The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 is a legendary analog overdrive pedal designed for guitar and bass instruments. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your DOD Overdrive 250 to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Instellen
Het pedaal aandrijven
The DOD Overdrive 250 can be powered by a single 9V alkaline dry battery or an optional 9V DC power supply (PS0913DC). Ensure the power source is correctly connected before use.

Het pedaal bedienen
The DOD Overdrive 250 features two primary control knobs: VERDIENEN En NIVEAU, along with a footswitch and an LED indicator.
Figuur 3: Front Panel Controls. The Gain and Level knobs are at the top, with the footswitch and LED below.
Bedieningselementen
- VERDIENEN: This knob controls the amount of overdrive or distortion applied to your signal. Turning it clockwise increases the saturation, ranging from a subtle grit to a full, aggressive grind.
- NIVEAU: This knob adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal. It can be used to match the bypassed signal volume, or to provide a significant boost for solos or to push your amplifier harder. With the Gain set low, increasing the Level can provide a clean boost.
Voetschakelaar en LED-indicator
The large footswitch activates or bypasses the effect. When the effect is active, the crisp blue LED indicator will illuminate, providing clear visual feedback of the pedal's status.

Echte bypass
The DOD Overdrive 250 features true bypass circuitry. This means that when the pedal is disengaged (effect off), your guitar's signal passes directly through the pedal without any electronic interference, preserving your original tone. This is a significant improvement over older designs that could color the bypassed signal.
Onderhoud
Batterij vervangen
If using a 9V battery, replace it when the LED indicator dims or the pedal's performance degrades. To replace the battery, carefully remove the bottom plate of the pedal. Disconnect the old battery and connect a new 9V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity. Securely reattach the bottom plate.
Schoonmaak
Wipe the pedal's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
Opslag
When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply or remove the battery to prevent leakage and preserve battery life. Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
