- The Best Overdrive Pedal There Is - Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive (And Why)
Everyone has their favorite piece of gear. This is my favourite overdrive pedal. Some call it a distortion pedal, but I really don't care. It just sounds great to me. I know Yngwie's been known to use the DOD 250 Preamp/Overdrive and the DOD 308 YJM overdrive, but I really do prefer this. Is the difference huge between these three? No.
I was recently asked why I hadn't reviewed it, if it's my best overdrive pedal, and I had no answer. So now I have reviewed it. Here it is, the Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive pedal.
Sadly, I've later discovered that Fender have discontinued this pedal, which is a real shame. You can still get it second hand though, so that's always something.

The gear I most often use.
A Stratocaster of some kind, either an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat, or a custom Strat with a scalloped fretboard. For 7 string stuff I mostly use an Ibanez Universe.
A Marshall 1987x into a Marshall cab.
A Fender Yngwie Malmsteen overdrive, plus a Boss NS-2 noise gate, or a Strymon Sunset.
A Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah, and a delay.
An AKG C-414 mic for the guitar.
For acoustic stuff I use a Taylor 710 short scale thingy.

@Elena Cvetkovska They don't make it anymore, so second hand on eBay or some such place.

Sorry?
@@MrPolevaulter he was trying to figure out your accent 😄
By far the best od-pedal out there. No contest whatsoever.
I remember however that I didn't enjoy it through my clean channel. At all. So I was disappointed at first. So I went to my semi-clean and after that I just soared into the horizon. Like the mighty eagle and its proud cry 😁
I personally enjoy the 5150 a bit more it literally takes any amp and transforms it in to a 5150 idk how mxr crafted it but it works amazing. This pedal is amazing though. I shall have to pick it up asap
Personally, I don't have any desire to play exactly like YJM. I like the 1987x, the dimarzio pickups strictly for the sound. The fact that he took a strat and pushed it to it's limit, is amazing. His Live!! album in Brazil is such a great sound. The yellow 250 reissue pedal is the lowest gain of all, to me at least. Really, the amp covers so many styles and works great with any pedal I've tried.
I love my DOD YJM, absolute beast. Need to try the Fender though
I have an Yngwie sig volume pot. low friction. I love that thing😂
You Sound Great on that One!,I have 2 Favorites, The EVH 5150 Overdrive with Built-in NR and Compressor Boost and the Mooer Brown Sound 3 With Clean OD and Cabinet Simulator Settings, I run a Noise Reduction on the Cabinet Setting. If I Run Them A/B to Amps and Stereo Board I Have a Wall of Heavenly Overdrive. I also have the Mooer Black Truck Multi-Analog which has Compression, Overdrive, Hi-Gain,/with Built-in NR, EQ, Phaser, Vibrato, Flange, and Delay/Reverb Separate or Together Settings. Put a Wah in Front and It is Ready to Blast Off!
Wahs are great fun :)
@@MrPolevaulter Yes 1975 Cry Baby, Behringer Hellbabe, and a Morley Classic.All are Pretty Versatile Wah's
Overdrives are great if you have a tube amp. Not so much if you have a solid state amp.
Not true
My crate gx900 actually works really well will overdrives and boosts on the lead and crunch channels, so it depends on the amp.
I have the DOD 308 and I like to use it when im using single coils. Totally gives it that perfect boost of OD.....for me anyways...🤘
Elmo. Good vid sir.
My friend. You would sound good with any pedal. 😂 Man I wish I could get that sweeping down. I'm practicing. Have never really tried all these years, except little 2 and 3 string stuff. Your sweeps are exactly like Yngwies man. Maybe faster. 😂
I had the black DOD yngwie over drive and used it for soloing only as a boost for sustain and harmonics and really liked it. My fav though so far has to be the Boss Blues Driver, but there are so many I've not tried. I am going to have to get a secret freq. Made by OCD overdrive company, but has an EQ as well to get that killer Boston or UFO parked wah mids from hell tone I love.
Thanks for the vids..
Cheers! :)
Yngwie Becksteen in the house!
