The ODS is a 2-channel tube preamplifier inspired by the elusive “D” style amps. Its versatile clean channel, developed from modifications of Fender amps, and a drive channel rich in overtones generated purely by tubes have been the backbone of some of the greatest performances by legendary guitarists throughout history.
By placing it at the last stage of your effects chain and plugging it to the returns of various amplifiers, you can get a more constant “tube sound” in any studio. In addition to the return connection, simply connecting it to the input of a transistor amp also works musically. It can also be connected directly to various speaker simulator pedals.
Upgrades:
True Bypass On/Off Footswitch Option
Kimono Finish
Controls:
・GAIN: Adjusts the input gain to the Clean channel.
・Bright: Adds high frequency to the sound.
・Deep: Lowers the center of gravity of the sound and makes it sound “deeper”.
・Rock / Jazz: Changes the overall volume as well as the characteristics of the 3-band EQ.
・3-band EQ: This is a development of the Fender-type EQ, and the effect changes seamlessly with the aforementioned GAIN and various mini-switches.
・OD channel LEVEL: Determines the input volume (distortion depth) to the OD channel. The Clean channel GAIN setting also affects the OD depth.
・OD channel RATIO: Determines the volume of the OD channel. Adjust the volume difference from the Clean channel here.
・MASTER: This adjusts the overall volume. It does not affect the tone of the preamplifier itself, so you can
reproduce the sound you created at home in the studio as it is.
-12V DC (center-negative, 500mA or more recommended)
