My guess is no (at least not $400) but then again, I know nothing about vintage Ibby effects. What do they go for these days? (Heck, I might as well keep my eyes peeled in Craigslist if any bargains crop up.)

A vintage TS808 can go for more than $400.

I've never heard anyone talking about a "very rare pre TS808 Ibanez Overdrive II" pedal before. What's the scoop?

I've never owned one. You do see them for sale, but not often. I think there may be an orange TS808-related pedal too.

So can I assume that the "spaghetti" Ibanez logo is an indication of rarity/value for old effects? I'm willing to keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist if I can score a $400 pedal for, say, $50.

these are worth that i have both they are precursors to the ts808 the orange is harder to find usually around 250 -350 sometimes higher i like them a lot however they run on batteries only no 9v adaptors (these early models) the later early 80's have an adaptor for a plug they sound very 70's distortion not very transparent like everything ibanez andvintage they are going up in price

I was gonna say, if the buyer thought he was getting an early vesrion of the TS-808 then he has a surprise coming.

Tip. Run your pedals on regular 9v batteries and not the alkaline versions. They sound better.

yes that is the rare orange OD-850 i have a mint one it sounds nothing like the TS-808 much more thick and heavy sounding sustain the green one overdrive II is OD-855 also very heavy 70's distortion not like SRV's ts-808 that everyone seems to want both are hard to find and command good prices usually min 250.00 so anything under that is a good price. ( i used to call the orange one the Holy grail of ibby pedals after owning it for awhile i dont use it that much and definitely over rated not really a holy grail in terms of sound just rarity but they do pop up occasionally and are kinda neat.

My experience is that no two OD pedals sound the same, even if they are the same model with the same chips, etc. It's very frustrating. I have a friend who has a beat up vintage TS9 with an AnalogMan mod. It has the creamiest, warmest sound. With all the OD pedals I have, including the same exact pedal with the same exact mod, none sound like my friend's pedal, and he won't part with his.
