Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer TO800 is a vintage tube screamer-style overdrive pedal based on the iconic Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer circuit, one of the most influential overdrive designs in guitar history. The TS808 topology produces a warm, mid-focused overdrive with smooth compression and natural sustain, historically used as a boost into a cranked tube amplifier for blues and classic rock. Associated with the tones of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore, the Tube Screamer voicing adds a pronounced midrange hump that helps single-coil guitars cut through a band mix. The TO800 provides the TS808 circuit character at budget pricing.
