At first, please feel free to order as it is. [Product Details]Up for sale, a 1979 Maxon OD-808 Overdrive in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Produced by parent company Nisshin Onpa, the Maxon OD-808 is one of the earliest produced "narrow box" examples, with identical controls and circuit to the very first Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamers (the Maxon branding was used for the Japanese domestic market). Central to the circuit is the pair of MC1458 chips for smooth, natural overdrive similar to the way a tube amp saturates at high volumes. The OD-808 is sensitive to picking dynamics and the nuances of your individual style while retaining the true tone of your instrument.The secret behind the legendary "808 tone" lies in the amplifier section of its circuit. Rather than having an amplifier stage followed by a clipping stage, the OD-808 uses a signal-distorting diode (Panasonic #MA150) located in the amplifier stage's negative feedback loop. Therefore, the OD-808 distorts the signal in the amplifier circuit itself which yields a smoother, milder, more natural sounding distortion than a separate clipping stage. This is also the reason that the IC type used in the circuit has such a large impact on the unit's tone.[Condition]There are a few minor scratches on the casing, but it has no issues with its functionality.No pedal tape ever attached to the underside. Worldwide shipping available.This unit has been thoroughly tested. We can confirm it is 100% functional. All controls work as they should. 
The circuit is 100% original and untouched, and the Nichicon electrolytic caps date between 1978 and early '79. The enclosure is notably clean, and the white silkscreened graphics are practically perfect. The original trio of knobs are intact, as is the serialized sticker on the back of the enclosure.It was only manufactured for a brief period of two years, the number of units currently available on the market is very limited. As a result, this vintage effect pedal is expected to increase in value in the future.Please note that all items are for sale in our Store in Kobe.
There is a chance they might be sold out.All import duties or customs fees are the buyers responsibility - please be aware of the requirements for your country.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
