When it came to the DB10, Maxon decided to use two independent boost circuits with separate input/output jacks and true bypass switches, offering a clean and vintage boost to enhance your sound. The pedal provides up to +20dB of boost, with the clean boost offering a flat frequency response while the vintage boost provides a high-end toll-off. Both boosts can cascade into one another, or an overdrive/distortion pedal can be put in between them to deliver additional tonal options.
Maxon started out in Japan in 1965 under the name Nisshin Onpa, manufacturing guitar pickups before producing OEM products for other companies. Nisshin Onpa was responsible for designing and manufacturing many legendary pedals while working in partnership with Ibanez, including the TS-808/TS808 and TS9 tube screamers. Although many of the pedals Maxon created were released under the Ibanez name, Maxon was producing pedals under their own name, and in 2002 when the two companies parted way, Maxon began to push its name as a manufacturer of high-quality effects pedals. Today Maxon produce "hard-to-find" vintage type effects pedals, and are used by many artists such as Pearl Jam, Troy Van Leeuwen, Steve Stevens, Brad Whitford, and many more.
