In the year1979, Japanese electronics engineerSusumu Tamuraunknowingly started a sonic revolution.

Seeking to create a circuit to compete with theBoss OD-1, he inadvertently developed a pedal that would go on to become the most copied, cloned and modified guitar effect of all time.

That pedal was theMaxonOD808, which was then rebranded forIbanezas theTS808 Tubescreamer.

Known for its incredible warmth and organic, tube-like quality, the 808 quickly became the go-to amp-pushing pedal for countless guitarists around the globe, including a little-known blues player from Texas namedStevie Ray Vaughan.

Over the past four decades, the808has taken on a variety of incarnations and launched the careers of many aspiring pedal designers looking to build a better mouse trap. But as the saying goes, there aint nothing like the real thing.

2019marks the 40thanniversary of the release of this iconic overdrive, and to celebrateMaxonis releasing alimited-edition OD808model in collaboration withGodlyke, Inc.

Using the current-productionOD808as a launch pad,Mr. Tamuraprovided specific modifications to the pedals circuitry that provide a more open, articulate sound with improved dynamic response.

There will be a limited production of400units of theOD808-40, and each will come with a signed certificate of authenticity. In addition, the first 40 units of the pedal will be hand-signed byMr. Tamurahimself.

With it’s unique tonal characteristics and undeniable collectible appeal, TheMaxon 40thAnniversary OD808is destined to take its place alongside the legendary pedals it has descended from.
