What do they go for these days? (Heck, I might as well keep my eyes peeled in Craigslist if any bargains crop up.) -Chuck   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 10:24 am:    A vintage TS808 can go for more than $400. mk   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 12:16 pm:    I've never heard anyone talking about a "very rare pre TS808 Ibanez Overdrive II" pedal before. What's the scoop?   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 2:35 pm:    Neither did I Johns, but there's a tool for such things: Googly, googly... Tata...! http://www.analogman.com/tshist.htm Hmmm... interesting!

I think there may be an orange TS808-related pedal too. mk   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 3:54 pm:    So can I assume that the "spaghetti" Ibanez logo is an indication of rarity/value for old effects? I'm willing to keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist if I can score a $400 pedal for, say, $50. -Chuck   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 5:00 pm:    Good luck - get one for me too! mk   Roadartstar Username: Roadartstar Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 5:54 pm:    these are worth that i have both they are precursors to the ts808 the orange is harder to find usually around 250 -350 sometimes higher i like them a lot however they run on batteries only no 9v adaptors (these early models) the later early 80's have an adaptor for a plug they sound very 70's distortion not very transparent like everything ibanez andvintage they are going up in price   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 11:38 pm:    I was gonna say, if the buyer thought he was getting an early vesrion of the TS-808 then he has a surprise coming. Tip. Run your pedals on regular 9v batteries and not the alkaline versions. They sound better. six   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 11:49 pm:    I'm not sure if this is the orange one I was thinking of: Ebay Item #110171799406 mk   Roadartstar Username: Roadartstar Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 8:43 am:    yes that is the rare orange OD-850 i have a mint one it sounds nothing like the TS-808 much more thick and heavy sounding sustain the green one overdrive II is OD-855 also very heavy 70's distortion not like SRV's ts-808 that everyone seems to want both are hard to find and command good prices usually min 250.00 so anything under that is a good price. ( i used to call the orange one the Holy grail of ibby pedals after owning it for awhile i dont use it that much and definitely over rated not really a holy grail in terms of sound just rarity but they do pop up occasionally and are kinda neat.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 10:05 am:    My experience is that no two OD pedals sound the same, even if they are the same model with the same chips, etc. It's very frustrating. I have a friend who has a beat up vintage TS9 with an AnalogMan mod. It has the creamiest, warmest sound. With all the OD pedals I have, including the same exact pedal with the same exact mod, none sound like my friend's pedal, and he won't part with his. mk   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 2:38 am:    The one I linked to sold for $300 with BIN. Wow. -Chuck
