NPD - Maxon OD-820

Just picked this up from Reverb. Killer pedal!!! I only used it with my Skeleton Key on both the low gain and high gain inputs.

Totally different vibe than the typical tube screamer as it doesn’t significantly cut the low end, mids are not as prominent and it retains the amps original tone. It is supposed to be a combination of a Tube Screamer and a Klon Centaur. I only know of this pedal because of Ola Englund and him trying to get Jeff Loomis’ sound on Dead Heart In A Dead World with this boosting a Dual Rectifier. It was actually Andy Sneap’s pedal as he produced this album. Next up one day a Dual or Triple Rectifier

I built a clone of one of these pedals and it is indeed very nice! It is more tubescreamerish if you keep the gain at 9-10 clock, but lower it is more of a clean boost.

Sneap's go-to for guitar tones was always one of these in front of a rectifier or a 5150.
Word got out, and they got really scarce and expensive for a while.
Glad you found one, and dig the tones.