Reading all the comments and most people have no clue how to use an overdrive for this purpose. Gain set to minimum and volume at max is how it's done. It tightens up the low and mid frequencies and boosts treble.
Doesn't work on a Plexi.
Hey Elmo, I am Sergiu from Germany. I used also this Fender YJM Overdrive, very nice Sound. But I have also a similar Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature from 1998 with Flamed Maple Neck and Rosewood Frettboard as your Fender YJM Strat, also very nice Instrument and so good like Custom Shop Fender Guitars. Best Regards! ;-)
Cheers :)
Cheers ;-) You can see it in my Video ;-)
I would love a comparison with the old original grey one, but its price is a shame !
Sure is.
Ive got one, slams my JCM800 pretty hard. I use it with either a Duncan JB or Distortion. I use the volume at half, gain on 10. 132dB of LOUD
Great pedal. Also for me the YJM Overdrive -pedal an important part of my sound. Tough; i use the pedal in a slightly different way. The pedal is also absolutely FANTASTIC -4 tightening high gain amps too. (Thoose travel gigs where You don't have Your own backline; but get a head and 4x12 cab of some sort.) The pedal is so easy to have in the guitar case. Just open the lid: And You're there! I accually have the knobs on the YJM-pedal dialed 12 O'clock with singlecoil guitars. For humbucker guitars i just back down the gain to about 10 O'clock. Have several different rigs: Mainly Marshalls and Boogie Dual Recs. Use the YJM Overdrive with all of them.
Cool! Have to give that a try at some point.
@@MrPolevaulter Nice! Looking 4-ward -to hearin' how that works out 4 You. By the way: I also have custom scalloped Strats with Fury PU's. I recently found out; how to make Floyd Rose -equipped Strat sound YJM. -Intrested in finding how this is done?
@@MrJonken70 Sure thing, although I don't really like Floyds that much.
I hear ya. Many players do not like locking trems. Like You; i also play scalloped Strats. And this off course can sometimes cause some tuning issues. That is: If You really want to go downtown on the tremarm. I recently needed a Strat; that could do that. So one was built for me. This guitar totally blew me away! It felt -and sounded like the real deal. The trick was to have the resessed Floyd mounted with woodscrew posts directly into the body wood. Also have a fatter trem/sustain block made out of cold rolled steel. (same material as in orginal Fender tremblocks.) This combination gave basicly the same metallic tone in the guitar -as the standard Fender trem. The YJM has a brass nut. A steel locking nut mounted really snug onto the neck wood -sounds the same. A real 'Hale Mary'. I really didn't think this could be done.
@@MrJonken70 Sounds cool :)
Nice! The Fender is my favorite pedal as well. I have tried and will always try many other pedals because it is just fun to do, but always end up back with the Fender YJM. It is a bit cheaply made though. My input jack broke and, well, I found it to be chrome colored plastic.
My LED light went out after 3 weeks, jack broke few weeks later, I took it apart replaced Led and jack, can't imagine anyone using it to play out, sounds awesome built like shit.
Yeah, I'm not too sure about build quality either.
Check out Tone Bakery Creme Brûlée Klon Clone but with a little more gain capability
@@JohnGalt539 hello i have the same pedal, te LED is dying too but this doesnt affects the sound right? the light is only very very weak but not dead at all.
If you like overdrive pedals and you have the opportunity one day to try the signature distortion of Patrick Rondat
One of the most balanced I know
I never played overdrives as I use the Triaxis or the ADA MP-1 for Thrash/Heavy stuff. But for the "Yngwie sound", you need a "cranked Marshall" baseline" and one of these. You just can get that "Not so much gain, but still great pick attack and..gain" sound elsewhere. I actually like the DOD 250 yellow more (yeah, I know..), but I also like the Fender as well, its a bit more harsh on the tremble BUT has a bit more clarity as well. I think I might get the 308YJM as well for a spin...just because I can, and just because I have to...lol!
