The JHS Overdrive Preamp is a faithful replication of the unobtainable V1 of DOD’s most loved pedal, which featured a floating hand-etched PCB and the same DOD 250 circuit. This "Big Box V1" DOD 250 circuit definitely feels like a 250, but with a few changes, more gain/grit overall and more unique low/mids.
- Level control adjusts the overall output of the circuit and lets you cut or boost the signal, and this version has been modified from the original wiring of the Number 75 unit, giving this pedal much more volume on tap
- Gain control adjusts the amount of gain inside the overdrive circuit, and turning up "Gain" creates more clipping as it pushes the op-amp and hard clipping into overdrive
- A slider switch has been added to this production version, which wasn't included with the original DOD 250, providing more versatility
