So much more than the tubescreamer you know..
The Maxon OD 820 was intended to be the last word, the cumulation of all Maxon learned, starting with the first TS 808 model.
The larger enclosure to reduce noise, and voltage upped to 20V internally, increasing dynamic range, all with a 9V battery. The three pots Gain, Tone, and Volume, are usable throughout their range, you just won't believe how sweet and musical the range of this Tone pot is. More level/volume on tap to drive your amps input stage, and then the Gain..
On minimum you get a perfectly clean signal coloured with the classic eq curve so essential to lifting your tone in the mix. From here on up its all gravy.. And at 2 o, clock a touch of compression compliments your valve amp that is now singing, a point that with my TS 10 is loosing me vital definition due to the pedals more compressed circuit design. This is not helped by low frequency I just don't need in front of a cooking
Vox AC30, or Marshall 1959.
None of this is an issue with the OD 820, and explains the comparisons with the Klon Centaur.
The OD 820 can work with clean amps, but is less forgiving due to its sensitivity to pick attack and reduced compression requiring a disciplined right hand technique, which holds its own appeal. It does stack really well with other pedals, and combined with something complimentary (I like the Fulltone OCD, Boss SD1, Crowther Hotcake, and my TS 10 pedal can blend to great effect).

Compatible with more amps due to the range of controls
1 of 1 found this helpful This is the fourth treblebooster that's a keeper in my collection, and the first to use silicone as apposed to germanium transistors.
The range on the controls allows you to find the all important sweet spot on your amp ,that for newcomers to this type of pedal could be helpful.
However, there is a musicality to germanium pedals and a Naga Viper option of germanium would be an option I would jump at.
However, with all controls maxed with treble maxed and bass at minimum through my Vox AC30 I can approach a sound that Brian May would probably recognise

Tried the rest ? I may have your solution..
1 of 1 found this helpful I remember hearing about Melatonin yrs ago and despite being prescribed many drugs to help my chronic insomnia with mixed results, forgot about Melatonin until finding it here on eBay.
This is a gentle but V effective treatment. On an empty stomach it gets to work within 20 mins or so and washes relaxation through your body.
This should get you to sleep.
The secondary affect helps keep you asleep, and you wake with no fuzzy or druggie after effects.
The best effects are obtained by using it every other night as your system quickly gets used to the Melatonin.
I experienced no withdrawal symptoms after a month of use.
I recommend this product without reservation.,
