From Maxon:
It's an undisputed fact that countless Metal & extreme music guitarists have used Maxon overdrives to pummel their amps and sculpt their tones with surgical precision.
So who better to modify a Maxon pedal for optimum performance with high-gain amps than one of the industry’s foremost amp designers?
We're extremely stoked to announce the release of the Maxon Custom Shop, Fortin-modded OD808 Overdrive.
For years, many of our friends and artists have been raving about Fortin Amplification and their monstrous tones. So, when we ran into Mike Fortin at the 2020 NAMM show, the first thing we did was pitch him on the idea of doing a mod for a Maxon pedal.
Mike enthusiastically agreed, and one pandemic-stricken mess of a year later, the Fortin-modded OD808 has finally become a reality.
The first thing you'll notice about the Fortin OD808 is that it is LOUD. I mean, REALLY loud. Like, obscene, window-shattering, tinnitus-inducing, end-of-the-universe LOUD.
This excessive output level simply pulverizes the front-end of any amplifier, torturing tones out of tubes that must be heard to be believed.
The use of red LED's in place of the standard clipping diodes allows the Fortin OD808 to offer a fully clean boost when the Drive control is set to zero. When Drive is increased, these red LED’s also offer a more natural-sounding, tube-like clipping than standard diodes.
The Fortin OD808 has also been voiced with an enhanced upper midrange, accentuating higher-order harmonics for more articulate pick attack
With a few simple yet strategic component swaps, Mike Fortin has taken a legendary overdrive and converted it into an essential component in the quest for crushing crunch. The Fortin-modded Maxon OD808 - sheer brutality in a box.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.
If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.
If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).
Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.
Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.
We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!
We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! If you have any questions, we’re here for you!
