Maxon
Vintage Japanese Tone, Legendary Pedal Heritage
Maxon is a pioneering name in analog guitar effects, best known for its iconic overdrive pedals, including the original TS808 and TS9 Tube Screamers—designed and manufactured for Ibanez by Maxon from the 1970s to 2002. A brand under Japan’s Nisshin Onpa company, Maxon helped define the sound of generations of players with legendary effects like the FL9 Flanger, AD9 Analog Delay, and CS9 Chorus. Today, Maxon continues its legacy with a refined lineup of vintage-style pedals featuring true-bypass switching and upgraded circuitry.
Handcrafted in Japan, Maxon pedals are trusted by purists and tone-chasers for their warm, dynamic response and bulletproof build quality. With over 50 years of innovation—from fuzz-wahs to studio-grade modulation—Maxon remains a cornerstone of classic pedalboard tone.
