Overview
Absolutely classic hard-clipping distortion pedal with an immense legacy. This 1986 LM308N is true vintage, and is the real deal. Sounds crazy good, just as you'd expect.
Note: Guitarists often note that the vintage LM308 chip gives this 1980s distortion its classic, biting character—though it is also famously finicky and prone to oscillation.
