ODS II Series

ODS II Series represents Andy Fuchs’ goal to take over 15 years of design evolution and customer feedback on the original Overdrive Supreme platform into the next millennium. Designed along with the new ODS-Classic, the ODS II Series is the most versatile d-style tonal platform on the market worldwide. While inspired by classic D-style amps, it advances and improves many aspects and removes many shortcomings of the original iconic amps that inspired us.

Channel one has a dedicated tone stack, dual gain boosts, brite, deep and EQ switches, plus a mid boost and a mid shift pull pot. A channel master volume allows low to medium gain overdrive.

Channel Two has a dedicated tone stack, dual gain boosts, brite, deep and EQ switches, plus a mid boost and a mid shift pull pot. A separate gain stage features a drive, master and overdrive tone control. This channel has tons of gain on tap, going from the mild low-medium D-style gain tones in channel one, to searing higher gain saturated tones.

The global master controls overall gain after each channel is set to it’s own level. The accent control adds high end shimmer. The Spin digital reverb provides separate level and decay controls, allowing studio grade, warm deep reverb tones without the nuisance of reverb pan variability and vulnerability to handling.

The rear panel provides two FX loops: the standard Fuchs loop (series/parallel-line/pedal level with send and return controls) and a secondary loop (line level series only/ pre-power insert), a separate bias pot for each power tube is provided and an accurate digital display of bias readings is provided. An IEC power inlet (global switchable line voltage internally), AC and DC fuses, 4-8-16 ohm outputs via 5 jacks. Ethercon connector(s) for footswitch. Standard 6-way footswitch controls one gain boost per channel, mid boost per channel, reverb and channel switching. Optional Artist footswitch available, adds loop bypass for each loop, operates second gain boost on each channel, as well as adding mute function for use with amp switcher based rigs. A half power (where applicable) and a three way low-off-high fan switch round out the ample rear panel features.

The ODS-II captures all the tones that made the original Fuchs ODS amps legendary, but allows massive tonal flexibility via totally dedicated separate clean and overdrive channels, each with their own dedicated tone controls, mid and gain boosts, and master volumes.

Available in head and combos in black and creme as well as three power levels: Custom 25/50, 50-watts, and 100-Watts. Includes a 6-way footswitch standard with optional Artist footswitch for loop bypasses, muting and two additional remote gain boosts. 5-year warranty on everything except tubes.
