Maxon OD9 “Limited Edition”

1969 – Maxon starts designing and manufacturing effect pedals as OEM for other guitar companies.

1974 – Maxon incorporates the JRC4558 Operational Amplifier into its overdrive circuit design and invents the world-famous Tube Screamer® circuit which is sold simultaneously under the Maxon brand name as the OD-808 as well as under another big guitar brand as the TS-808®. The success is huge.

1982 – A few years later, Maxon creates another successful design with the OD-9 (TS-9®) from the famous Nine Series. With more gain and bite as well as a unique look, Maxon once again makes history.

2021 – Now with the OD-9 Blackdrive, Maxon offers the world-famous unique gain and natural overdrive from the analog circuit of the original Tube Screamer® design, 100% made in Japan, in a Limited Edition classy semi-gloss black enclosure made exclusively for the European market.
