Maxon Analog Delay AD999

The Maxon Analog Delay AD999 is one of the many Maxon Vintage Series effects pedals Maxon created for the discerning audiophile.  ,the AD-999 Analog Delay was created after careful examination of other analog delay units (including the AD900) in an effort to improve upon them. Each AD999 comes loaded with 8 ­ yes, 8 ­ Maxon MC4107D BBD's for a total of 900 milliseconds of pure, rich, organic analog tone. Like past Maxon analogs, the Maxon AD999's delay controls have been kept to a minimum to free the unit from unwanted noise and complex operation. Standard Delay Time, Delay Level, and Feedback controls provide a simple user interface and a wide variety of delay effects. To improve the unit's versatility, Wet/Dry outputs were added to allow for panning of the delay effect between two amplifiers or channels.

The Maxon AD999's Analog Delay tone is pure analog heaven ­ rich, round and three dimensional.  Give us a shut and pick one up today.

Maxon Overdrive Pro OD820

The Maxon Overdrive Pro Vintage Series analog effect is also a great pedal..  This pedal an all-new overdrive circuit that addresses the key shortcomings of other units - the result is the OD-820 Overdrive Pro.

The Maxon OD-820 Overdrive Pro was designed to provide a wide range of tube-amp overdrive tones as well as a transparent, hi-gain clean boost. As the name implies, the OD-820 was intended for use by professional guitarists with advanced playing techniques. The OD-820's expressive tone reproduces fingering and picking nuances with haunting precision, making the best use of any guitar or amplifier's character. With a full-frequency response, minimal compression and zero tonal coloration, the Maxon OD-820 won't mask a player's performance weaknesses like other overdrives can.  The Overdrive Pro is one of Maxon's top rated overdrives.

Maxon 9 Series

Since their introduction in the early 1980s, Maxon Nine Series designs have achieved a legendary status with pedal connoisseurs around the globe. The reasons for this are simple - superior sound quality and innovative features that offer a seamless interface between performer and performance. 20 years later this rule still holds true. Now available with improved circuitry including JRC4558 IC chips and True Bypass Switching, Maxon Nine Series effects remain the standard by which all others are judged.

Maxon OD9 Pro+ 009 Series Pedals

Think the Maxon OD9 is just another overdrive ?  Let’s face it: When it comes to overdrive, no one knows more than Maxon. Back in 1974 they invented the original “808” circuit, the standard overdrive design that has shown up in the rigs of the world’s greatest guitarists and has been copied, modified, and “upgraded” ad nauseam.  Most boutique overdrives are based on the 808 circuit, and there are more than a few self-proclaimed “fx-perts” out there who make their living developing mods for this legendary device and its successor, the Maxon OD-9.  

Maxon Reissue Series

Faithful reproductions of the legendary 1970s product line, the Maxon Reissue Series Effects offer today's musician a classic sonic palette that has defined the tones of guitarists for the past three decades. Each model's circuit is 100% analog and packaged in a time-tested chassis for a lifetime of trouble-free performance. Component quality and PC board layout have been optimized to provide consistent, low noise performance without adding unnecessary coloration to your instrument's tone.

Maxon Compressor CP101

The Maxon CP101 is one of a series of Maxon Reissue pedals.    The CP101 Compressor provides clean, smooth compression with ultra-low noise and incredible transparency. The CP101's 4:1 compression ratio is so subtle that it's easy to forget the unit is on ­ until you turn it off, that is. While it is on you will notice note-to-note levels that are smoother and more consistent, chords and arpeggios that are tighter and more focused, and when used with an overdriven amp, sustain that will last for days. Best of all, you'll notice minimal coloration to your guitar signal and less of the note-attack alterations so common to other compressors.

OD808 Maxon Reissue Series Overdrive

Originally released in 1979, the Maxon OD808 was one of the first tube-amp overdrive simulators to hit the market. The OD808 overdrive's smooth, creamy crunch tone caught on quickly, and helped to launch a long line of predecessors as well as imitators. Today, the OD808 design is without a doubt the most used, most imitated and most lauded overdrive circuit of all time.

The secret behind the legendary analog "808 tone" lies in the amplifier section of its circuit. Rather than having an amplifier stage followed by a clipping stage, the OD808 uses a signal-distorting diode (Panasonic #MA150) that is located in the amplifier stage's negative feedback loop (which also contains the JRC4558 IC chip). Therefore, the OD808 distorts signal in the amplifier circuit itself which yields a smoother, milder, more natural sounding distortion than a separate clipping stage.

It should be noted that the Maxon Reissue Series OD808 uses different output resistors than the original version. The Maxon OD808 overdrive is a modern classic.
