It is a great blues pedal too, but the 808 just has a little more of that smokey midrange that makes the amp more "chewy" if that makes sense. Ibanez TS9- it takes audiophile ears to hear the major differences but I've owned them both.the TS9 is a little brighter and more aggressive? PERFECT for hard rock/metal guys. My all time favorite TS derived pedal (besides the real mccoy of course) You get an extremely tweakable yet accurate version of the 808 with the bonus of a very good sounding gain boost. Visual Sound Route 66: Cool OD with bonus compressor if you dig that kind of thingįulltone Fulldrive 2: THIS. They are well made, low noise, and true bypass (something that even the original didn't have) Here are some budget suggestions that I'd like to recommend:īBE Green Screamer: very good tubescreamer clone that can be had on the cheap. The dreaded hump that all the modders seem to be trying to eliminate is (to me) what makes it a magical companion to the midrange-lacking amps such as the older Fenders/Marshalls. The OCD and Fat Boost are VERY different pedals with a whole lot less of that classic midrange hump. I own the Ibanez 808RI and am perfectly happy with it. Maxon, if I'm not mistaken, was actually the original producer of the "808" pedal that we know today. There are tons of tubescreamer variants out there including many of the Maxon stuff.
