Maxon OD-808X Overdrive Extreme Pedal

Time to take things up a notch. The Maxon OD-808X Overdrive Extreme Pedal is a radically modified more aggressive counterpart to the beloved OD808 Overdrive. Created with heavier musical styles in mind the harder clipping pattern provides distortion with more snarl and is capable of accessing higher-gain tones. While the internal architecture is very similar to the OD808 the Extreme features an additional +5 dB of output level that ensures that the OD808X punches through the densest of mixes with an authority that most overdrives just cannot match. The buffered bypass design of the original is preferred here which helps maintain signal integrity - especially useful for bigger pedalboards. If green is now symbolic of legendary overdrives then the OD808X is making red the high gain alternative.
