The pedal was encased in a large gray folded metal enclosure that resembled Electro-Harmonix more than DOD, and it was conspicuously lacking the “250” model number. The typeset and DOD logo were different, but it still had the same charm and quirky feel of the vintage 1970s DOD. The sticker on the pedal’s backplate said “DOD Electronics Company” and listed the home address of founder David Oreste Di Francesco, as well as a number: 75. According to JHS's interview with David himself a year later, they had found the 75th DOD pedal \u003cem\u003eever made\u003c\/em\u003e and one of the first ten DOD Overdrive \/ Preamps (250) \u003cem\u003eever sold\u003c\/em\u003e. This stompbox represented the genesis of “America’s Pedal.” For a pedal historian, it was the equivalent of uncovering the Dead Sea Scrolls. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe internals featured a floating\/loose hand-etched PCB and the same DOD 250 circuit, but with a few changes. The internal parts dated as early as 1972 and, according to David, were harvested from old radios and electronics he scavenged when he started building his first effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe JHS Overdrive Preamp is a faithful replication of this unobtainable V1 of DOD’s most loved pedal. The controls are simple. The Level control adjusts the overall output of the circuit and lets you cut or boost the signal. The level control of this version has been modified (corrected) from the original wiring of the #75 unit, giving this pedal much more volume on tap. The Gain control adjusts the amount of gain inside the overdrive circuit. Turning up “Gain” creates more clipping as it pushes the op-amp and hard clipping into overdrive. They’ve also added a slider switch to this production version, which wasn’t included with the original DOD 250. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis “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. This is a must-have addition to any DOD collector’s lineup, or for anyone who's curious about how it all started. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePerfect as a Preamp for your base overdrive tone, a boost for solos or rowdy chorus progressions and just about every style from early 60's and late 70's rock n roll all the way to modern-day Shoe Gaze, Grunge and Alternative - OR, get creative and play some Jazz or NewGrass through it.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a used pedal and does show some signs of slight use, but has been fully tested and functions as expected.
