Fan of the original circuit of the TS-808, need a little more Grind ? Try this 2-in-1.

A GrindR pushing a TS-808 Hot Rod. Get the best of both pedals.

GrindR : Wanna boost ? 20db of clean boost, with a bypassable (left switch) preamp (bass and treble control). Switch between the original “Grind” or the “33” EQ.

"Honker" Hot Rod : Classic TS-808 clone with Volume, Gain and Tone control. Hot Rod mod including Fat selection (with left toggle) and clipping mode toggle (Diode, op amp, classic). JRC4558 chip, high quality alpha pots.

Power consumption : 28mA

Voltage : 9Vdc center négative only. Anything higher will blow some stuffs.

2020-06-02 UPDATE : We are now producing two versions, one with standard GrindR pushing the 808 and one with the parallel switch and Mix Knob, to run both circuits in parallel. Have a look at the demo below. The parallel mode is activated with the pedal center switch (Left is parallel, right is standard serial mode). The Mix knob allows you to blend between the left circuit and the right one, center is 50-50.

Excellent TS 808

I am not a big fan of the TS808 circuit. Many guitarist have a love-hate relationship with it. However, this pedal exceeds TS808 expectations because it is slightly modded. In addition, the grinder and 33 option boost Exceeds any expectations I might have. It’s very subtle, but it works well opening up not just a TS 808, but other petals as well. The boost combined has a retail value of $400 alone.

Superb!

I have had several TS pedals, to include; Bad Monkey, Green Scream & Plush OD. The Mad Honker does what a TS should do. I know as soon as I plug in, if the pedal is a keeper. The Mad Honker is a keeper. Most, if not all guitarists have a love/hate with the poplular TS-808 circuit. This pedal achieves what others have tried to do. The boost, in comparison to the FD2, is phenomenal. It allows cascading with a Tonebone Plexitube. The OD circuit plays very, very well with OD channels. Orange TH30. Not a lot, just a little, 9 or 10 O'clock, for enough saturation on OD channel. Clean channel the OD is TS-808 perfection, if that is what your into. I prefer the 33 setting. The GR I will likely have to find setting on another amp/guitar. My search finally over. And at a decent price. I bought new impulse buy, which I almost NEVER do.

I love this overdrive pedal or should I says pedals!

This pedal does so much it’s crazy. It’s like having several of the best overdrives and having the ability to blend them all in one pedal. I’m super impressed with this pedal!!

Amazing Pedal

Blew my mind how good this pedal sounds. Seems very well made. Knobs turn smoothly and switches are nice and tight... like a tiger. And the thing sounds amazing. Will definitely be buying more from GUPtech!

Mad Honker

Really enjoying this pedal, never used any OD in front of my amp before and am still figuring a lot of it's options out but very pleased with the build quality and sound I'm getting out of it so far. Will definitely be making future orders with Guptech.
