Godlyke, Inc. has released the limited-edition Maxon 40th Anniversary OD808-40K Keeley-modified Overdrive pedal. Originally released in 1979, the Maxon OD808 Overdrive was designed to emulate the warm, natural sound of an overdriven tube-amp. The OD808 circuit was then licensed by Ibanez and released worldwide as the TS808 Tubescreamer.
Featuring Robert Keeley’s “Max-Gain” mod, the OD808-40K features increased gain, output and low-end response than a standard OD808. Production of the OD808-40K will be limited to 400 pieces and each unit will be serial numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. The first 40 units will be hand-signed by Robert Keeley and feature a mini-toggle to switch between the stock OD808 sound and the Max Gain mod.
Street price for the OD808-40K is $199 for the unsigned version and $400 for the signed version.
