Features:
Sound Quality:
Buttery smooth, just like a Tube Screamer should be.  Try two of these cascaded for a heavier sound.  It sounds great!  I use this with a Squier HH Strat and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe set to a nice vintage clean tone.  I then use the Tube Screamer as my only overdrive.  You can get a nice bluesy grind on lower distortion settings, and a nice buttery overdrive on higher settings.
Reliability/Durability:
The reissue 808's should be just as reliable as the originals.  As far as the mod goes, Eric stands behind his work.  I have confidence that it won't be a problem if something should go wrong, not that it will :).
Ease of Use:
You know the drill!  3 knobs...drive, tone, and volume.
Customer Support:
Eric, the owner/designer/builder, was very quick in responding to my e-mails regarding what his mod actually does, and seems very professional.  Help is just a click away on the homepage of his website http://www.martinguitareffects.com
Overall Rating:
This pedal is one of the best purchases I've made in a while.  I've tried all the popular overdrives, but this one has just that extra "something".  When I asked, Eric said his goal was for this pedal to be the closest to true vintage 808 tone with enhanced clarity and transparency.  I think he has definitely achieved that goal.
