    Man, the green Maxon OD with the recto is such a classic tone

    That Mesa with the 808 is my favourite distortion sound I’ve heard. Ever.

  • @duck2587

    Green with the Mesa wins for me. Red on JCM800 wins for me. Although it’s splitting hairs. Great video.

  • @teriakamoto

    I've had a dozen or so heads in my day and the JCM800 is one of the best amps ever made IMO. With the right Boost pedal it can do anything and everything. Both pedals sounded great with both amps. Consider the source. Still, Winner,Winner,Winner lol. Favorite channel on YT for Amps and Pedals.No excessive talking or boring stories, just facts . Meat & Potatoes, Texas style.

    Saw the link to this vid on the Facebook 800 page.
    This is a great video. You can you play your ass off!
    I liked the green on the Mesa - the 808 tightens up the Mesa “flub” better to my ears.
    With the 2203, I found it harder to pick. Both conplimented the amp nicely.
    I’m away from my Apollo converters - I listened on apple ear buds on an iPhone 8 as I’m working away from home, so take it for what it is!

    Yup, the red one rules for more aggressive tone. The green is more classic... there's a reason why the rockers and blues hounds love it, especially on a JCM 800 or older amp.

    This demo is great. All your tone is great before and after boosts. That said, how would you compare the Maxon OD808* to an MXR GT-OD? or against the Mesa Grid Slammer? (your Grid Slammer demo sounds killer, so I wonder how it compares to the OD808, more/less gain, more/less aggressive? ) Thanks!

    I have a Marshall 2203 and had the OD808x. I shouldnt have sold it. the 808x sounds killer through a 2203. Because it cuts the bass some, I ran a cheap graphic EQ with just the bass frequencies boosted after the 808x and it sounded killer. this pedal is perfect for the 800.

    The red one doesnt sound like an 808, sounds like a ts 9 to me.....I prefer the green one because I love tons of mids, especially on solos.....my all time favorites are the maxon 808 green and airis proto drive, if I m playing my kartakou preamp based on the Engl....if I m playing my Randall thrasher, I don't need any od's

    • @killertone
      @killertone  6 лет назад +2

      isaac thrashHmmm the 808X doesn’t sound like a TS9 when they are side by side. The 808 is much closer actually. For rhythm playing the lack of the low mids in the 808x make it a bit more tight sounding and feeling.

I've seen some of those heads on youtube and looks like they all have a bit more gain. Are there multiple versions of JCM800 lead with vertical input or it can be and internal setting like tube bias or something?
