DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 Pedal Some of the effects pedals that many of us grew up with are now considered classics and finding clean inexpensive examples of these devices is difficult . DOD has released one of my favorites and frequently used pedals from the 1980 ’ s the DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 pedal . The new DOD version delivers the great sounds of the original model but with more volume , less added noise and in a lighter aluminum enclosure . The controls are simple with only Gain , Volume , blue LED light to show when it is engaged and a footswitch . The DOD Overdrive Preamp sounds especially good with single coil guitars and clean amplifiers that need to be driven in the front end for more grit . At only $ 99.99 this reissue is even better than the original and the sparkly paint job will make it standout on your pedalboard too ! www . digitech . com
