With a circuit based around the Panasonic MN3207 Bucket Brigade IC, the CS550's “straight-outta ’79” chorus effect is bold and resonant without sounding harsh.  Unlike the sterile chorus sounds of the 80’s, the 550 has an edgy, almost grainy quality that keeps your tone articulate and prevents wash-out.

The CS550’s custom-tuned oscillator circuit provides enough speed for authentic rotary speaker simulation, and just the right amount of modulation for a lush vibrato that won't leave you feeling queasy.

CS550 Stereo Chorus

In 1977 Maxon released their first effect pedal - the OD880 Overdrive/Soft Distortion – and the world would never be the same.

Employing a passive distortion circuit based around the 741 Op Amp (also used in the popular DOD 250), the OD880 was coveted for its warm and natural overdrive tone. The 880 was perfect for use as a transparent booster to take a tube-amp over the edge, offering singing blues tones unrivaled by other boxes.

OSD9 Overdrive/Soft Distortion

The OOD-9 takes Maxon’s resurrected OSD-9 circuit and replaces the NOS 741 Op Amps with current-production NJM (JRC) 4558’s.
Offering the same warm, open-sounding overdrive as the OSD-9 but with a more pronounced high-frequency response, the OOD-9 is perfect for “livening up” a dark-sounding guitar or amp.

The OOD-9 reacts smoothly to input level changes, offering a highly interactive response to player dynamics.  Perfect as a stand-alone dirt box or for pushing an amp, the OOD-9 can also be stacked with other OD’s to add clarity and character to their tone.

OOD9 Organic Overdrive

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 RTC600 starts out with the same patented DBX compression circuit used in Maxon’s popular CP-9 Pro+ pedal - this circuit provides a very smooth, transparent, almost “glassy” compression with very low noise floor, even at maximum settings.  Your guitar sounds like your guitar, only with compression added to smooth out the dynamics.

The RTC600’s dual-triode tube is positioned pre-compression, adding classic valve warmth to the signal without increasing noise levels.
