Re: Death of an 808

I meant is the Ibanez old square switch still available ?

Then I would repair my old Ibanez OD-850 (orange fuzz) :

And I told you it was, Analogman sells them, and probably other places.

Then I would repair my old Ibanez OD-850 (orange fuzz) : The only pedal I know which self-squeal when you max the controls. Then you don't control the pitch with your guitar anymore but you still play a melody if you manage to tweek properly the stompbox tone knob (!!!)

Hear this effect in Tear of a Doll "My Cat" (1996 album) : a guitar solo played without actually touching the guitar.

And yes, analogman, small bear, ebay, etc... You don't replace the big square mechanical piece, you replace the small tactile switch on the PCB.

Hey, it broke in the "on" position, I don't see a problem! Just kidding, like everyone said, that's an easy fix, do it yourself or get it done.
