Music wouldn’t be the same without Maxon Founded in 1965, Maxon pedals broke ground on several stompbox firsts: the first solid-state tube amp overdrive emulation, the first discrete analog delay pedal, and even some of the earliest programmable effects ever produced. Maxon emerged from the Nisshin Onpa company, a parts supplier that originally supported Japan’s robust guitar industry with high-quality components. Maxon’s pedals have been marketed and popularized under different names throughout the years, and now you can get your favorites right from the source at Sweetwater. What Maxon advantages can players enjoy today? The circuitry is highly faithful to the chips, transistors, and schematics used in vintage units. Furthermore, Maxon makes modest performance improvements when appropriate by adding features such as true bypass switching or upgraded circuitry that reduces microphonic feedback at extreme output levels.
