OVERDRIVE - MAXON OD820 not another Tube Screamer but it's replacement ???


MAXON OD820 OVERDRIVE PRO


IS THIS THE NEW TUBE SCREAMER ?
IT'S GREEN ENOUGH ...

    Current Price $199.00 USD


It was not Ibanez but Maxon that invented the Tube Screamer ...Ibanez just licensed it. They had a worldwide distribution for their guitars so they put the ts808 on the map. It has been a long wait but they did not want to blow a sizable rep...with a pedal that a 3rd of the gourmet boys have already come up with.

I can not fault it. It is the ts thing but with the quality of sound in keeping with

better technology and better design. 


 I have a it covered with my Tube Screamer Demon. But my board has been pushed to the limit with the best of all OD pedals, so updating my ts with this can never be counted out.




Still on call
but soon to retire.

LOL



                 It easy to be cynical but this is a damn good pedal.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WE ARE ONE YEAR OLD ...DEC 23/15 to DEC 23/16




It all started Wed. Dec. 23,2015

I was killing time waiting for a few Xmas gatherings on the 25th and 26th
I thought I would give you a heads up on one or two each of some pro sounding pedals that were all about $30.00 USD each.

So that might take an hour here and there over the Xmas holidays then I would just move on.

It went viral half way thru the same day ??? So I'm still here. LOL


The first Strat was in here.
There are now over 16.000 of us that come here for pedal and now guitar info.
You are now a player that knows where to get entry level pro or better for dirt cheap.

As for pedals you not only know which $30.00 Chinese jobbies are so good you might never replace them.
But if you do replace them ...you know what pedals are the best of the best  ...you usually know this within 2 weeks of it being offered for sale. In some cases days before any one else.
In short SDS gets a world premiere of the pedal.

You are also entitled to bragging rights ....LOL.

IKEA MAKE A GUITAR YOU ASSEMBLE !!!






Is this a kit guitar made by Ikea where you get a box full of parts etc.

Or is it a Rickenbacher from the 60's that was the Ikea of their day. 

Maybe it is a made in China jobbie....that someone in one of the far west provinces came up with from having seen too many bad Hollywood movies. 


Actually it is a 60's Ric....the Astro D.I.Y. kit guitar... hard to believe ...

a real 'Ripleys'
