The legendary analog DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 is back, with over
40 years of history and experience behind it. The new 2013 version of
the legendary DOD 250 captures all of the classic tone and wild heart of
the original but in no way tames its performance. The 250 is better
than ever before with true bypass, a crisp blue LED indicator, gobs of
output, and modern 9V DC power supply input. Redesigned with a lighter
aluminum chassis, sleek yellow metallic flake and flat black matte
bottom paint job, the 2013 DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 pedal is the perfect
sonic foundation to carry on the legacy of DOD. The DOD Overdrive
Preamp 250 (2013) has Gain and Level controls, like its predecessors.
Gain controls the amount of distortion, from just a touch of grit to
all-out grind. Level dials in some subtle body for “always on”
performance or huge amounts of boost for boosting solos above a dense
stage mix. With the Gain all the way down, crank up the Level to boost
your sound and cut through during your solos. True bypass allows your
guitar tone to remain pristine even when the new DOD 250 (2013) is off.
This is a big difference from the original which would color your
bypassed tone. The modern 9V DC power supply input make the pedal more
pedal board friendly.
