sighs... what tone sucking attributes are you talking about?
Tone suck happens only when you hear treble loss in the Bypass state NOT the Effected state. What everyone is raving about is the EFFECTED sound of the 808 pedal. Not the BYPASSED sound.
the real deal 808 mod does not even does anything to tone suck. it just change the output impedance of the effected sound.
what I'm trying to reiterate here is that the 808 conversion mod does not do anything significant to the sound esp if you're running it thro a solid state amp.
what makes a difference is mods on the other sections that makes a difference.
EDIT:
what I'm trying to do here is to dispell the urban myth of the 808 pedal.
if users continue to rave about their emperors new clothes... there's really nothing i can do.
