Key Features
The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 50th Anniversary Edition is a celebration of half a century of iconic tones from DOD Electronics. Hand-built in the USA using authentic through-hole components, this limited-edition pedal retains the classic Gain and Level controls while introducing a versatile three-position toggle switch. Switch seamlessly between the vintage silicon clipping mode, an asymmetrical "Ge/ASYM" option for warm harmonic distortion, and a diode-free lift mode for clean or dirty boosts driven by the classic LM741 op-amp.
This collector's edition stands out with its metal flake grey finish, vibrant yellow silkscreen, and a commemorative aluminium badge. True bypass circuitry with a neon yellow-green LED ensures pristine signal clarity, while its lighter aluminium chassis makes it a durable yet portable choice. Complete with exclusive accessories, including a laser-etched pedal topper, unique picks, and stickers, the 250-50th is a modern tribute to DOD?s legendary legacy.

The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 50th Anniversary Edition marks a milestone in the history of effects pedals. Designed to honour five decades of innovation, this limited-edition model combines vintage aesthetics with modern enhancements. Its commemorative aluminium badge and retro-inspired grey and yellow finish celebrate the legacy of DOD, making it a lovely addition to your pedal board if you value the heritage of effects pedals.
Crafted in the USA, the 250-50th is built using premium through-hole components for unmatched durability and authentic sound. This meticulous construction process ensures every pedal delivers the high-quality performance, earning it the title of "America's Pedal". The lightweight yet sturdy aluminium chassis provides portability without compromising strength. This is an expertly crafted pedal that aims to give you tonnes of carefully crafted gain and distortion.
With a three-position toggle switch, this pedal offers unprecedented flexibility for any playing style. The silicon mode recreates the original overdrive tone, while the Germanium asymmetrical ("Ge/ASYM") clipping mode introduces a warm, harmonic distortion. For added creativity, the lift mode removes diode clipping entirely, offering clean boosts or dirty boosts powered by the vintage LM741 op-amp.
Designed with modern needs in mind, the 250-50th features true bypass circuitry for a pristine signal path. The neon yellow-green LED indicator and modern 9V DC power compatibility add practicality to the pedal's classic design. Alongside these functional upgrades, exclusive accessories like a custom laser-etched pedal topper, unique picks, and stickers make this edition a fantastic addition to your setup.
