Maxon OD-9 Series Overdrive

Product Information

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. Potentiomtres three and a switch: four reasons to read the manual. Seriously, the manual is clear (although in English) but we can manage without aisment. True Bypass Switching - Mechanical true bypass switching allows your signal to pass through a non-electronic bypass line when the effect is disengaged, feeding your amp with direct unaltered signal from your instrument.

Another story, few people around me used it in the 80's because the Ibanez pedals were rarer and more chres the Boss pedals. What about the sound? Everyone knows, that's great on any amp, all on a fabulous lamp. Compared to my 808, the OD9 seems to have a bit more gain and be slightly more transparent boost. But does not play big thing. I use a Start Plus, an LP, a Lag Roxanne, on a Variax Koch amps lamps and Garen.

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.

The OD-9 features Mechanical True Bypass switching via a Fujisoku 4PDT switch – input signal is sent to ground when bypassed. Die Cast Zinc Chassis - Ergonomic design protects controls while providing easy switching access. Rubber bottom pad prevents accidental movement while in use. 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.Since their introduction in the early 1980s, Maxon Nine Series designs have achieved a legendary status with pedal connoisseurs around the globe. The reasons for this are simple - superior sound quality and innovative features that offer a seamless interface between performer and performance. 20 years later this rule still holds true. Now available with improved circuitry including JRC4558 IC chips and True Bypass Switching, Maxon Nine Series effects remain the standard by which all others are judged. I put a good quality score sheets and good response from the pedal to most power supplies (rather than 9V ...) Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. is a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. based in the USA. It cannot be ruled out that your data collected by Facebook will also be transmitted to the USA. The TOD also features Maxon’s In-Rush Current Control system - As soon as power is applied to the pedal, a small current is applied to the tube and begins heating it at a very low voltage (much like a tube amp standby switch) - This system dramatically extends the tube life. 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.

Three knobs and a switch has contrler should go for the most experienced pedal (almost) in the world. Like the original, the current production OD-9 features the NJM (JRC) 4558D Op Amp – an essential component for authentic “TS” tone. The NJM is smoother sounding and less compressed than other Op Amps, offering superior sound quality with low noise. The TOD features a mil-spec 5703WB JAN Raytheon sub-miniature vacuum tube complete with its own separate Gain control (Tube knob). This tube stage is positioned at the front of the audio path, driving the OD-9 circuit. Like the OD808, the OD-9 provides the natural, mild overdrive of a tube amp without sacrificing the guitar's original tone. It can also be used as a clean booster to provide increased gain from an amplifier.General Setup could not be more simple and less original. For players to tap a little hardened, turn the knobs with your feet is as difficult as a boss, it will teach you, you bunch of lazy. 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 ..... The sound quality is fantastic, although the pedals respcte the sound of the guitar and the ampli.Je used with a Start to find the sounds of SRV, if not with a 335 to "scream "The PAF or with a telecaster riffs to make way Keith Richards.Bref this is not one like the other pedals, that is THE essential pedals.

The OD808 has the traditional buffers, however Maxon has deviated from the 808 formula by changing the two output resistors to reduce noise levels. The result is that the new values make the OD808 electronically identical to an original TS9, rather than a TS808. LED Power/Battery Life Indicator - Ultra bright LED indicates effect status (on/off). Dim or no LED indicates that the battery is low or not installed.This is the ultimate overdrive, I can only put a 10? I will stay at 9, for among those I had the opportunity to try, there are not comparable because they are too different and complementary (Fulltone OCD, very straight, Muffin EHX Français, color different, a blast and an ordeal for the pedalboard, Marshall BB2, low-mids, more compressed the grain, which I keep next to the green box, and others), and then others that are clearly in the same court: Jacques Tubeblower, a bit more expensive but with more finesse and gain a wonder that deserves its 10, as well as the T-Rex Mudhoney, which has its own color, less close to OD9, but puts everyone agrees with its unconventional musicality. AC/DC Power Operation - Power using 9-volt battery (supplied) or AC adapter (Maxon AC210N optional).
