Honoring the iconic design of the original 250 Overdrive/Preamp, this limited-edition pedal delivers the classic tone loved by generations of guitarists while introducing modern functionality for even greater versatility. Handbuilt in the U.S.A. using through-hole components, the 250 50th is a faithful homage to the past with its vintage design, enhanced by a striking metal flake gray finish and neon yellow-green LED. It is a true celebration of DOD's legacy as "America's Pedal."</p> <h3>Versatile Overdrive With Three Distinct Modes</h3> <p>The DOD 250 50th includes a three-position toggle switch, offering three unique distortion modes to expand your tonal possibilities. The "SILICON" mode faithfully replicates the original overdrive sound of the 250, while the "Ge/ASYM" mode introduces asymmetrical harmonic distortion using vintage Germanium diodes for a warmer, more dynamic response. The "LIFT" mode removes diode clipping altogether, turning the pedal into a clean or dirty boost depending on the gain setting. These new modes make the DOD 250 50th the most versatile version of the classic overdrive to date.</p> <h3>Modern Enhancements, Vintage Appeal</h3> <p>While the DOD 250 50th maintains the simple Gain and Level controls that made the original famous, it introduces modern features, such as true-bypass switching and a neon yellow-green LED indicator. The lighter aluminum chassis provides durability while keeping the pedal portable for gigging musicians. Additionally, the socketed LM741 op-amp allows for easy modifications and replacements, providing more flexibility for tone tinkerers. The pedal's aesthetic pays tribute to the vintage gray and yellow color scheme of the original, making it both a collector's item and a reliable tool for today's players.</p> <h3>Limited-Edition Design for Collectors and Players</h3> <p>This 50th anniversary edition comes with several exclusive accessories, including a custom laser-etched aluminum pedal topper, four unique stickers and four unique guitar picks. The pedal is adorned with a commemorative etched aluminum badge, cementing its status as an instant collector's item. With only a limited number of 1,974 units available, the 250 50th is not only a must-have for tone aficionados, but also a valuable addition to any pedal collection.</p> <h3>Hand-Built in the U.S.A. With Attention to Detail</h3> <p>Each 250 50th pedal is hand-built in the U.S.A. using high-quality, through-hole components to ensure the best possible sound and durability. The pedal operates on a standard 9V power supply or battery (sold separately), and offers a low power consumption of just 7 mA. With a compact footprint and rugged design, this pedal is perfect for both studio work and live performances. Backed by DOD's 1-year warranty, the 50th anniversary edition is built to last, both as a piece of history and a versatile overdrive pedal for the modern guitarist.</p>", "value":"219.99", "priceMin":"219.99", "priceMax":"249.99", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"28", "inventory":"28", "brand":"DOD", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"used", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"", "stickerText": ""}
