Maxon OD-9 Overdrive Pedal

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 classic 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.
