Seymour Duncan has developed a new addition that rounds out the pedal lineup it has been working on over the past few years.
The new 805 Overdrive caps off a process of technical improvements and applications based on the chip used in the 808 model.
What's new: an expanded gain range and the addition of a new active three-band equalizer.
Its versatility makes it suitable both for gentle styles such as blues and for heavy ones typical of modern metal; in other words, we can start with the classic overdrive tones we all know and then push it to the extreme to get sparkling highs with excellent note articulation.
In this regard, and unlike other models, the three-band EQ system lets you regain control of the low end and also control the mids and highs.
As for the specifications of Seymour Duncan's new 805 pedal, we'd highlight that it can run on a 9V battery or an AC power supply (9-18V DC) with a current draw of about 4.5 mA; it contains a silicon diode distortion circuit, back-to-back stack; bypass: true bypass; and a gain control range of 8 dB to 36 dB.
The frequencies of its three-band EQ can be broken down into: bass (- 90 Hz + / - 11dB); mids (- 750 Hz + / - 11dB) and treble (- 2.1 kHz + / - 12dB). As for input levels, we have 1 kHz with 12 dB of gain: 0.15%; maximum output before clipping: 0.6Vrms; input impedance: 470K ohms; and output impedance: 1k ohm.
Its dimensions are 2.61" X 4.90" X 1.45", and its weight: -90dBV at the output, ranging from 400 Hz to 20 kHz.
To conclude, we'd note that the brand has announced it will be presented at Summer NAMM. Pro Audio News
