OVERDRIVE-MOSKY D250X ...a DOD 250 Preamp/Overdrive ...replacement???

 MOSKY D250X Preamp/Overdrive

$25.00 USD

In 1973 DOD were formed and one of their first pedals was an overdrive, booster pedal the DOD 250. Like the RAT after a few years the OpAmp they used the LM741 was discontinued. Over the years the usual fight and myths of which version is the best continues on. In 2017 DOD went into a complex muddle resulting in firing the entire research staff and shortly after virtually let any serious attention to the company dwindle until they stopped production and promotion and let the inventory fizzle. 

When they ran out of the 250 they just pulled it from the site. DOD is part of a conglomerate that is owned by Samsung. They made more profit from selling phones today then DOD would bring in 5 years. In short the company exists more on paper than in reality. The bottom line the DOD 250 is no more!

The DOD was accused of cloning the MXR Distortion+. There is at least some truth in it. Mosky even gives you an MXR voicing on the 3 way switch. The middle voice is the sound of the OpAmp minus any diodes 

which is a very big but open sound. The DOD voicing I find is impressive, 

the 'minus diodes' voice cold be very usable. The MXR tone is simply OK.

CONCLUSION

It is a classic and like all classics worth experiencing,

or to the point, at $25.00 owning.

If you find it is the pedal of the gods then for only

$1350.00 USD you can buy the original, lol.

Do you think it fair to say the D250X is the DOD

replacement ...😇 ...😳

THE FINE PRINT

I ordered one and it arrived.

It is definitely what it always was, a killer boost pedal.

I put it before an OD/distortion pedal or with a Fuzz

I put it after the Fuzz tighten  it up.

In either case you can tear heads off!!!
