Our goal with OVRDRV: 808 Techno was to create a collection of high quality 808 Samples and then destroy and mangle them in as many ways we could think of and to create completely new edgy, inspirational sounds including Deep Kicks, Ultra Low Subs, Overdriven Synths, Distorted Bass, Filtered Drone FX. This pack gives producers a fresh new arsenal of the dirty, gritty 808 sound! We painstakingly ran the 808’s through a gauntlet of studio tools including distortion pedals, bass amps, guitar amps, filters, LFO’s and delay and reverb units. In this pack you can expect to find a massive 180 samples with Short and Long versions for instant use as Kicks or Bass all perfectly tuned and labelled with Key information ready to be dropped into your track.
