In the year
1979
, Japanese electronics engineer
Susumu Tamura
unknowingly started a sonic revolution.
Seeking to create a circuit to compete with the
Boss 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 the
Maxon
OD808
, which was then rebranded for
Ibanez
as the
TS808 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 named
Stevie Ray Vaughan
.
Over the past four decades, the
808
has 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 ain’t nothing like the real thing.

th
anniversary of the release of this iconic overdrive, and to celebrate
Maxon
is releasing a
