal.

Just by reading other reviews I was expecting a cheap enclosure but not so cheap. There is no feedback when pressing the stomp switch.

Wouldnt move this pedal out of the house.

Hey Behringer

I dont think that your customers would mind paying 1-2 USD more for a better enclosure.

Won't get a better pedal for the price. Love this pedal!

A plastic tubescreamer

It sounds exactly like a tubescreamer which is one of the greatest overdrives made. For this price you can't go wrong

Good Cheap Overdrive Pedal

Nice Overdrive Pedal. feels cheap but sound great

Very nice, a perfect TS808 clone.

Excellent but loses a star for plastic construction, so has a shorter life expectancy if gigging a lot.

If only for bedroom use its a 5 star.

TS-9 copy!

It produces a sound similar to TS-9 (no differences for my ears), which is not surprising, given that it is assembled on the same element base (the same chip, etc.). Of the minuses, the assembly of the base is rather mediocre and the jack falls out of the socket periodically. But if used in pedalboard assembly or at home for recording, no problem

Great sounding excellent value for money effects pedal.

The tube screamer in a plastic case =D

I use it in a small pedal board for fast rehearsals mainly and when re-amping heavy guitars at home. I have TS9 and compared it B2B with the TO800 and I can say that it's dead on, sound is just exact as the TS9. The only issue is the plastic casing yet has a good feel to it and if you treat well your gear it could last many years for sure.

TO800, buy it

Just go ahead and buy it. Nice subtle overdrive, can't over do it but if you want more get a distortion pedal. Good sounds on my HB amp clean channel. Yes its plastic but feels like good plastic.

brilliant

Using this with my Faith Saturn semi through a Marshal AS50 and getting some great dirty blues. really happy with it. buy a power supply because you will be running this pedal for hours. happy riffin'

Amazing sound.

Yes, it's cheap. Yes, it's plastic and could die of heavy gigging.

BUT!

It is easily replaceable because of the price and it sounds astonishingly similar to the original. A friend has one and we did a double blind with both and couldn't tell which is which!

Screaming!

Simple but great pedal!

Run it on the clean channel of your amp and you'll rock'n roll all day. Switch to the overdrive channel and it really encourage you to metal up your playing. ( I use a Blackstar combo with it)

The plastic casing means it won't last forever, but nothing at this pricerange does.

A whole lot of fun for a VERY reasonable price.

Perfect TS 808 Replica

Realy good Tube Screamer clone, watch the JHS video on Behringer to see what im talking about.

Great Pedal and fun

I got this pedal to compare to other pedals in this price range. This pedal is far better the most every other I have tried under 50 dollars.

Its a great grab n go that needs to always be in hands reach. 10 out of 10

Decent bit of kit

Not worried about the plastic housing as being used at home only. Having said that, the plastic case is pretty sturdy and would take some abuse............before breaking. Great pedal for the money.
