CONNECTION DIAGRAM
*
Input jack to connect to the output of
guitar, other effects or related equipment.
The product automatically turns on when
a plug is inserted into this jack. When
not in use, disconnect plug from input
jack to preserve battery life.
Controls the amount of Distortion -
Rotate this knob clockwise for more
distortion.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
INDICATOR
(bypass/effect LED indicator)
The LED lights when effect is on. The
light is turned off at bypass status. LED
brightness synchronizes with battery
condition.
Switch for effect on/off. Stepping on this
switch alternately turns effects on (LED
on) and off (LED off).
No LED light indicates the battery is
low or not installed. In this case
replace the battery.
Controls the amount of high/low frequencies
- Turn this knob clockwise for more high
frequencies and counterclockwise for more
low frequencies.
Controls output level of effected tone -
Typically output levels of both normal
tone and effected tone should be
adjusted to equal levels.
Jack for connection of external power
supply to effect.
Turn down amplifier’s volume to the
minimum before connecting AC
adaptor to the product in order not to
damage other connected equipment.
OD808X operates on one 9V battery (6F22 or 6LF22).
Follow the procedures below to replace a battery.
Be sure the battery is firmly connected to battery snap
with the correct polarities.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Turn down the volume of effect and amplifier to the
minimum before connecting Maxon effects to guitar,
amplifier or other effects in order not to damage
other connected equipment by unintended noise.
When not in use, disconnect plug from input jack to
preserve battery.
Take out the battery if the product is not used for a
long period of time.
No or dark LED light indicates the battery is low or not
installed. In this case replace the battery to avoid
poor effect or distorted signal.
Be sure to use the correct Maxon AC adaptor. Use
of any other adaptor may cause trouble.
Do not try to remove screws.

OD808X Overdrive Extreme
OD808X is based on the mild and natural drive sound of Maxon’s
classic OD808 circuit.
OD808X offers more gain and harder clipping than standard
OD808, creating amp-like distortion with excellent note definition
and clarity.
LED to indicate bypass/effect and battery condition for trouble-free
performance.
OD808X offers a different frequency response than the OD808,
with an extended hi-frequency tonal range. This added range has
been carefully tuned to provide clarity without becoming harsh, and
it accentuates high-gain settings.
Made in Japan.
Operates with 9V battery or standard AC adaptor for 9V (not
included).
OD808X features buffered, JFET bypass switching with a low
impedance output, allowing it to drive long cable lengths or other
effect units without loss of signal.
