Looking at the OD-9’s circuit, you’ll realize that this is not some redesign being cleverly marketed as a reissue – this is THE original OD-9 (TS-9) circuit, yet with the addition of true bypass switching.  Even the PC board is the same one that Maxon’s been using for the past 30+ years, complete with empty slots where parts for the FET switching circuit have been left out!

Like the original, the current production OD-9 features the NJM (JRC) 4558D Op Amp – an essential component for authentic “TS” tone.  The NJM is smoother sounding and less compressed than other Op Amps, offering superior sound quality with low noise.

OD-9 Overdrive

The AD10 takes Maxon’s 30+ years of experience in analog delay design and offers it up in one compact, WYSIWYG pedal.

The AD10 delivers up to 600 milliseconds of gorgeous, organic delay that doesn’t get in the way of your original guitar tone.  Delay repeats are tuned to perfection with a subtle yet distinct distortion and none of the high-frequency whistle associated with over-clocking of the delay circuit. 

The AD10’s minimalist control interface makes it incredibly easy to dial in a variety of usable delay effects including double-tracking, faux reverb, tight rhythm slapbacks, and longer delays for solos.

AD10

guitar world platinum award
The Nine Series Overdrive Pro+ takes Maxon’s classic OD-9 circuit and serves it up with two side orders of Whoop-Ass in the form of 9/18 volt operation and a Mid Boost switch.

In 9-volt setting the Pro+ sounds and functions like the standard OD-9 with the added option of a healthy +3 dB of midrange boost at approximately 800 Hz (actual frequency is dependent on Control settings) – great for cutting through a band during solos.
When set to 18-volts the OD-9 Pro+ becomes an 800-pound Gorilla, offering up beefier lows, tighter saturation, improved dynamics and a chunky, aggressive pick attack that will make your amp sound and feel like it just took a Viagra.  Switch on the Mid Boost in this mode and let your solos breathe fire.

Don’t just play like the pros – play with the Pro Plus.

OD9 Pro+ Overdrive

The Maxon ST-9 Pro+ Super Tube Pedal stakes a big claim for being one of the most sonically customisable overdrive pedals ever invented. The secret behind this incredible functionality and tone lies in the design which was loosely based on the late 70s OD-808, just with some major upgrades.

The Mid Enhance control lets you vary the amount of iconic mid-boost that Maxon overdrives provide, while the Low Boost switch allows a rumbling low-end response with increased saturation thanks to an alternate set of clipping diodes. Add to this, the pedal can operate at either 9V or 18; run at 9V for the classic 808 sound or switch to 18V for increased headroom, improved dynamics, and thicker, chunkier overdriven textures.
