About this listing
Iconic tone with added versatilityThe DOD Overdrive Preamp 250-X keeps the heart of the original circuit but adds flexible tone-shaping with its updated three-way toggle switch. Whether you want the original silicon clipping for gritty punch, the Ge/ASYM mode for smooth drive or the lift mode for a cleaner, more transparent boost, you have clear options. Each setting responds uniquely to playing dynamics and pickup types, giving you more control over your sound.Analog tone powered by a classic op-ampAt the core of the 250-X is the legendary LM741 op-amp. Known for its smooth, dynamic response, this component has powered some of the most recognisable overdrive tones since the 1970s. The pedal’s Gain and Level controls allow you to dial in anything from subtle breakup to full-bodied drive while maintaining the natural character of your guitar and amp.Modern practicality with true bypassThe 250-X blends vintage tone with modern convenience. It features true bypass switching for a clean, unaffected signal when the pedal is off. The bright yellow-green LED ensures visibility on dark stages, and the standard 9V DC power input makes integration into any pedalboard setup quick and simple.Built for performance and portabilityThe enclosure is made from lightweight aluminium, offering a strong yet portable housing that can handle regular use. While this model doesn’t feature hand-wiring or a commemorative badge, it retains the essence of the Anniversary Edition in tone and performance. It is a workhorse pedal designed to deliver reliable analog overdrive with a clean layout and solid build quality.FeaturesThree-position toggle switch gives you more tone optionsClassic LM741 op-amp delivers smooth, dynamic driveGain and Level controls keep things simple and effectiveTrue bypass keeps your clean tone untouched when offAluminium chassis is lightweight but built to lastYellow-green LED is easy to see on dark stagesWorks with a 9V battery or standard DC power supply (sold separately)Includes picks, stickers and a full-colour manualSpecificationsProduct Name: DOD Overdrive Preamp 250-XProduct Code: DOD 250-XDimensions: 4.68" x 2.63" x 2.25" (11.88cm x 6.68cm x 5.71cm)Weight: 0.60 lbs (0.272 kg)Input: 1/4" Instrument, Input Z >300kOhms typicalOutput: 1/4" Instrument, Output Z 9.1kOhms to 27.5kOhms (based on Level control position)Power Supply: 9V DC tip-negative or 9V alkaline batteryPower Consumption: 7 mA typicalChassis: Lightweight aluminiumBypass: True bypass
