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.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
