Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
I have a maxon808 mint-cond w/box I'd let go for $65 (the $5 would cover shipping so really $60).
Hard to beat an od808 as a basic ts model.
I have two and the one I always use has my entire birthday as part of the serial number, so I'm keeping that one! lol
PM if interested.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Are you still looking? Do you have anything in mind you're looking for? If you want, I can send you pics of what I've got and you can let me know if there's anything that piques your interest.
We might even be able to work out some kind of a trade, depending on what you've got laying around.

I have been digging the 805 Overdrive. Active EQ, and more gain range than a typical TS. It solves the 'too many mids and missing bass' problem of most ODs.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Isn't it your job to dig the 805? :18:
Just kidding. You're opinions always seem honest and straightforward. Definitely a good guy, and one I listen to.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
I'm currently checking Out the maxon. I'm open to anything tho. I'm trying to see what works best in my rig. I'm especially open to anyone sending me the pedal to check out. I have great trade rep. If I decide not to purchase it, the pedal will be sent back to you in the same Shape I received it

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Fender hot rod deville, boss tuner->Rams head fuzz-->golden cello--> boss flange. I'm gonna add a chorus at some point. I want a different flavor overdrive from the cello. Something to use to push the solos through in a band situation.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Do you want something to push the Cello/Rams Head with or on its own? If you want to push the Cello/RH (or boost the volume after it) a clean(er) boost or EQ might work well either in front of or behind it. If you are looking for a "third" solo channel kind of thing, you might want something dirtier than an OD pedal, really depends on what kind of music you are playing and if you are getting the drive from your amp and pushing it with pedals, or running the amp clean and using pedals for all the dirt.
What kinds of music do you play? (An answer like "rock" won't help as that could encompass Van Halen to Tom Petty)
All the pedals mentioned on this list are great, personally I could find a use for any of them, but I wouldn't use any of them (except maybe the 805 and I would probably push that) as a main solo sound, I would only use them as boosts into a dirty amp or other dirt pedal. But, I also may be looking for more saturation/gain that you want.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
I've recently switched bands so the stuff illl be play through the fender will be bands such as blackberry smoke, Jason Andean, Brantley Gilbert, Eric church, Thomas Rhett and the occasional southern rock tune. I'm alright with the dirt flavor I'm getting from the amp I just want a little more volume and grit when going into a solo. With this band I doubt I'll ever use the Rams head but probably will the cello and when I do I'll use the overdrive to
Boost for solos. It would be nice to find a pedal I can double for my home playing as well. I play a lot of metal for myself. Iron Maiden, sabbath, mastodon, seether, etc. that's done through my solid state Randall. At some point I want to get a bogner red or ubershall to use with the hot rod for my own metal playing. But as of right now I need something for the country cover band I'm in.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Any of the pedals mentioned in this thread should work great then, they are all slightly different flavors of a similar thing. The Maxon is a Tube Screamer (Maxon built the original TS for Ibanez), the Soul Food is a Klon clone, and the OD-3 is like a smoother Blues Driver, it's quite different from the Super Overdrive which has more in common with the TS. Hope this helps some.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
Also make sure to give the 808 a whirl at it's more "clean-boost" setting. (gain near 0, level near max)
My favorite always-on setting is around; gain-8:00, tone-9:00, level-4:00,,,,,,,+- an hour on each.
As a lead-boost it's better IMO with the tone cranked much higher, gain up a bit, level down a bit. (compared to above settings)
As a pure lead-boost pedal I'd say my favorite of the "mainstreams" is actually the maxon-vop9. They almost never come up used though.

Re: Wtb: overdrive pedal
loversmoon - I'll try to get you the pics either today or tomorrow. A bit busy around here at the moment.
As long as we're on the subject (and I know this is the wrong place for this), do you folks have a different preference for humbuckers than you do for single coils?
Yeah, I know I just opened a big can o' worms here.
