Based on the “808” circuit that Maxon invented over 30 years ago, the OD808X offers a wider frequency response with an extended hi-frequency range. This added tonal range has been carefully tuned to provide additional clarity without becoming harsh, and will also accentuate high-gain settings. The Overdrive Extreme offers more gain and harder clipping than the standard OD808, creating amp-like distortion. An increased output level allows the OD808X to be used as a semi-dirty booster to drive an amp. The OD808X Drive, Tone, and Level Controls, plus a buffered bypass switching with low impedance output drive long cable lengths without loss of signal. A status LED indicates bypass/effect and battery condition and it is equipped for 9V battery or AC adaptor operation. The pedal, made in Japan, has a three-year limited warranty. List price: $209. Street price: $159.
