Maxon OD-9 Overdrive 4-stars Reviews

I didn't fit it

I bought this overdrive based on reviews, without testing it live.

I was hoping to use it for my les paul on vox amp.

Unfortunately, it was not usable in this combination.

As I understand this overdrive needs a high gain amplifier and vox definitely is not this.

After reviewing, I think this is a good overdrive, but you need to pay attention to where you want to use it!

This one came fourth

A recent comparison test between all the Ibanez and Maxon 'Screamers' put this one in fourth place - ahead of the Ibanez Mini and behind the Ibanez TS, the Ibanez TS808HW and the Maxon OD808.

Whether or not the sound appeals is all entirely subjective of course so, other than complimenting the sturdy construction and ease of use - which applies to all of them, a written review is a pretty pointless exercise. Suffice to say I liked the Maxon OD808 best, even though it commits a pedal fanatics cardinal sin - no Full Bypass. Horrors.

Does what a good OD pedal should

This OD pedal provides a good boost without changing the tone much and is well built.
