Celebrate 50 years of sonic euphoria with the Limited Edition DOD OD250 pedal. If you are looking for an overdrive pedal full of versatile, instantly recognisable and versatile tonality, look no further – this pedal contains not 1, not 2 but 3 overdrives!

Key Features

  • 3 Overdrives – Easily switch between the Silicon, Lift and Ge/ASYM settings to switch between the incredible overdriven tones this pedal has to offer.
  • Limited Edition – Complete with Certificate of Authenticity, a small plaque to commemorate the DOD on the top of the pedal, guitar picks & stickers, and a stunning colour combo.

Intuitive Controls

The DOD OD250–50th Anniversary Edition pedal boasts Gain and Level controls using the original potentiometer values and tapers giving the control knob the feel and range that DOD enthusiasts love.

3 Stunning Overdrives

A three-position toggle switch features the OD250’s classic “SILICON” mode replicating that original sound.

The “Ge/ASYM” mode uses a vintage Germanium diode for asymmetrical even-harmonic distortion. “LIFT” mode cuts the diode clipping from the signal path allowing for a clean boost or even a dirty boost when the vintage LM741 op-amp is clipped at higher gain settings. The DOD 250 also features True Bypass to maintain the integrity of your guitar tone.

Celebrating 50 Years

Each pedal will have a serial numbered Certificate of Authenticity, a commemorative laser etched pedal topper, several commemorative guitar picks, and multiple commemorative stickers.

This limited edition OD250 is outfitted in a stunning metal flake grey finish with classic yellow screen print in a call back to the original OD250 of the 1970s. An etched aluminium badge on each unit commemorates this occasion. The DOD OD 250 50th Anniversary is ready to take its place among the historic DOD pedal line-up.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Anniversary. Drive — Drive is an effect category that adds gain to the guitar signal, creating anything from light breakup to heavy distortion. Drive pedals are used to add warmth, sustain, and character, shaping how a guitar responds to picking dynamics and helping it cut through a mix.. Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. preamp — A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound..
