OD808 mkIII
The OD808 mkIII is a dual-channel overdrive/distortion pedal featuring two legendary effects: the OCD and TS808. It offers a variety of switchable mods, top-mounted jacks, a compact enclosure, and a smart bypass system that allows you to easily change the effects order or activate both effects with a single footswitch.
The OCD is known for its rich sound, characterized by slightly scooped mids, deep lows, and bright highs. The gain control is particularly versatile, offering a barely noticeable overdrive at the minimum setting, mid-gain at 12 o’clock, and saturated distortion with the drive turned all the way up.
The Screamer is a classic choice for adding warmth to an overdriven amplifier and works exceptionally well in front of the OCD.

Description
Controls
The OD808 mkIII has two independent channels: blue for OCD and red for Tube Screamer.
Each channel has volume, tone, and drive knobs, as well as a toggle switch. The upper row of knobs and the left toggle switch control the red channel, while the lower row of knobs and the right toggle switch control the blue channel.
1. Drive — Controls the amount of distortion.
2. Tone — Controls the amount of brightness. Right is brighter, left is darker.
3. Volume — Controls the output volume.
4. Screamer fat — toggle left to add lows.
5. OCD mid-boost — toggle right to cut to boost volume and brighten the sound.
6 и 7. Bypass — the right footswitch activates the first effect in the chain. the left one activates the second effect.
8. Side switch. Screamer mode selection. Transparent mode is up; ts808 is down.
Power supply — 9-18VDC center negative, 40mA current draw.
DIP switches
DIP-switches will help you to tailor your sound to your needs. The upper switch is for Screamer, and the lower for OCD.
Screamer
1. Turn the first toggle up for symmetrical clipping; turn down for asymmetrical. Symmetrical clipping gives you a more squished sound.
2. Second toggle disables a diode clipping section in lower position. It gives you less gain and more volume.
OCD
1. Turn the first toggle up to cut the mids.
2. Turn the second toggle up to boost the lows.
3. Turn the third toggle up for hard clipping; turn it down for soft clipping. The effect is more noticeable on higher gain settings.
4. Toggle the fourth toggle up for vintage voicing mode, which slightly attenuates sharp highs. Toggle down for modern voicing.
Bypass modes
The OD808 mkIII has a smart bypass which can operate in three modes:
Normal Mode
The right footswitch activates the first effect in the chain, and the left footswitch activates the second. The LED color indicates which effect is turned on.
To change the effect order, turn on the left effect and hold the left footswitch. The LED colors will swap, as will the order of the effects. To enter double mode, turn on the right effect and hold the right footswitch. The right LED will change its color to purple, and you’re done.
Double Mode
In this mode, the right footswitch activates both effects, while the left footswitch works only with a long press to change the effect order. The color of the left LED indicates the first effect in the chain. To switch to the next mode, turn on the effect with the right footswitch and then press and hold it.
A/B Mode
In this mode, the left footswitch activates only one effect, while the right footswitch changes the active channel with a single click. The left LED turns purple when the effect is on, and the color of the right LED indicates the currently selected channel. To return to normal mode, activate the effect with the left footswitch and then press and hold it.
Screamer Transparent Mode
The Screamer channel can operate in two modes: classic TS808 and transparent. You can select the mode using the toggle switch on the left side of the pedal. The upper position activates transparent mode, while the lower position selects TS808 mode. In transparent mode, you get less gain, a reduced midrange hump characteristic of the Screamer, and significantly more presence. This makes the red channel an excellent low-gain overdrive, which can be used on its own, as a booster/toneshaper placed after the OCD, or as a warming drive in front of the OCD to add more gain or a thicker sound.
