I think the Ibanez TS 808 is grossly overpriced, theres no way I'm going to pay $170 for a box of capacitors and resistors. Don't get me wrong, its a great sounding pedal, but I'm confident a comparable pedal can be had for less money. The ones I have been looking at are the Digitech Hardwire Tube Overdrive, Digitech Bad Monkey, and the MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive, all used of course tongue.gif

So does anybody have any experience with these pedals, or have any other recommendation?
