    10 Document Revisions INTRODUCTION The Stratus Classic Overdrive is a recreation of the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, first released in 1979 as the OD-808 Overdrive by Maxon and then later licensed to Ibanez. Originally designed to compete with the Boss OD-1 Overdrive, the TS-808 and TS-9 added the now- famous tone control, but are otherwise very similar to the OD-1 with regards to the feedback diode- clipping arrangement.
