Set the 808 to an EQ with the low end around 45-50 hertz? That might be a start but I'll stick around to learn from others.

Learn all of the effect you can.
Learn all the names of the digital drums you can.
This one can be made with distortion or bitcrush on a regular kick.
Do this all the time in kong

I would guess that the 808 was SLAMMED through some kind of harsh limiter, like an 1176 on all buttons mode with all knobs turned all the way right. Then they turned it up and EQed to taste. That should get you in the ballpark..

Ah good ol 808's. The truth is that it's most likely different for each mix, an 808 in one song can't always be transferred to your other mix's.
Some things you can try - Parallel compression or what the guy above said, saturation, EQ, limiting, and virtually anything else you can think of thats relevant.
Oh and good drum samples, this might just be the most important thing. Most likely the sample he used already sounded good like that.
