Retro-Sonic Eight-0-Eight Overdrive

Brands:

$149.00

The RetroSonic Eight-0-Eight Overdrive is a faithful recreation of the original Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer circuit and features the much lauded JRC4558D op-amp. Its overdrive circuit provides the same tone as a vintage '808.  It provides tube like overdrive effects while retaining the guitars original tone. 

Being a ground up build rather than a modified pedal has allowed Retro-sonic to provide some feature benefits up front. 

FEATURE SET:

- The unit is built with metal film resistors and caps for the best fidelity possible.

- The opamp is mounted in a socket so that you can swap chips easily. 

- An internal trimpot allows for adjustment to the amount of bottom end content present. The range is from stock TS-808 to nearly flat response. The mids are not taken away, the bottom is brought up. It is a nice feature that lets you decide what the right amount of low end is.

Controls:
 
1. Level: Controls the over all volume of the effect. Rotate clockwise to increase output volume.
2. Gain: This control the amount of overdrive/gain applied to the incoming signal.
3. Tone: Adjusts the overall tone of the effect.
4. 3-Way Switch: Selects, asymmetrical-diode, LED or symmetrical-diode clipping.
5. Normal/Effect Switch: Stepping on the switch turns the effect on and off. The LED will alsoturn off when the battery voltage is below 5v.
6. Input: Input jack to connect the output of the guitar or other effect pedal.
7. Output: Output jack to connect to the input of amplifier or other effect pedal
8. DC9v: Jack to connect a 9VDC adapter
