Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Maxon OD-808X Overdrive Extreme Pedal.
When even legendary overdrives just aren’t enough, it’s time to go to the extreme – the OD808X Overdrive Extreme
For over 30 years Maxon’s legendary “808” overdrive circuit has been an essential ingredient to achieving great guitar tone. Whether it’s used as a booster to drive an amp, as a Dirt box for crunch and extra sustain or as an EQ to shape the tone of a high-gain amp, the 808 in its many incarnations has shown up in more rigs and on more recordings than anyone would care to count.
Yet for all its legendary status, there are some who wish the 808 offered just a little bit more – and for those players obsessed with excess, Maxon has created the OD808X Overdrive Extreme. The OD808X offers a wider frequency response than a stock OD808, with an extended hi-frequency tonal range that offers additional clarity without becoming harsh.
