Description


Visual Sound's Route 808 overdrive pedal is designed to accurately reproduce the sound of the original TS-808 Tubescreamer. But the Route 808 pedal gives you a bass-boost switch and far more output volume than the original plus you get Visual Sound's proprietary tone-sweetening ingredients.

The V2 Route 808 is one channel of Double Trouble in a single pedal. The Route 808 overdrive is Visual Sound's interpretation of the TS-808 with level knobs for Drive, Tone and Volume.

The V2RT808 Overdrive Pedal features a die-cast aluminum housing, ultra-reliable 10-million cycle switching, easy battery access, circuit protection from AC adapters, and a wide and sturdy stomp switch. Bass boost can be switched on or off easily. 1/4" jacks in and out.

Features:
• Drive level
• Tone control

• Diecast aluminum housing
• 10 million cycle switching
• Easy battery access

Closest Store   Winnipeg (Pembina), Manitoba
Picked this OD up after playing every overdrive they had in stock at the winnipeg location. What really sold me, other than the sticker price, was the fact that this sounds good across the board. You can dime the gain and get a saturated, nearly fuzz tone, or bring it all the way down for a fairly clean boost. A/B with ts 808 I was able to nail pretty much every tone and then some. At first i wasnt too sure about the whole non true bypass thing, but the bypass buffer is amazing for preventing signal loss across a long chain. The casing is heavy duty, theres a youtube vid of one of these being run over by a truck then plugging in and going. I managed to lose the tone knob letting this pedal flop around loose in my gig bag, but that is a purely cosmetic issue, and my feet don't care how pretty the things they stomp on are. My ears care about how pretty the sound is, and it is plenty pretty. I run my settings at gain 4-5 and tone about 6 with a strat with the bass boost switch engaged, with the les paul I flip off the BB and roll off the gain a little bit. This setting allows me to go from a convincing clean to smooth grain od using only the guitar volume. The volume on this pedal is pretty ample, keeping it at about 4 is balanced on/off, if you crank the vol to 10, we're talking seriously loud.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
