Duncan 805 User Manual
Congratulations, and thank you for your purchase of the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive™ Pedal!
The 805 is a very transparent, classic Overdrive pedal designed using the legendary 808
chip as a starting point but with an expanded gain range and 3-band active EQ that is not
commonly found in 808 style overdrive pedals.
The gain range extends from 8dB to 36dB, allowing for a wide range of overdrive options
from mild boost to saturated lead gain. The active EQ circuit is designed to allow players full
access to be able to fine-tune all elements of the low, mid and high frequency content.
Typical applications for the 805 Overdrive include:
• Use for frequency contouring. Set up a frequency response that works well for
saturated overdrive sounds.
• Use to boost level into single channel or clean amps to push them into overdrive and
create essentially two channels.
• Use the pedal's own smooth distortion to create a rich, saturated tone even at lower
volume levels, with amps that don't have separate gain and master knobs.
