Re: New Product: The Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive

I got to know about the Seymour Duncan 805 when five minutes ago, the screen background on the website abruptly changed to display a turquoise pedal. I then went on a whim to Guitar World, and found the SD announcement released a little earlier. I also found out they also have a demo video of the pickup ready. That is an interesting aspect of marketing which is often overlooked, but as this testifies, paid attention to as well. Good job.

I've also noticed that in the past three product demo videos, Danny Young looks quite washed up. He looks badly in need of some sleep. Does he practice all the way into the late hours before recording the video? That was a feasible possibility with the Perpetual Burn pickups, considering the massive neoclassical tapping sequences he integrated into the demo, but what justifies it on this pedal demo? Is he sick with something?

And what is it that people like about that 808 chip? What is the history behind it?

Re: New Product: The Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive

by 808, do you mean a JRC4558 chip?

An active EQ circuit and 18v range makes this a dirt pedal with a LOT of posibilities. KOFFKlon-fighterKOFF

Haha, yeah I don't think that studio has much for air conditioning and that big light on Danny is gets might hot, not too mention all the scales and tapping he is always doing which is certainly taking its toll! He's well though and doing great!

Yes, it uses the same chip as found in the 808 - the 4558.

An 808-style pedal with B/M/T controls = W I N !

Re: New Product: The Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive

Hard to justify YATS (yet another tube screamer)...BUT....having B M T on it certainly steps things up! I currently use and really like a Green Rhino since it's 808 based and has adjustable bass and mid but having even more control with the treble could come in handy too. I'd love to A/B them at some point.

Hope that Bass knob can put some bass BACK into the tone, unlike the 808's.
