HEAR THEIR GEAR - Doug Rappoport; Edgar Winter - Maxon

The Maxon VOP-9 Vintage Overdrive Pro pedal is the updated version of the Maxon OD820. The VOP-9 takes the same basic circuit as the OD820 and offers it up in Maxon's indestructible, industry-standard 9-Series chassis. It uses the same JRC NJM4558D op-amp for low-noise operation, and features the same negative feedback loop clipping diode as the OD820 and OD-9. Like the '820, the VOP-9 also features mechanical true bypass switching for uncolored sound in bypass and the ability to blend clean and overdriven tones together.

Combination clean booster/overdrive
Switchable 9 or 18 volt operation using internal voltage doubler
Reacts precisely to picking dynamics
True Bypass Switching
Also used by Steve Vai Wing man Dave Weiner

One day I'll still never be able to guitar like Doug.

Great video, love Doug’s sound here! The vop has been my favorite overdrive for years now.

I have my Maxon OD808 in from of my Marshall 100 w head and this thing brings the amp to new heights. Love Maxon!

[gara]

Just a beast of a player...tone for days too

[p_]

He could make anything sound great! Great player

[פיצפוץפיץ]

Yeah ... I love it, anyone who plays the guitar, this video is for him. Must watch.

[rflessati]

Great Tone. Marshall rock ´n roll!! Great player!

[GodlykeInc]

we couldn't agree more. Doug is a monster!!!

[GodlykeInc]

I was not on the shoot. I can see Marshalls. My guess is JCM2000

[GodlykeInc]

I personally was not there for the shoot. That being said. When using a distorted channel of an amp all "Timed" effects should be in the loop (After the distortion circuit). If using a distortion pedal the "timed" effect should be after the distortion pedal.

[javiceres]

The VOP-9 is the ultimate overdrive pedal IMO.
Simple as that.

[peteralerich]

Man, I bet it's just killing all the Gibson Haters that Doug is rocking away on a plain old ebony Les Paul Standard.
