Faithful reproductions of the legendary 1970s product line, the Maxon Reissue Series Effects feature 100% analog circuits packaged in a time-tested enclosure for a lifetime of trouble-free performance. Component quality and PC board layout have been optimized to provide consistent, low noise performance without adding unnecessary coloration to the instrument's tone.The D\u0026amp;S II is a distortion and sustainer pedal in the tradition of the classic 1974 model with a dual op-amp design similar to the original OD808, yet with increased low-end, output, and gain. Distortion, Tone, and Balance knobs give the user complete control ranging from subtle crunch to intense saturation. With its mild drive, relaxed sustain and high output, the D\u0026amp;S II rides the line between an overdrive and a distortion pedal. This unique \"split personality\" makes the D\u0026amp;S II a perfect stompbox for players who seek the bark of an 808 with a bit more bite.Rather than using silicon diodes commonly found in today's circuits, the D\u0026amp;S II distortion pedal uses germanium diodes in the clipping stage. The germanium diodes can distort low-level tones, and create a somewhat rounded waveform of the clipped signal, thus making a warm, smoother distortion.Also unique to the D\u0026amp;S II is its tone control. While most other overdrives and distortions feature hi boost\/hi cut tone circuits, the D\u0026amp;S II tone control uses a low range boost\/cut circuit for added bottom end. In addition, the D\u0026amp;S II's tone circuit features the JRC4558 IC chip, generally regarded as sonically superior to most other op amp models. The combination of these two elements creates a pedal with more low-end punch than your typical overdrive.Cosmetic wear is limited to a couple tiny finish chips along the bottom edge of the enclosure. The white graphics are pristine, and the original knobs are intact.Features:-High output-Overdrive\/Distortion combo-Unique germanium diodes-Unique tone control-Wide range of useful tube-like tones-JRC4558 chip","brand":"Maxon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40257622933690,"sku":"ISI14174","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_5cb3a0b1-035a-4c2f-bbe9-71992b9b2d4f.jpg?v=1751518014","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/maxon-d-s-ii-distortion-sustainer-ii-guitar-effects-pedal-od808-jrc4558","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