:D
I’ve gotta ask, are there any non-metal players here checking out this pedal? I love metal, but am more of a garage/psych musician. I’m slamming it in front of a big ole Fender Super Reverb and it sounds pretty great. Definitely imparts a bit of that Marshall magic to my dumbly clean amp. Cheers all.
I use it for non metal stuff as well.
Me used to play nirvana and soda stereo
I used the DOD with an Dot- love YJM’s tone- used it with a big muff of all things! I got borderline Santana tone mixed with like Bongzilla. Haha- the fender pedal has wayyyyy more balls though and I graduated to an octavia- so I may have to buy! The old one worked well for me!
Using flat wound strings no less- brightened my tone and got good sustain and feedback
Hi ElmoThisGuy, thanks for this review! In my opinion, you are one of the top ten of most talented, sincere, and credible guitar players here on UA-cam. Have you never heard of the Behringer V 999, maybe?
Wow, thanks! I haven't heard of that one, no. Should I have?
@@MrPolevaulter Hi Elmo, the truth is...you don't need it. In your hands, you have everything that"is necessary. And if it could be that I can suggest by heart something to you, in between the V999 and the Chaconne...
Hi Elmo, Love you man. "Get your own damn sound" great advice. Which is best? Dunno, Still trying them out. Some are good for some things..... Rock on. Bye for now. Wait. The one that makes want to play is probably best for you. And where are you playing etc.......Bye. Play loud, sometimes..........
My fav OD pedal as well. What can you do, I'm a big Yngwie fan.
Yep :)
“Might not be the old school tone... BUT I DON”T CARE” lmao, good for you \m/
Haha :D Thanks!
that sunset drive you got there was expensive in my country sir...it about 1,530 ringgit Malaysia...and the fender yjm dod was about 440,00 ringgit Malaysia..big difference...
Yep. But with the Fender you need a noise gate, and with the Sunset that's built in, which narrows the difference. Also on the Sunset you have two separate sides with three overdrive on both sides, which means it's really versatile.
Yeah, there was a lot of confusion when the Yngwie R. Malmsteen pedal came out, lol. I thought his Marshall amp basically had the DOD circuit built into it?
Something like that. I thought it was the Fender YJM that was built in.
I thought you had made that quite clear many times already. :-) I'm going to have to try it eventually! I'm sure I won't be able to make it sound as good as you do though. Does ti sound great with every amp you've tried it with or is it at its best with a Marshall?
You will need a Marshall-y kind of sound, crunchy as well (kind of a breakup sound, bold bass, good fat mids, cut-your-head-off tremble..BUT NOT sizzling). It works great with that, as long as you have a noise gate. I use it in front of a JMP-1 Marshall preamp set to "plexi"...it kicks ass.
Just the Marshall, & your sarcasm didn't go unnoticed .
I don't need a Marshall crunch sound I have it if I want it, I was talking about doing solos silky smooth. Your setup sounds like it would be a beast, are you in a band ?
@@glennhughes2664 R u asking me? If yes, nah not anymore, I was playing in Atria Mortis, years ago (when i didn't know how to play...lol)..An underground Metal act. yeah the DOD250 or Fender YJM into a JMP-1 (Plexi sound) into a Marshall 20/20 with fat boost ON sounds killer AND also is loud as hell!! At 1/2 to 3/4 master volume I am pretty sure I could play a stage with my outputs set to 50%. AND FULL, I could kill the neighbours....
Totally agree with this. I've run one of these in front of my crunch channel and I get a great response from any pickup. Can be noisy at times but just kick the noise gate pedal on. My other favourite pedal I have is a rangemaster treble booster which I had custom built for when I do Queen stuff. I found any overdrive pedal too much for brian mays tone
Yep, sure is noisy :)
Amazing, its like peavey classic 50 head's drive...
I have the best overdrive that there is... I own several vintage DOD 250 Pedals, both grey and yellow versions. Out of 7 different vintage 250s two of them sound extraordinary and the grey version not so much. The newer Fender and the Yngwie pedal are too thin sounding to my ears. The two gems that I have are the holy grail as far as I am concerned and all larger components inside and no surface mounted chips..
