855 Drive
The BYOC 855 Drive is a must-have for any guitarist seeking a unique and versatile overdrive tone. Inspired by the legendary Ibanez OD855, this pedal offers a thrilling twist on the classic Tubescreamer formula. Where the Tubescreamer is known for its mid-focused growl, the 855 Drive delivers a more open and dynamic sound, with a beefier low-end and a touch more gain on tap. This makes it an ideal choice for players who want to push their amp into rich, harmonically-complex overdrive without sacrificing clarity or responsiveness. The secret to the 855 Drive's allure lies in its meticulous attention to detail. BYOC has painstakingly recreated the original's circuitry, using the same 4558D chip, 1N60 Germanium diodes, and tantalum capacitors for that authentic vintage vibe. The result is a pedal that captures the essence of the OD855, but with upgraded components for improved reliability and performance. Whether you're looking to add some smooth, singing sustain to your lead lines or fatten up your rhythm tones, the BYOC 855 Drive is a versatile workhorse that deserves a spot on any discerning guitarist's pedalboard. Its unique voice has been embraced by players across genres, from blues-rockers to metal shredders, making it a true chameleon of the overdrive world.
