Maxon ROD880 Real Overdrive Pedal
The first offering in the Maxon Real Tube Series is the ROD880 Real Overdrive. Based on the vintage TK999 Tube King, The ROD880 overdrive will add warmth and incredible sustain to any guitar rig. The ROD880 works very much like an additional preamp for your amplifier, and you'll be amazed at how realistic its tube amp tones actually are. When combined with the various Drive settings on your amp the ROD880 becomes a very powerful tone shaping tool. Powered by a hand-selected 12AX7WXT preamp tube, the ROD880 offers an extremely wide variety of tube tones right out of the box. When used in front of a clean amplifier the ROD880 can be used for subtle crunch all the way to full-bore metal distortion, making it perfect for use with Class A amps when they can't be cranked. When used in front of already overdriven amps the ROD880 really shines, pushing the amp over the top while still retaining note clarity and dynamic responsiveness. The tones of the ROD880 can be fine tuned via its large, easy-to adjust control panel. Gain and Master Volume controls provide a wide variety of overdrive tones, from clean boost all the way to searing, saturated sag. Bass, Treble, and Mid Boost controls with extended operation ranges offer a limitless array of tonal options, from the classic "808" overdrive tone to beefy, full frequency chunk worthy of the heaviest metal band. All of the ROD880's tones are kept clear and noise-free via the rear mounted, switchable Noise Reduction circuitry with variable Threshold control and a 1:2 noise reduction ratio. This tiny tone arsenal is powered via a standard 9-volt DC adaptor, allowing easy integration into your pedalboard or rack setup. When you're ready for the real thing, the ROD880 Real Overdrive delivers. Real Tube Series Every musician knows that nothing can match the unique "sonic footprint" of a vacuum tube. The warmth of tone, dynamic responsiveness, and incredible sonic clarity of tube circuits is the stuff of legend. With this in mind, the Engineers at Maxon have spent years of research and development in order to create a line of guitar effects that would offer the sonic benefits of vacuum tubes coupled with the ease of use of a compact floor effect. The result is the Maxon Real Tube Series. Each Real Tube model features a heavy-duty, bent steel chassis with air vent for tube. Only the highest quality components are used, including metal jacks and switches and hand-selected dual triode tubes. This combination of superior components and ingenious designs yields stunningly realistic tones that rival the most expensive tube gear. When only the real thing will do, the Maxon Real Tube Series is the only choice. Real Tube Series ROD880 Real Overdrive Pedal Features• :• Rugged, Lightweight Chassis Made of 1/16" bent steel, extremely lightweight (approximately 1 pound) and strong. The chassis size allows for optimum component positioning to minimize cross-talk that can lead to excessive noise and signal coloration. Tube vent allows for sufficient cooling of internal triode • • Internal Tube Power Each unit features a hand-selected Sovtek 12AX7WXT dual triode vacuum tube with ceramic socket and protective shield. Tube socket is isolated from PCB for low-noise operation. • • Mechanical Bypass Switching Mechanical bypass switching using DPDT switch reduces switching noise inherent to tube circuits. High impedance buffers on Inputs and low impedance buffers on Outputs help to further reduce noise and provide transparent operation in bypass. • • AC Power Operation Power using Maxon AC210N AC adaptor (120 VAC in / 9 VDC out. 200 mA center - / sleeve +). • • LED Power/Boost indicator Ultra bright LED's indicate Effect status (on/off) and Boost status (on/off). • • 3-Year Warranty Godlyke Inc. guarantees to replace or repair (at their option) this product should it suffer from defects in materials or workmanship. Coverage period is one year for moving parts (example: pots, switches, jacks) and 3 years for non-moving parts (example: IC's, transistors, etc.). • Damages caused by accident, abuse, alteration, or misuse are not covered by this warranty.
