Maxon released the OD808 in 1979 and it generates natural, mild overdrive tones and is similar to the TS808. Original units used MC1458P ICs, but I’ve listed JRC4558s as they’re likely to be on hand for many of you. Also the original diodes were Panasonic MA150. I’ve listed 1N4148s as a replacement, but socket and experiment there. I’ve read of people using 1N60Ps or similar germanium diodes to give it an even more tube-like sound.
