【About This item and Sound】
The long-awaited Maxon masterpiece, the original D&SII from 1977 !
This Maxon D&SⅡ is First Version with no LED, no DC jack.
The serial sticker remains on the back panel of the pedal, and the serial number indicates that it was made in 1977.

Maxon D&S II stands for “Distortion & Sustainer Ⅱ”. In terms of sound, it is somewhere between an overdrive and a distortion.
In crunch, the D&S II delivers a subtle Tube Screamer-like overdrive, while in distortion, it delivers a biting, sharp distortion similar to that of the OD-808.
Distortion, Tone, and Balance knobs allow you to create the sound you want.

The D&S II is a very easy to use OverDrive Distortion pedal compared to the Big Muff-like “D&S” which has a thicker FUZZ sound.

【 Control 】
・DISTORTION：Adjust the depth of OverDrive Distortion
・TONE：  Adjust the sound quality (high-low)
・BALANCE：  Adjust the output volume
