The 250-X features the same Gain and Level control potentiometer values and tapers as the original OD250, providing the familiar control knob feel and range that users have come to expect. The 250-X includes the new 3-position toggle switch that not only faithfully replicates the original 250 stock “SILICON” mode but also includes two additional modes for additional versatility. The “ASYM” mode provides an entirely different asymmetrical even-harmonic distortion characteristic. The third toggle switch selection is a “LIFT” mode, which eliminates diode clipping entirely from the signal path, providing a clean boost at moderate levels, or even a “dirty” boost as you drive the LM741 op-amp into clipping at higher gain settings.

Key Features

  • 3 Overdrives in 1 – 3-way toggle switch for traditional SILICON, ASYM (Asymmetrical), and LIFT which eliminates diode clipping entirely from the signal path, providing a clean boost at moderate levels, or even a “dirty” boost as you drive the LM741 op-amp into clipping at higher gain settings.
  • Most Versatile 250 Ever – From clean boosts and subtle grit to heavy distortion, this is the most versatile and expressive 250 pedal ever made.

Three Modes

At its heart the 250-X keeps the same Gain and Level controls that made the original a classic, while expanding the sonic palette with a three-position toggle switch:

  • SILICON – symmetrical clipping for the iconic 250 sound
  • ASYM – asymmetrical clipping for rich, even-harmonic distortion
  • LIFT – removes diode clipping for a clean boost at moderate settings or a dirty boost at higher levels, pushing the vintage-style LM741 op amp

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

Guitar Pedals

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.
