OVERDRIVE- MAXON OD-808 OD 40th Anniversary ...it has the Robert Keeley mods!!!

 MAXON OD 808 OD 40th ANNIVERSARY 

$200.00 USD

In 1979 the hot seller in Japan was the Maxon. Both the Maxon and the Ibanez pedals were made at the same plant.
Ibanez could see that this pedal was a gem.
They licensed it from Maxon and the Tube Screamer was born!!!! Well as you can see it was really actually adopted LOL.

When the 40th year came up Robert Keeley was asked to
join the fun and so then you get Keeley's famous  total
hot rod treatment. It did not stop there a Catalinbread, an
Earthquaker Devices and a Pigtronix version is yet to come.

Every pedal maker makes a ts type pedal. Some boast of their mods to it ...others pass it off as all their own and still others use it's schematic as the basis for a pedal that is beyond recognition as being half ts. You can see what just 4 company's can do to change the sound let alone a thousand. A thousand is not a joke. In Venezuela there are 98 gourmet pedal builders in just one virtually internationally obscure country.
There are hundreds of guys right know waiting for nearly 2 years
to get their Analog Man King of Tone. A double OD pedal. The low gain side is in fact a Tube Screamer.

CONCLUSION
As much as the ts is loved or hated there has always been some legitimate criticisms of it's few weaknesses. Good ol' Robert has a nice fixed for all those. So if you are thinking ts ...you can't go wrong. He did not mess with the original overall tone. Even the price is reasonable.
But you have a lot of choices. Catalinbread has turned into a Brit pedal. You see what I mean ...start
with the same schematic and you can turn a ts into dozens of different pedals.
