DOD-250 Overdrive Pre-Amp - 50th Anniversary Limited Edition
$499.00
SKU: DOD-250-50TH
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the renowned DOD Electronics, founded in 1974 in Salt Lake City,
Utah, USA by entrepreneurs John Johnson and “Mr. DOD” himself, David O. DiFrancesco, we are
excited and proud to commemorate this historic anniversary with a limited edition 250
Overdrive/Preamp! Honoring the original design and sound, while providing additional new
functionality, the 250-50th delivers the most expressive and versatile model in the long and venerable
series of 250 OD variants. Hand-built in the USA with through-hole components, DOD proudly reclaims
its old moniker “America’s Pedal” for this commemorative model!
The 250-50th features the same Gain and Level controls with the original potentiometer values and tapers providing
the familiar control knob feel and range that users have come to expect. Additionally, this limited-edition overdrive
includes a 3-position toggle switch that not only delivers the traditional stock “SILICON” mode faithfully replicating
the original sound, but also includes two additional modes for unexpected versatility! The “Ge/ASYM” mode
provides an entirely different asymmetrical even-harmonic distortion characteristic made possible by employing a
vintage Germanium diode. The third toggle selection is a “LIFT” mode which eliminates diode clipping entirely from
the signal path, providing the ability to have a clean boost, or even a dirty boost as you clip the vintage LM741 opamp at higher gain settings.
This limited-edition model has a striking new industrial design with its metal flake gray finish and bright yellow
silkscreen hearkening back to the vintage gray and yellow color scheme of the original yet providing an updated
look and feel that is right at home within the current DOD pedal lineup. As an added touch and attention to
aesthetic detail, the wavelength of the neon yellow-green status LED was carefully selected to match the silkscreen
color. Adorned with a beautiful etched aluminum commemorative 50th Anniversary badge, this pedal is not only
destined to become an instant classic and collector’s item in the historic DOD lineup but will assume its rightful
place in the entire pedal universe.
