Maxon invented the Tube Screamer so over the years they have introduced and then dropped many 'new and improved' models. The OD820 has definitely been their biggest seller since the ts. Big but! If you pop open the bottom ...surprise, surprise!!! The damn thing is a beefed up Klon!!! To be fair they did start with the Tube Screamer circuit but put in the Klon's mids and then added a blend of clean signal. It works!!! You still get the simplicity with the controls. A few tweaks and you get a very decent tone.
CONCLUSION
Not much to add. It is very good low to mid OD. Extremely popular with players whose music has a a Blues, Americana or Outlaw Country vibe.
