Fuchs ODS-II Head
Fuchs' flagship two-channel D-style head, evolving the original Overdrive Supreme platform with dedicated clean and overdrive channels, dual gain boosts, and studio-grade digital reverb.
About this amp
The ODS-II is Andy Fuchs’ evolution of the original Overdrive Supreme platform, offering two fully independent channels each with their own tone stack, dual gain boosts, brite/deep/EQ switches, and mid boost. Channel one delivers low-to-medium gain D-style overdrive; channel two adds a dedicated drive/master/overdrive stage for higher-gain saturated tones. A global master and accent control shape the combined output, and the onboard Spin digital reverb offers separate level and decay controls. The rear panel carries two effects loops, per-tube bias metering, and 4/8/16-ohm outputs. Available as a head or 112 combo in Custom 25/50, 50, or 100-watt versions, in black or cream tolex, with a standard 6-way footswitch and an optional Artist footswitch for extra remote control.
