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

The overdrive 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 drive can also be stacked with other OD’s to add clarity and character to their tone.

The pedal offers up all these classic sounds in Maxon’s indestructible, industry standard 9-Series chassis. Modern-day utility features such as mechanical true bypass switching and a voltage regulator have also been added to provide smooth, consistent performance.

Maxon Guitar Effects

Maxon Guitar Effects is a Japanese company best known for designing and manufacturing high-quality guitar pedals, particularly overdrive, distortion, and fuzz pedals. Originally established in the 1960s as part of the Nisshin Onpa Co., Maxon initially produced pickups and eventually moved into effects pedals, working as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for major brands, including Ibanez. The company became particularly famous for developing and producing the iconic Tube Screamer overdrive pedal for Ibanez, one of the most influential and widely-used pedals in guitar history.

Solid build quality and analog warmth

Over the years, the company developed a strong reputation for innovation, often pioneering new effects circuits that became industry standards. Their pedal designs emphasize tonal clarity, durability, and analog warmth, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern players. Maxon’s effects pedals are highly regarded for their build quality and sound, with many musicians and collectors seeking out both vintage models and newer reissues for their reliability and distinct sound. Today, Maxon produces a range of pedals under its own brand name, including overdrive, distortion, delay, chorus, and other effects. While still relatively boutique, Maxon’s pedals have a dedicated following among professional musicians and tone enthusiasts worldwide.
