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.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.
