Maxon FX OD-9 Overdrive

The Maxon OD-9 Overdrive Pedal features an exact recreation of the original circuitry with the intuitive addition of true bypass switching. This little green stompbox has been a mainstay on countless pedalboards throughout the years from Andy Summers to Troy van Leeuwen to Jim Root the wide array of users show the pedals sheer versatility. The clas... moresic three-knob layout makes it easy to dial in a range of overdriven tones- from light mid-boost to give your tone an edge through to full-blown sludgy distortion the OD9 has mastered low-medium gain drive. The only difference between the OD9 and the original OD808 is the output section which was altered to give the OD9 a more modern feel. This makes the outputted sound brighter and slightly less rounded so its all down to personal preference. If youre after a smooth response with warm dynamics the OD808 is the way to go whereas if you want something a bit sharper that aids in cutting through a mix the OD9 is your best bet.
