Description

New Maxon OD-9, with Analog Man classic 808 mod. More options are available to add to this basic model.

Features
The Maxon OD-9 introduced in the summer of '02, is a TS9 (looks exactly the same) with the correct JRC4558D chip, and it had a DPDT switch replacing the FET switching. This early OD-9 had "normal" bypass like an old 70s pedal but does not suck much tone when OFF. Since it is an exact TS9 circuit, we offer the same mods on the OD-9, either the CLASSIC or the SILVER mod, along with KWS option. In about 2004 they changed to an actual 4PDT true bypass switch. This OD-9 should not be confused with the original 1984 Ibanez OD-9 which was not a tube screamer circuit (and very rare, I finally got one for my collection in 2007)

The OD-9 board has many parts removed in preparation for our SILVER mod. Much of it's TS9 circuit board is emptied because it no longer uses the TS9s FET switching. So there is less circuitry in your signal path for a clearer, purer tone. I recommend the OD-9 over the TS9 for best tone both ON and OFF. The true bypass switch is a little different feeling from a Boss or Ibanez switch. Like all true bypass pedals it goes down and back up to switch, unlike a momentary switch which just sends a pulse when you touch it.

The Maxon is made in the same factory that made the TS-808 pedals in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We are not sure where the new TS9 pedals are now made but they stopped saying MAXON in them in 2002. See our Tube Screamer history page for more info.

We have now released the Maxon OD9/808 with an added Bad Bob circuit inside. It's two pedals in one box, the Bad Bob has an added stomp switch on top and either or both can be used. There is a volume knob on the pedal for the booster volume, and a new LED indicator too.

The Bad Bob Booster circuit will not fit in any other pedal like a TS9, only the OD9 because of all the extra room on the circuit board

The Bad Bob pedal is a booster based on the famous and much copied mini-booster "JFET mu-amp" design of Jack Orman (check out his site to learn more). This design was also used as the basis for most other boutique boost pedals.

Here is a picture of the pedal with the optional SILVER mod (signified by the RE-J sticker).

Incredible little thing	July 3, 2009
Reviewer: Matt�Fisher from Lincolnshire,�IL�United States

Love this pedal. The "Silver" mod (JRC chip) really makes this pedal incredible. My favorite sound with this guy is to play on a neck SC. The tone of the pickup itself pierces right through!

Maxon OD-9/808/Silver/KWS Mods	January 25, 2009
Reviewer: Rowan�de Geus from Klundert,�Noord Brabant�Netherlands

Bought November 2008, I never tried it before, I never heard it before. My choice for buying this pedal was purely based on what I read about it and my need for an overdrive pedal. And boy, the juice in this pedal is just what I needed!

It sounds so clean like no effect is in use, the high tones sparkle like a crystal and the lower tones are rolling around dirty. The hardfunk I am able to produce with this baby hits everyone right in the face! It's the perfect balance between my clean Jazzmaster and the Fuzz Factory, and I'm sure this pedal will travel with me for a very long time.

Maxon OD-9/808/Silver Mod. Pedal	January 18, 2008
Reviewer: Travis�Dunn from Altoona,�PA�United States

I found it scary to move from my favorite TS-9/808/silver mod to this pedal, but am so glad that I did. The tone is just as good if not better, the mids are clean and tight. If you are considering getting a TS-9 mod, and feel attached to Ibanez pedals and feel that there is a difference between the OD-9 and a TS-9, you were just like me! But getting this pedal was motivating, as I played it the first day for 5 hours straight. It's the key to my tone onstage, and my KOT V.4 is not on my board yet because I'm not ready to part with this pedal, that's how much it means to me! Great overdrive pedal honestly, nice rich harmonics come out when you are fully engaging this puppy! Just buy it, you won't be sorry!
