808+
The GoudieFX 808+ is a masterful reinvention of the legendary TS808 overdrive, meticulously engineered to deliver a versatile palette of rich, harmonically complex tones. At its core, the 808+ retains the iconic character that has made the TS808 a cornerstone of guitar tone for generations, but Goudie has taken it to new heights with a series of clever modifications. The "less/more" mod is a stroke of genius, providing a remarkably wide gain range – from a pristine clean boost to a thick, saturated lead tone that can push even the most ferocious high-gain amp into glorious distortion. This flexibility makes the 808+ a chameleon, seamlessly adapting to genres from jazz and blues to hard rock and metal. But the real magic happens with the toggle switch, which allows you to choose between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping. The asymmetrical setting unlocks a whole new world of expressiveness, adding an organic, touch-sensitive quality that's perfect for soulful Stratocaster leads or rich, dynamic rhythm work. Internally, the 808+ is built to exacting standards, with premium components like a JRC4558D op-amp and 1% metal film resistors ensuring whisper-quiet performance and uncompromising tone. The result is a pedal that pays homage to the past while boldly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with overdrive. Whether you're a blues purist, a modern rock virtuoso, or anything in between, the GoudieFX 808+ is a must-have addition to your pedalboard, ready to become the heart and soul of your guitar tone.
