Maxon Releases the OD808X Overdrive Extreme

Maxon Releases the OD808X Overdrive Extreme

The OD808X offers a wider frequency response with an extended hi-frequency range.

Clifton, NJ (October 24, 2014) -- Godlyke, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the Maxon OD808X Overdrive Extreme.

Based on the classic ā€œ808ā€ circuit that Maxon invented over 30 years ago, the OD808X offers a wider frequency response with an extended hi-frequency range. This added tonal range has been carefully tuned to provide additional clarity without becoming harsh, and will also accentuate high-gain settings.

The Overdrive Extreme also offers more gain and harder clipping than the standard OD808, creating amp-like distortion with excellent note definition. An increased output level allows the OD808X to be used as a semi-dirty booster to drive an amp.

Features:

  • Drive, Tone and Level Controls
  • Buffered bypass switching with low impedance output to drive long cable lengths without loss of signal.
  • Status LED indicates bypass/effect and battery condition for trouble-free performance.
  • 9V battery or AC adaptor operation
  • 3-Year Limited Warranty
  • Made in Japan

List Price $209 / Street Price $159
