In this interview, Kurt Fraunfelter of Thy Will Be Done shares how he uses Maxon pedals to shape his tone. This video was filmed at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ in October 2011 during their 2011 - 2012 tour.


OOD-9 Organic Overdrive Info:

Let's face it, just like the term "true bypass switching," the 4558 IC chip has become a major buzz term in the world of analog effects. And while the arguments rage as to which version sounds best and whether the year the IC was manufactured will affect the tonality of the pedal, the fact remains that most tone junkies are hooked on the sound of the 4558.

Far be it for Maxon to disappoint - the Maxon OOD-9 Organic Overdrive is based around the same re-vamped OD880 circuit as the OSD-9 Overdrive/Soft Distortion. Yet instead of employing the original 741 Op-Amp, the OOD-9 is loaded with a current production JRC 4558 dual Op-Amp instead.

The difference in tone is subtle but sublime. More focused in the lower-mids, the OOD-9 compliments Humbucker-equipped guitars perfectly by offering a creamier, thicker overdrive than the OSD-9. Like the OSD-9, the OOD-9's post-integration overdrive circuit smoothly changes according to input level, offering a highly dynamic response to picking technique that will work magic in the hands of a talented player. In other words, if you've got technique, the OOD-9 will give you tone to match!

Use the OOD-9 with a clean amp to create a virtual overdriven channel, or use it with an already distorted amplifier for more power and sustain. Better yet, use it combination with the OSD-9 for the fattest, smoothest overdrive ever! Whatever the application, the OOD-9 is the natural choice for the most tube-like overdrive yet!


PT999 Phase Tone Info:

With its single knob and switch, the PT999 Phase Tone is deceptively simple. Yet packed into this tiny blue box are a host of the most authentic 70's era phasing effects available in a current production unit. Simply by adjusting the unit's Rate control a wide variety of expressive phasing nuances can be coaxed from the Maxon PT999, all of them whisper quiet and amazingly transparent. The PT999's minimalist circuit frees your guitar tone to be as smooth and responsive as it is when served up a la carte (or a la effect, as the case may be).

So what's the secret behind the timeless tone of the Maxon PT999? Simple, ­ the circuit used today is exactly the same as it was when first introduced in 1974. While many "reissue" effects on the market today are far from true to the original designs, Maxon has taken pains to keep the PT999 circuit unchanged for close to 30 years. The PT999's four-stage phasing circuit offers 720 degrees of phasing sweep variable from .2 to 14 Hz (cycles per second). The PT999's FET's (Toshiba #2SK246) are carefully sorted and matched by hand to produce the smoothest phasing sweep possible with low noise. Unlike other phasers, the PT999 runs negative feedback of the signal to each phase-shifting FET for less distortion. Internal trimmers adjust center frequency and width of the phasing sweep (calibrated prior to market, we recommend adjustment of these trimmers be left to a qualified electronic technician).

If you demand classic phase shifting effects without compromising your guitar's signature tone, the PT999 Phase Tone has no equals.
