Get That Perfect Sound with the 805 Overdrive!

Add a hot-rodded and enhanced overdrive to your pedalboard with the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive. Inspired by the legendary green overdrive circuit, the 805 Overdrive delivers the sought-after smooth overdrive tones of the original and much more. A 3-band EQ lets you dial in the perfect tone with a tighter low end, added sparkle, and more detail in note articulation. The gain range has been increased making it great for everything from clean boost to smooth, bluesy overdrive all the way to screaming solo tones. The 805 Overdrive is ideal for pushing an already overdriven amp into sonic bliss - a favorite trick among Sweetwater's guitar tone aficionados. Create and sculpt the overdrive tones that you want and need with the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive pedal!

It’s a tube screamer, but clearer

There is no wrong configuration with this pedal, the controls are very musical and the ranges are wide but not excessive, I previously had a TS9 and although it was good OD, sometimes I wanted to have more treble sound and I couldn't, with this pedal you kill two birds with one shot, sometimes it works as a transparent Booster at others as a powerful and mid-focused Overdrive for solos, plus you get more gain than the TS9
by Fheder from Miami on

This is THE overdrive your looking for

Omg this pedal has a lifetime spot on my pedal board, it really is the main creator of my sound. I love high gain and this 805 just threw it over the roof. What a sound, what a feeling.
by Zac on

Love This Pedal!

Sure, this box will fill the role of the traditional TS, but it does so much more. The 3-band EQ on this thing is very sweet and flexible. I like to keep it clean and stack it ahead of other dirt pedals to give them a nice push during solos, or just on its own to warm up my clean tones. Thank You, Seymour! This is a keeper.
by Douglas P. from Portsmouth, Ohio on

Most coveted for years now!

I love the "quacky" mid-range sound when you turn up the mid. Been using this pedal for years and CAN'T live without it!

I'm Sold!

I was working with a Ibanez TS Mini for a while and was pretty happy, but once I swapped it out for the 805 I immediately realized what I was missing. The drive isn't as muddy as a Tube Screamer (I would run my TS with the drive completely down and the level cranked to compensate) and you can fine tune the frequency response with the EQ to give solos a little more presence live. I think this is definitely an upgrade in my book!
