Unleash the fury! DOD Yngwie J Malmsteen YJM308 Preamp Overdrive! $139
See you in Tokyo!
The DOD YJM308 is a signature overdrive pedal created in collaboration with Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Designed to replicate the tone of the classic DOD 250 Overdrive/Preamp, this pedal delivers the smooth, harmonic-rich distortion and sustain favored by the legendary guitarist.
Design and Features
The YJM308 features a simple two-knob layout for Gain and Level, making it easy to dial in tones. It’s built to produce vintage-style overdrive and works best when paired with an overdriven amp or a clean channel for added punch and clarity. The circuit has been slightly modified from the original DOD 250 to meet Malmsteen’s tonal preferences, providing a tighter, more focused sound.
Sound Quality
The pedal delivers creamy, mid-range-rich overdrive with excellent note articulation and clarity. It is ideal for lead tones, adding sustain and definition, while also excelling at producing crunchy rhythm sounds when the gain is dialed down.
Build and Construction
The YJM308 is housed in a durable metal enclosure with a distinct vintage aesthetic. True to DOD’s reputation, it is rugged and capable of withstanding extensive use.
Country of Manufacture
United States.
