The Od 808 sounds great-I haven't tried the od9 but it's true bypass, but a different design than the 808. I don't see any reason to pay $169 for the ts808 when the Maxons are every bit as good or better for less. I'd go with one of those-I'm thinking of getting one myself to replace my ts5 with a bad switch. Not sure I really need one since I have a Fulldrive II, but I liked the od808 better for that SRV sound.
Of course, you've opened a can of worms with all the "clones" that are out there which you'll hear about in the next 50 posts.:wave:

What overdrive should i get. The ibanez ts808,the ts9,a maxon od-808,od-9 or a voodoo lab sparcle drive. I want a srv tone.

 

 

 

I think the sparkle drive is a different animal from the rest of 'em here. Thats probably not the best choice for a vintage sound (although I've heard they're sweet, and I'm gonna get one some day). Maybe try the od-808. The od-9 is nice too, but a little more modern.

 

Unless you have a Fender Tube amp, no pedal will get you the SRV tone.

i run emgs into a framus cobra, i want a boost pedal for extra crunch, sustain and overall balls, how does the GREEN SCREAMER compare with the MAXON OD808? also, i gave a behringer vintage overdrive a go, which has the same electronics as the od808, and it sounded pretty good. Any thoughts on this?

Iv also heard good things about the MI Audio Blue boy.

 

p.s. i like the mid-range hump!
