{"product_id":"seymour-duncan-effects-805-od-overdrive-213180","title":"805-OD - 805 OVERDRIVE","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Take on the \"808-style\" Overdrive\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 805 Overdrive belongs to the large family of overdrives inspired by \"808-style\" circuits, known for their singing grain and ability to push an amp. Where the 805 stands out is its more modern approach: an extended gain range and especially a 3-band active EQ, much more precise than a simple tone potentiometer. The result: you can keep the DNA of a classic overdrive while finely adjusting the lows, mids, and highs to your guitar, pickups, and amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For, and In Which Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Seymour Duncan 805 is designed for guitarists who want \u003cstrong\u003ea single overdrive pedal capable of covering everything\u003c\/strong\u003e : blues, classic rock, hard rock, modern metal, prog, and even more \"session\" contexts where you need to switch from subtle boost to denser drive. It works equally well in the studio (for cleanly stacking takes) and live, thanks to its EQ that helps instantly find the right balance in an unfamiliar PA or backline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits both intermediate musicians looking for a simple yet highly adjustable pedal and advanced guitarists seeking a \u003cstrong\u003esculpting solution\u003c\/strong\u003e to tighten the low end, scoop mids for a metal riff, or conversely push the mids for a standout solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Ergonomics, and Pedalboard Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interface is straightforward and effective: \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the output volume (perfect for boosting an amp input), \u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the saturation, and the active EQ with \u003cstrong\u003eBass, Middle, Treble\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you reshape the character without locking yourself into a single curve. This is precisely what makes the difference: you can refine the grain and retain body, or keep a generous drive while avoiding excessive bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003eTrue Bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 805 integrates easily into an effects chain: at the start for a boost and shaping, before distortion to tighten the low end, or at the end of the drive section to finalize the tonal balance. The power supply accepting up to 18V is a real plus on a modern pedalboard: more dynamics, cleaner sound, and a feeling of an amp that breathes more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 805 offers a \u003cstrong\u003emeaty, precise, and articulated\u003c\/strong\u003e overdrive. As a clean boost, it adds punch and controllable presence, ideal for \"working\" a tube amp without flabbiness. In crunch, the grain remains clear and snappy, with an attack that follows palm-muted playing and fast phrasing well. Increasing the Drive yields a denser saturation, suitable for big rock and metal, especially if you use the EQ to control the lows and place the mids exactly where you want them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3-band EQ is key: it allows you to shift from a warm, round bluesy tone to a more modern, sharper register without falling into harsh highs. Regarding references, the 805 has notably been spotted in setups of guitarists like \u003cstrong\u003eTosin Abasi\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePlini\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMike Einziger\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eChris Shiflett\u003c\/strong\u003e, proof of its ability to cover very different needs, from precise modern tones to more direct rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
