Maxon OD-9 Series Overdrive

Classic TS9 looks and sounds. The OD9 is absolutely faithful to the Tubescreamers of old, which is exactly what you'd expect given that Maxon designed and built the Tubescreamers for Ibanez. This is a hell of a powerful overdrive with tons of depth and clarity. It sounds amazing. It does everything from adding a little dirt to a clean sound right through to a full on rip your face off overdrive.

We all know the "Tube Screamer" because of Ibanez and while Ibanez may have the brand recognition, Maxon is the real deal. Maxon created what we originally know as the "Tube Screamer". They created the OD-808, which Ibanez licensed and branded as theTS-808 "Tube Screamer" and this pedal, the OD-9, which Ibanez calls the TS-9. What is the difference? Quality! Maxon uses the same, premium quality components they've always used and Ibanez uses cheaper, lesser quality and often different components that can be obtained for less cost then utilizes a cheaper build prices with low quality LED Lights that are hard to tell if they are even on where Maxon's shine bright like the premium star they are. If you want the real deal, you want a Maxon. Buy this pedal and you will never regret it. Maxon pedals cost more but there is a reason for that. They are much higher quality.

Love it!

The tube screamer is possibly the best OD pedal ever and the Maxon version is great. It has a great mid range tone and delivers great gain when added in front of a slightly distorted signal. This pedal rocks!

Absolutely one of the best overdrive pedals I have used. Blows away anything by Ibanez . Sounds fantastic going into my 65 Twin Reverb . First Maxon pedal I have owned and definitely won't be the last
