The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250X combines the legendary tone of the original OD250 with expanded tonal flexibility for modern players. Designed around the same Gain and Level control values and tapers as the classic OD250, the 250X delivers the familiar response, feel, and dynamic overdrive that made the original pedal a favourite among guitarists worldwide.
A versatile 3-position toggle switch allows players to select between three distinct clipping modes. The Silicon mode faithfully recreates the classic OD250 overdrive sound, delivering the iconic punch, sustain, and harmonic richness associated with the original circuit.
For a different flavour of drive, the Asym mode introduces asymmetrical clipping, producing enhanced even-order harmonics and a more complex, amp-like distortion character.
The Lift mode removes diode clipping from the signal path entirely, transforming the pedal into a powerful clean boost at lower gain settings. Increasing the gain pushes the LM741 op-amp into natural saturation, creating a dynamic and responsive dirty boost with exceptional touch sensitivity.
This item is pre owned but still in great working order and comes with the original box.
