Incredibly powerful, great-sounding overdrive based on the iconic TS-808.

Visual Sound's Route 808 overdrive pedal is designed to accurately reproduce the sound of the original TS-808 Tubescreamer. But the Route 808 pedal gives you a bass-boost switch and far more output volume than the original plus you get Visual Sound's proprietary tone-sweetening ingredients.

The V2 Route 808 is one channel of Double Trouble in a single pedal. The Route 808 overdrive is Visual Sound's interpretation of the TS-808 with level knobs for Drive, Tone and Volume.

The V2RT808 Overdrive Pedal features a die-cast aluminum housing, ultra-reliable 10-million cycle switching, easy battery access, circuit protection from AC adapters, and a wide and sturdy stomp switch. Bass boost can be switched on or off easily. 1/4" jacks in and out.

• Drive level
• Tone control
• Volume level
• Bass boost on/off switch
• Diecast aluminum housing

I compared this with the Ibanez,Maxon and many others before buying. For my ear this had the liquid gain I was looking for over many years. I run this in front of a Marshall DSL 100 through a Boss L2 loop switcher for leads. Volume: cranked tone: 12:30 drive: cranked Bass switch on Great price compared to the boutique pedals, but still has the upgrades you would want. Solid chassis. I also own the V2 Angry Fuzz. I would suggest this pedal!

I have tried this pedal with a CP50's and CP60's strat through a Fender blues jr. amp and must say that I am really impressed with this pedal. It gives you all the TS808 and TS-9 tones and a whole lot more for around the same price if not less (808). The pedal is built well, is quiet, has a bright blue LED, silent switching and has a tone knob that actually gives you multiple tones from it. I have tried MXR, Boss, Ibanez and others and found that the tone knob went from muddy to shrill instantly. Not with this one. You get dark and warm all the way to chimey and clear. I also liked the bass boost although it only works with certain tones otherwise it gets to muddy and unusable. The bypass is also great. It doesn't mess with the natural tone like others do. I am sending this pedal back only to get the VS Double Trouble which is this pedal times 2. I can now have a Fender clean + a slight gritty overdrive + a thick singing lead tone. Great job VS, I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tubescreamer and a whole lot more.

Great high output OD pedal

When I first got this pedal and played it, it colored my tone and gave a flat sound. However, as the pedal got broken in, it's true great tone came through. Really transparent when off, not too noisy when on. This pedal is a great compliment to the light OD I get from my Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive, and the two of them used together sound awesome. This pedal also works really well before a distortion pedal for palm muting. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.
