What are the actual differences in these?? If I have a ts9 is it overlap to have a 808??

I dunno... but, I have a 808 clone arriving from Canada tomorrow!!! It was another drunk purchase!!! YAY!!!!

My MJM Luxora 808 clone arrived early!!! Just an hour ago!
I did a quick comparison between it and my TS9.
The 808 is a bit smoother and rounder sounding than the TS9.... that's about it. There are no other tone or neck feel differences for me.
I kind of like the 808 clone better than the TS9.

hmmm. well i won the raffle at RT for a Griffin pedal, i think ill just go for something different, i can choose from these:



MXR Micro Amp plus Clone

MI Audio Crunch Box clone

Catlinbread Epoch Bias clone

808 Scream Extreme ( my 808 Screamer with added gain )

Butler drive ( an adaptation of the BK Butler Tube Drive .... transistor based / no tube inside )''


anyone have any experience with these?? im leaning towards the micro amp

I like the Micro Amp Plus, for a boost on an amp that's sounding *right* but not quite enough of it. It's a different deal from an overdrive boost, but clean boosts are a cool alternative.

Don't really have experience with the others.

i have the TS9, SD1, Fat Sugar, Klone, Caline Timmy, EXH Glove.. might as well grab something different from them??

Yeah, I slightly prefer 808 vs TS9 but it isn't much different. A little warmer and slightly less gain. Go for the microamp clone.

i think im digging this thing??

Love Brett Kingman vids!!! Adding that bias knob for some sag was a good idea. Looks like a good choice!!!
I wonder how it works as a boost for other pedals?
