DOD - 50th Anniversary Edition Overdrive Preamp 250 Pedal With True Bypass and LED #DOD250-50TH
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the renowned DOD Electronics, founded in 1974 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA by entrepreneurs John Johnson and “Mr. DOD” himself, David O. DiFrancesco, we are excited and proud to commemorate this historic anniversary with a limited edition 250 Overdrive/Preamp!
Honoring the original design and sound, while providing additional new functionality, the 250-50th delivers the most expressive and versatile model in the long and venerable series of 250 OD variants. Hand-built in the USA with through-hole components, DOD proudly reclaims its old moniker “America’s Pedal” for this commemorative model!
The 250-50th features the same Gain and Level controls with the original potentiometer values and tapers providing the familiar control knob feel and range that users have come to expect. Additionally, this limited-edition overdrive includes a 3-position toggle switch that not only delivers the traditional stock “SILICON” mode faithfully replicating the original sound, but also includes two additional modes for unexpected versatility! The “Ge/ASYM” mode provides an entirely different asymmetrical even-harmonic distortion characteristic made possible by employing a vintage Germanium diode. The third toggle selection is a “LIFT” mode which eliminates diode clipping entirely from the signal path, providing the ability to have a clean boost, or even a dirty boost as you clip the vintage LM741 op-amp at higher gain settings.
This limited-edition model has a striking new industrial design with its metal flake gray finish and bright yellow silkscreen hearkening back to the vintage gray and yellow color scheme of the original yet providing an updated look and feel that is right at home within the current DOD pedal lineup. As an added touch and attention to aesthetic detail, the wavelength of the neon yellow-green status LED was carefully selected to match the silkscreen color.
