Maxon OD-9 Series Overdrive

Product Information

The effects editing on this is simple, There's three knobs, Gain, Tone and Level. The setup is pretty simple, just plug it in and go. The manual is very short, and almost unnecessary.

Everything said about this legendary t overdrive in my case it's hand through Santana much more experienced era in the 80's I discovered this pedal. It was only later that I discovered that Stevie Ray Vaughan was also used. Another story, few people around me used it in the 80's because the Ibanez pedals were rarer and more chres the Boss pedals. This is Maxon's original model with not that many extra features and there are several different ones with more options (that's why -1 on the features) but it all depends on what you require.... for me the more simple, the better. I would do if this choice? Ben must follow the guys, that was my Christmas! Will have to wait a year now for the next! Anyway, again thank you baby Jesus, and happy birthday for the 25!Big interest of the pedal adds a lot of grain to your sound. Your sound is bland? Add this little wonder to color this! Build quality is the best I've come across,Maxon were the original manufacturer of the Ibanez 9 range and these are better built than current Ibanez ..... Eventually, the commercial relationship between the two firms grew stronger in the 1970s, to a point where Hoshino Gakki (owner of the Ibanez™ brand) became Nisshin Onpa’s most important client. In 1979 Nisshin Onpa developed the legendary Ibanez™ Tube Screamer TS-808 overdrive, while also selling it under their own brand in Japan as the Maxon OD-808 Overdrive. This pedal became a worldwide success and was seen on pedal boards everywhere. Stevie Ray Vaughan used two of them in series on his board, plus other famous guitarists like Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Santana, Rory Gallagher, Steve Stevens and Marty Friedman, just to mention a few, were using it too. I compared to the Maxon history, the one with the old style guitar (they both have the circuit JRC4558IC, it seems that the Grail is that thing), I preferred this one, had my vintage snobbery suffer ... It is less sweet and a little wider spectrum found, but it has to play fourth-hair calf ant.

Input is fed into a 2SC1815 emitter/follower transistor to optimize the signal’s impedance structure. From here it’s on to the first section of an NJM 4558D Op Amp – NJM is the company formerly known as the Japan Radio Corporation (JRC) – the legendary manufacturer that designed and built tons of these components in the late 70’s/early 80’s.Maybe someone would say that's bull because they're both just tubescreamers, blah blah blah. I've heard all that before and I still disagree. Let your ears determine what sounds good. All I can tell you is I've been through all those and I told you what I prefer and why.
