Fuchs ODS Classic 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head

The original Overdrive Supreme (also known as the ODS) became an iconic amp over its near 17-year lifespan. When first introduced, it brought the previous unobtainable legendary D-style tones to a greater audience while adding features like a killer reverb, mid and gain boosts, separate bias controls per power tube and advanced construction techniques. Embraced by players as diverse as Al Di Meola, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jimmy Herring, Warren Haynes and others, it’s gained player and industry respect.

The Fuchs ODS Classic represents not only a continuance but further advances the original ODS platform. Like the company's ODS-II and Casino amps, constant customer feedback and Andy Fuchs’ continuing quest to improve the tone and flexibility of Fuchs amps resulted in a quantum step forward for the platform.

Developed side by side with the ODS-II, the ODS Classic brings many Fuchs exclusive features the company has developed for the ODS-II architecture. One unique feature is the dual gain boosts: One boost allows the main tone controls to remain active and provides an internally user variable boost. A three-position EQ switch gives you a center position which additionally bypasses the tone controls. These two boosts may be used together or separately, as well as along with the mid boost allowing the widest gain range of any amp of its kind. The mid boost has two operating points for fattening the tone with selectable slopes. The brite switch (like the ODS-II) offers dual settings which allow further tailoring of the high end. The deep switch is ideal for warming up single-coil pickups or enhancing a jazz guitar tone.
