Apparently I have a "Holy Grail" Overdrive

I didn't realize I had a 14 Pin OD--1 Pedal... I'm not a pedal snob so I'm curious how these stack up compared to pedals nowadays? Late 70's based on serial, hooked it up yesterday to a Landry Lexi and it was..... wow. They that much better or cork sniffing? I'd rather run something cheaper than burn a valuable pedal thrashing for fun you know?

you mean a early OD-1 with the through hole 14 pin IC Chip ???

Transparent button switch, silver screw, Green Board. The transition when they improved the circuit board but had a short run of the 14 pin raytheon. I see you know your shit on here, any advice is appreciated.

Nice .... I literally just finished up a version of the OD-1 ..... but went with the new SMD style chip ..... still 14 pin .... but definitely not a Raytheon Chip

Back in the day, My first real rig I played thru was a Les Paul, Peavey Butcher head, 4x12, and an OD1.

Butchers were cool and did a thing for sure!
