Maxon OD-808 Overdrive

In 1969, Maxon became an effects pedal manufacturer, primarily as a producer of OEM products for other companies. During the 1970s Ibanez became one of the company's main OEM customers. Maxon designed and manufactured the now legendary TS-808 and TS9 Tube Screamers for Ibanez, and many other models, including the FL9 Flanger, CS9 Chorus, and AD9 Analog Delay. The brand also marketed its pedals under its own Maxon name during this time. When Ibanez parted away in 2002, Maxon began to more aggressively market its own line of pedals. Repositioning itself as a manufacturer of high-end mass-produced effects, Maxon expanded its line of analog pedals, using rare NOS components and classic circuit designs that are to this day highly respected and sought after. The company prides itself on a reputation of quality over quantity.
