The BYOC 855 Drive is a pedal based on the OD-855, which is similar to the Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer but with more gain, less mids, and more low end. The kit uses the 4558D chip, 1N60 germanium clipping diodes, and tantalum caps in the same places as the original OD855. The only differences are that the BYOC 855 Drive has true mechanical bypass instead of FET bypass, and it uses higher quality film caps instead of 1uf electrolytic caps in the signal path. The original OD855 pedals are now very expensive, so this kit offers a more affordable way to experience the legendary Ibanez effect.
