Manufacturer's Description from Maxon
The first offering in the Maxon Real Tube Series is the ROD880 Real Overdrive. Based on the vintage TK999 Tube King, The ROD880 overdrive will add warmth and incredible sustain to any guitar rig. The ROD880 works very much like an additional preamp for your amplifier, and you'll be amazed at how realistic its tube amp tones actually are. When combined with the various Drive settings on your amp the ROD880 becomes a very powerful tone shaping tool.
Powered by a hand-selected 12AY7EH preamp tube, the ROD880 offers an extremely wide variety of tube tones right out of the box. When used in front of a clean amplifier the ROD880 can be used for subtle crunch all the way to full-bore metal distortion, making it perfect for use with Class A amps when they can't be cranked. When used in front of already overdriven amps the ROD880 really shines, pushing the amp over the top while still retaining note clarity and dynamic responsiveness.
The tones of the ROD880 can be fine tuned via its large, easy-to adjust control panel. Gain and Master Volume controls provide a wide variety of overdrive tones, from clean boost all the way to searing, saturated sag. Bass, Treble, and Mid Boost controls with extended operation ranges offer a limitless array of tonal options, from the classic "808" overdrive tone to beefy, full frequency chunk worthy of the heaviest metal band.
All of the ROD880's tones are kept clear and noise-free via the rear mounted, switchable Noise Reduction circuitry with variable Threshold control and a 1:2 noise reduction ratio. This tiny tone arsenal is powered via a standard 9-volt DC adaptor, allowing easy integration into your pedalboard or rack setup.
When you're ready for the real thing, the ROD880 Real Overdrive delivers.
About Manufacturer
Since their beginning in the late 1960s, Maxon has built their reputation on a single concept quality. Early on our engineers realized that anything could be built faster and cheaper, but to build something better was the true mark of a master. Our relentless pursuit of perfection met many obstacles over the years, but like anyone committed to a cause, Maxon kept their sights focused on the ultimate goal to build the highest quality audio products possible. Our quest led us to many firsts in the industry the first realistic tube-amp overdrive; the first compact analog delay; the first multi-effect unit; the first programmable effect the list goes on. And while many companies have "borrowed" these groundbreaking design concepts over the years, few have been able to match Maxon's ingenuity, determination and longevity on their own. Today, after nearly 25 years as an OEM supplier to some of the music industry's largest companies, Maxon is once again offering our own brand of products to the US marketplace. We've made available detailed information on Maxon's line of analog effect units including technical specs, audio demos, user comments, and design secrets that have until now remained classified. We hope you gain as much enjoyment from studying this information as we did in compiling it! Thirty years in, Maxon has their sight set on the same goal to build the finest quality audio products possible, always. Maxon still effecting generations.
