The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 (2013 version) is built on the foundation of its predecessor, the original DOD Overdrive Preamp 250. The 2013 version delivers a classic analog tone and drive, refined through over 40 years of development. It features a GAIN control for adjusting distortion and a LEVEL control for overall volume. The effect is activated via a footswitch, with a blue LED indicator signaling operation. It includes IN/OUT jacks for guitar cables and operates on a 9V adapter (not included). This pedal is true bypass and comes in a lightweight yet durable aluminum enclosure with a Yellow Metallic finish.
