OVERDRIVE- MAXON DS-830 Distortion ...10 years & still made ...MIAB

 MAXON DS-830 
DISTORTION MASTER 
$135.00 USD
Still made after 10 years but typically only available in Japan. Fortunately one is often on E-Bay. It gets pushed as a JCM- 800/900. Not a Plexi? Yes especially as it sounds very much like a Marshall Super Lead 100, the King of the Plexi! It has the sound of a whole stack with its low end thump  designed into the pedal. Just like the real amp it needs a RangeMaster treble booster or Tube Screamer to push up the upper mids.
But WTF it is a quality MIJ Maxon with one fat sounding MIAB

CONCLUSION
I would love to hear it hit with a germanium ToneBender. 
Instant authentic Page sound.
