Thank you to Cor-Tek/DigiTechFX for sponsoring this video.
The DigiTech 250X is the latest incarnation of the classic DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 which was first launched in 1974. This version however offers more sonic diversity compared to any other previous versions. Fantastic dynamics, articulation, tonal variety from the gain control, and 3 distinct voices to choose from - SILICON, LIFT and ASYM.
• Silicon (Up) – This is the classic DOD 250 sound: symmetrical silicon clipping with a focused, saturated midrange.
• Asym (Down) – Adds even-order harmonics through asymmetrical clipping, giving a looser, more amp-like feel.
• Lift (Middle) – Removes the clipping diodes entirely for clean or dirty boost depending on gain, articulate, loud, and reactive.
