Wow ! What a nice sounding pedal..slightly smoother than the Ibanez TS 808,,which i think they call transparent,, great quality sound that adds that extra dimension to my effects pedals..having both of these pedals is a great way to go..if you can afford the close to $500..price range,,i really enjoy the Maxon OD 880 as well a bit cheaper 2nd hand and a bit more throaty,,than the 808,s,,but u cant go wrong getting the OD 808..
