The Sabbadius 80 Overdrive Tone is an overdrive pedal made by Sabbadius. The maker describes it as a versatile overdrive that ranges from warm sounds for blues to sharp, cutting sounds for rock1.
What it does
Sabbadius positions the 80 Overdrive Tone against the Ibanez Tube Screamer family. According to the maker, it offers more boost than the TS-808 and TS-9, a more varied tone control, a sharper Drive control, and more marked registers1. The maker is explicit that it is not a copy of either Ibanez pedal:
"NO ES UN TS-808, ni TS-9, NO ES UN CLONE"
The newer version of the pedal improved on the previous version with better Tone and Drive controls1. An earlier demo from the channel also shows an 80's Overdrive Tone used alongside other Sabbadius pedals, including a Mr. White, a Funky Vibe and a wah-wah mod2.
Sabbadius has since built other overdrives in this lane, including the El Toro Overdrive, its take on the Tube Screamer circuit.
