Celebrating 50 Years of Classic Overdrive

The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 – 50th Anniversary Edition honors half a century of gritty tone and legendary punch. This limited-release pedal pays tribute to the original 1973 design, bringing back the same raw, unfiltered overdrive that defined early hard rock and metal—now dressed in a striking gold finish and loaded with vintage mojo.

Vintage Circuit. Modern Versatility.

At its core, this special edition sticks to what made the 250 a go-to for generations: a stripped-back control layout with Gain and Level knobs that let you shape everything from a warm boost to a snarly, compressed overdrive. Whether you’re stacking it with other pedals or using it as your main dirt box, the 50th Anniversary 250 delivers that iconic transistor-fueled crunch with surprising clarity and dynamic response.

What Makes the 50th Anniversary Edition Special?

Limited-edition gold enclosure – eye-catching and built to last
True to the original 1973 schematic – including era-specific clipping and gain staging
Updated modern touches – LED indicator, true bypass, and 9V DC power jack
Hand-voiced tone – every unit is tuned to match the feel of vintage DODs

This reissue captures the raw attitude of the early ’70s without the pedalboard headaches. It’s plug-and-play simple, yet deeply expressive.

Perfect for Players Who Want:

A legendary overdrive with real vintage character
A collectible piece of pedal history that’s stage- and studio-ready
A flexible dirt pedal that shines on guitar, bass, and even synths

Specs at a Glance

Controls: Gain, Level
Bypass: True bypass switching
Power: 9V DC (center-negative) or 9V battery

Construction: Rugged metal chassis in anniversary gold finish
