Maxon OD-808

No offense for the Ibanez, but this pedal is a lot better purchase than the Ibanez version.

Here's why - I had a TS808 a year ago and it died on me. The switch broke and it was a tiny switch with a spring inside, and the switch is very hard to get in hands with. The switch on this will last you forever.

I like how this pedal gently boost the signal without being too hard on the amps distortion, like you can experience on some overdrive pedals where your sound is ruined by too much boost. The minimum setting on this can be great for blues, then turn up gain and you will be the master solo player in metal history.

The knobs feels very nice, doesn't turn too easily and isn't too hard to turn, just the perfect rotation.

Do not drop the pedal, it's too sturdy or it'll make a huge hole on your floor.

I think it's a new trend from pedal companies, but it was nice to receive the pedal with rubber feet still not installed, so you have the selection between rubber feet or velcro.

Som titlen siger, så er denne pedal tilfældet hvor "kopivaren" er bedre end originalen, nemlig Ibanez' TS808...

Maxon lavede Tube Screameren for Ibanez for lang tid siden, så det giver mening at OD808'eren er et "bedre" valg end Ibanez.

Med godt halvdelen af prisen af Ibanez'en, er OD808'eren en pedal der næsten er umulig at overse.
Den lyder IDENTISK til Ibanez' TS808!

Maxons pedal er lidt mere "skrabet" i finishet, men byggekvaliteten og lyden er i top.

This guitar pedal does not work well with the low impedance line output typically found on synthesizers. It will only work well with the high impedance output of electric guitars.

Basically you will not get any noticable overdrive effect at all out of this pedal when using it with a low impedance line output, the gain knob will do virtually nothing to the signal. Unless you turn the volume of your synth extremely low and boost/amplify the signal at a later stage, but then you will most likely get undesirable noise and the overdrive effect will still only barely be noticable.

Only the tone and balance knobs will work when using this with low impedance line out, but then the pedal becomes just a lowpass filter with a volume knob and no overdrive effect.

If you want to use this pedal with a synthesizer, or any other low impedance output, then you will need something such as a reamp box, to convert your low impedance line out to a high impedance instrument output.
