Does the Arbiter Fuzz Face or the Octavia count (since they're fuzz pedals...kinda distortion...)?The G.B. Kirch Band on Facebook!

Re: oldest overdrive/distortion...
The oldest one that I personally know of was the Maestro (spelling?) Fuzz Tone. If I remember right Keith Richards used one on "Satisfaction" in 1965. I remember how blown away we were with that tone because we'd never heard anything like that.

The Ibanez TS-808 and the DOD 250 were both around before Boss but I'm having a hard time finding an exact date. The Big Muff came before either but it rides the line between fuzz and distortion.Trainspotter

Isn't the Danelectro Daddy-O one of the earliest od/dist pedals.Last edited by Guitar Toad; 02-07-2006, 10:35 PM.Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

I had an old Heathkit (Radio Shack) distortion that kinda rocked.

The first OD's I've seen were the MXR Dist +, Boss OD-1, and DOD OD/Preamp.
All that stuff was the 80's though.Originally posted by Boogie BillI've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!

Re: oldest overdrive/distortion...
Schaller made a +15 dB preamp with a 6 band quasi-Varitone circuit back in the early-mid 60's that was used a lot as a boost pedal...I had one and it worked really well with BF Fenders. EH's LPB1 also comes to mind...early 70's?
