Product Description
The 250-X features the same Gain and Level control potentiometer values and tapers as the original OD250, providing the familiar control knob feel and range that users have come to expect. The 250-X includes the new 3-position toggle switch that not only faithfully replicates the original 250 stock “SILICON” mode but also includes two additional modes for additional versatility. The “ASYM” mode provides an entirely different asymmetrical even-harmonic distortion characteristic. The third toggle switch selection is a “LIFT” mode, which eliminates diode clipping entirely from the signal path, providing a clean boost at moderate levels, or even a “dirty” boost as you drive the LM741 op-amp into clipping at higher gain settings.
Features
- 3 Overdrives in 1 - 3-way toggle switch for traditional SILICON, ASYM (Asymmetrical), and LIFT which eliminates diode clipping entirely from the signal path, providing a clean boost at moderate levels, or even a “dirty” boost as you drive the LM741 op-amp into clipping at higher gain settings.
- Most Versatile 250 Ever - From clean boosts and subtle grit to heavy distortion, this is the most versatile and expressive 250 pedal ever made.
Three Modes
At its heart the 250-X keeps the same Gain and Level controls that made the original a classic, while expanding the sonic palette with a three-position toggle switch:
- SILICON – symmetrical clipping for the iconic 250 sound
- ASYM – asymmetrical clipping for rich, even-harmonic distortion
- LIFT – removes diode clipping for a clean boost at moderate settings or a dirty boost at higher levels, pushing the vintage-style LM741 op amp
