Maxon TOD-9 True Tube Overdrive

The Maxon OD-9 circuit has achieved a legendary status among tone connoisseurs as the ultimate tool for driving a tube amp. Yet sometimes you need that little "something extra," and the TOD-9 provides this missing ingredient in spades.

The TOD features a mil-spec 5703WB JAN Raytheon sub-miniature vacuum tube complete with its own separate Gain control (Tube knob). This tube stage is positioned at the front of the audio path, driving the OD-9 circuit.

With the Tube knob at zero, the TOD sounds exactly like an OD-9. Engage this control and experience the unmistakable magic of tube tone - a big, FAT, natural-sounding bottom end and the characteristic tube "sag" that makes lead lines sing.

With the Drive knob down, the Tube knob will add warmth and dimension to your tone. With Drive knob up you'll get all this extra girth as well as increased saturation as the tube drives the clipping stage of the pedal.

If big, warm tube tones are your bag, the TOD-9 offers them up in a familiar package that continues to withstand the tests of time.
