Description

Powerful analog distortion even at low volumes, it can boost the signal up to 59 dB and will keep the low frequencies present at low volumes.
The DS830 will sound massive even on smaller amplification seups.
9V power supply included.

The DS830 is one of the most flexible distortion boxes you will ever encounter.

It can generate insane amounts of gain while still retaining remarkable evenness and transparency. Yet far from being a one-trick pony, the DS830 is also capable of lightly overdriven blues tones and even semi-clean solo boosts at lower Gain settings.

Clarity and punch may seem like self-canceling traits, yet the DS830 provides both. The high-gain settings don't force a particular color on your tone - a great trait if you're pleased with your particular guitar/amp combination.

The DS830's dual tone controls are surgically effective and highly interactive. The Bass knob contributes low-end muscle that makes a combo sound like a stack and turns a full stack into a wrecking ball. The Treble control dials in just the right amount of bite without excessive top-end sizzle. Between the two, you can get everything from penetrating bite to an obese square-wave bordering on fuzz.

This additional tone-shaping makes the DS830 ideal for use with Bass Guitar, generating an edgy, aggressive tone that retains the note clarity and character of your instrument.

For full-bodied distortion with an amp-like feel and a huge variety of useable tones, the DS830 Distortion Master is unrivalled in its sonic range.

Brand

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.
