The DOD Overdrive Preamp 250-X is a modern take on the classic 250, built for players who want everything from a light push to a gritty, amp-like drive in a simple stompbox. This 10th Edition version gives you three clipping modes in one pedal—so it can work as a vintage-style overdrive, a slightly more aggressive drive, or a clean/dirty boost depending on how you set it.
With straightforward controls and a compact footprint, it’s a strong choice for guitarists and bassists searching for a versatile overdrive pedal, a clean boost, or a classic DOD 250-style drive that can cover multiple roles on a pedalboard.
