The original was a TS808 with a few minor mods. It had an added cap to allow more low end. The bold switch is a symmetric/asymetric switch and the hollow switches between a .22uf to ground pre tone with a 1k->.15 to ground. The hype machine at work.

Absolutely brilliant marketing though lol

Well maybe except hiking the price from $199 to $299 for a "20% improvement in tone"

It was honestly quite underwhelming boosting a Marshall. The added lowend actually makes it cut less than a standard 808. The Asym is a silicon on one side and a germanium on the other. For boosting a Marshall, less clipping is better than more. And as for a rare opamp that can never be found, why obscure it? I used a 1983 JRC4558 on my last build, and I can’t see how a different opamp would be better in that circuit. Opamps differences are subtle to begin with. It was the pedal that drove my to build my take on that circuit. For what there going for used and touted as “designed to work on a Marshall” is disingenuous.

Agreed. Not a pedal I'd use to boost anything. Or use at all, really.

So, I've played one of these before, and was seriously underwhelmed. It broke up exactly like a tube screamer except with more low end, which kind of defeats the purpose of a tube screamer, at least how I've used them.

I totally get the use-case of 808 style circuits, I own a couple of them. I guess I just didn't hear a difference worth anywhere near that kind of scratch. There's been a couple of pedals like this, magic toan boxes that are basically just 808s, and I don't understand the appeal. Someone does though, cuz someone has to be buying the things for so many companies to produce them.
