The Maxon TOD-9 True Tube Overdrive Pedal utilises the iconic OD-9 circuitry and adds a tube gain stage at the front end for an ultra-compact, tube pedal unit. Equipped with mil-spec 5703WB JAN Raytheon sub-miniature vacuum tube with a dedicated tube control, the TO-9 delivers that classic tube warmth associated with tube amps. This versatile pedal offers a variety of tones, that will add warmth to your performances. Players can achieve a fat, sounding bottom end and increased saturation thanks to the four control knobs that include Drive, Level, Tube and Tone.
This pedal’s voltage regulator IC requires a high inrush current of approximately 2000 mA upon startup. When using with a Power Brick such as the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+, this pedal should be connected to a high current power jack when possible.
Maxon started out in Japan in 1965 under the name Nisshin Onpa, manufacturing guitar pickups before producing OEM products for other companies. Nisshin Onpa was responsible for designing and manufacturing many legendary pedals while working in partnership with Ibanez, including the TS-808/TS808 and TS9 tube screamers. Although many of the pedals Maxon created were released under the Ibanez name, Maxon was producing pedals under their own name, and in 2002 when the two companies parted way, Maxon began to push its name as a manufacturer of high-quality effects pedals. Today Maxon produce "hard-to-find" vintage type effects pedals, and are used by many artists such as Pearl Jam, Troy Van Leeuwen, Steve Stevens, Brad Whitford, and many more.
