{"product_id":"869133","title":"MAXON VINTAGE OD-808 Overdrive Large Case '80","description":"The 'Maxon OD-808' and 'Maxon OD-9' are masterpieces of overdrive pedals that made the name of Nisshin Onpa Seisakusho known to the world. Needless to say, they are highly regarded worldwide, along with the Ibanez export models 'TS-808' and 'TS-9' that were produced as OEM products for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This overdrive pedal was produced by Maxon (Nisshin Onpa Seisakusho) from around 1979 to 1981. It was sold as the \"Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer Overdrive Pro\" for overseas export and as the \"Maxon OD-808 Overdrive\" for domestic distribution, as is well known to guitar and pedal enthusiasts. Due to its rarity and use by popular artists, it enjoys high popularity in the vintage market, and as evidenced by the existence of reissue models, clone models, collectors, and researchers, it reigns as one of the greatest compact effect pedals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This latest arrival is a large-case OD-808, shipped around 1980. The casing shows signs of use, such as scratches and paint peeling, giving it a nice, vintage feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This pedal features the RC4558P op-amp IC, also known as the Malaysian chip. The original sound and the drive blend naturally, resulting in a moderately compressed, sticky drive with a slightly wide range and a clear, edgy sound image. The low frequencies are moderately refined, while a slightly rough harmonic quality is added to the mid-high frequencies, giving single notes a crisp, well-defined presence. It's perfect for pushing amplifiers in the so-called \"808 style\" that supported the rock\/blues scene around 1980, and it will also fully showcase its characteristics when paired with vintage amplifiers of that era. A superb vintage overdrive that evokes the guitar sounds of that era flowing from classic albums. Please give it a try.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"MAXON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67608116396145,"sku":"869133","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/869133_01.jpg?v=1791009813","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/es\/products\/869133","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
