Seymour Duncan Unveils the 805 Overdrive

[surfnorthwest]

The Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive pedal is designed using the legendary 808 chip, but with an expanded gain range and an active 3-band EQ that isn't common on overdrives. It's so versatile that you can use it for a smooth, lyrical bluesy overdrive one minute and a modern metal crunch the next. We started with the classic overdrive tones we all know and love but we tightened up the bottom end and added more sparkle in the highs as well as more detailed note articulation. Whether you're after ringing cleans, a subtle boost, fat crunch, or even screaming sustaining solo tones, it's all in there. And unlike other overdrives that become thin when you refine the gain, the 805's 3-band active EQ lets you take back control over the low end while also fine-tuning the mids and highs.

That's a lovely sounding dirtbox for sure, nicest tones I've ever heard from a DSL for sure

Yeah seems like a good pedal, though I've not had much luck with SD pedals. The power grid was awful and I didn't like the valve powered classic, it had no character, but this one sounds great.
