The Maxon OD-9 Creamdrive

Limited Edition Cream Semi-Gloss OD-9 Overdrive Pedal

For over 50 years, Maxon has been renowned for its effect pedals ever since Maxon’s parent company Nisshin Onpa started designing them in 1969. However, their products were not marketed under their own brand originally outside of Japan and were sold worldwide under other well-known brand names (OEM), such as Ibanez™. Eventually, the commercial relationship between the two firms grew stronger in the 1970s, to a point where Hoshino Gakki (owner of the Ibanez™ brand) became Nisshin Onpa’s most important client.

Following the success of the OD-9 Black drive released in 2021, the limited-edition OD-9 Creamdrive made exclusively for the European market, provides that same world-famous, unique gain and natural overdrive of the original Tube Screamer® design, but in a classy semi-gloss cream enclosure. Still, 100% made in Japan, the pedal features an entirely analog circuity equipped with the celebrated JRC4558D op-amp, to deliver its unique smooth tube-like natural overdrive, all without sacrificing your guitar tone. The pedal can also be used as a clean boost, without altering your signal.
