Effect: Fuzz
Based on the rare, final version of the Ibanez OD-850/OD-9. In this last revision, Ibanez moved away from the original circuit and adopted a more Ram’s Head–inspired design, featuring a modified tone section and increased output. The result is a fuller body that remains present beneath the tone control as the treble side is turned up, along with noticeably more harmonically rich gain that is smooth, highly musical, and capable of classic sustain while retaining clarity and definition.
Pedal History
Maxon originally released the D&S pedal in 1974, based on an early Triangle–style circuit. Ibanez adopted this design around 1976 as the OD-850, a bass-heavy, gritty pedal with lower gain than most later Muff variants.
In late 1979, the circuit was revised to a modified early-1970s Ram’s Head design and produced as the updated OD-850 from 1980 to 1981. Maxon released this version as the D&S OD-801. Ibanez later issued the final version of this updated circuit from 1982 to 1984 in leftover blue/green enclosures, known today as the rare OD-9.