Cool stuff :)
Just scored one of last cheaper ones for $200, cheapest ones now are $325 from Indonesia ebay.
My fav od is that yellow thing on top of the bugera hehe
:D
I really like this pedal, but for general use it is very bright.
The Zak wild overdrive by MXR is the best. :)
You shredded this vid up good.
Thanks!
MXR Wylde Overdrive for me (the original one). Much less noise than the fender and Boss SD-1 overdrive.
@Irmasil3, yeah I was talking to you, you cracked me up laughing ' you could kill the neighbours ..... That's priceless hahaha. Your rig sounds literally a killer, but seriously what a set up, you'd be hated by a lot of pub owners with that amount of pure Marshall power ,take care buddy. P.S. What type of guitars do you play ?
Now goes for $300-500. Any recommendations for your current favorite OD that does a passable YJM?
I use the Strymon Riverside.
@@MrPolevaulter I’ve got the iridium and the big sky. Love them both. almost can’t bring myself to buy another big pedal from strymon.
@@MrPolevaulter I would pay money to see you match an mxr 10band to your fender YJM pedal as closely as possible
Elmo, hello! I purchased this pedal. It wasn't easy, but still. What should I do to achieve a sound like yours? Everything is clear with the noise gate, but what else? If delay, then what settings? Tell me please? This is really important! p.s. I don't have a marshall amp)
Hi Dmitriy! I use some delay. I forget the settings, since they're programmed into my Timeline. Justt add delay to taste. Have fun experimenting with it.
Which amp are you using?
@@MrPolevaulter Thanks Elmo! You will laugh: fender mustang micro)) Everything is homemade! Minimalism rules!
Overhead headphones AKG K182 act as cabinet. I connect the pedal to the amp. Everything works very even tolerably. The only problem with the mustang micro is that it is not possible to select the reverb hall+delay option. In general, I survive as best I can :)
God Damn I thought He was Just Some Pretty Good Rock n Roll Player then He Starts Playing Insane Lighting Fast Shred Like God Damn the Speed is one of the Highest Ever God Damn Min 9:47 and 13:00
Best 7 Seconds of the Vid.
Thanks :)
Stayed for the secret ending... what has my life become?
Is good to have an unique style and a good signature sound, the problem is, and I've seen it in tons of youtubers that plays amazing, that everything they review, it sounds the same...
Thanks for the comment :)
I have it. I use it in front of mooer 005. Its better than Tube Screamer Mini which i had.
Cool :)
The Fender is a huge step up from the DOD 308 which is the worst overdrive pedal ever made but nothing beats the old grey DOD 250!But you can not use the level on full on those old ones 9 a clock max and the gain on full then they sound amazing!
Why do you think the yjm 308 is the worst pedal? Just curious since there is one for sale close to me so just wanted to hear your opinion. Ive Only tried the dod 250 so I dont know what to expect
I own one. It is, in short, SUPERB!!!!
yeah..i prefered his old tone too...especially his marching out album tone.....
I like it all :)
That’s good but I’ll still stick with my grey spec DOD 250 pedals. Built my own clone design and modded my DOD YJM308 to grey specs. Nothing else stock beats them not even with Yngwie’s name on them.
I'm pretty much the English version of you, I worked on the old dods and followed your work for years on the forum. I built your clone which I must say is the quietest version of them all but I ended up copying the board from a 76-78 with the only change being the input cap on a socket which I ended up with a 0.033uf to clean the bass a bit but I change it to a 0.01 or a 0.1 depending what mood I'm in. Thanks for all your research from the past.
@@joeisitt1904 thank you!
Cool stuff :)
@@MrPolevaulter I only made 3 of my "Neo-Classic 741 Overdrive" one for me and the other two I gave to my friends Joe Stump and Dean Cascione. If I had any extras I would give one to you. Maybe you could pry one from Dean, LOL. Otherwise it's so easy to mod a YJM308 to true gray specs anyone could do it. With a little extra effort you can also add and LED w/Boss style power jack and true-bypass footswitch.
@@SteveMavronis I might have to look into that, as I have two of the 308s.
can you make video about this pedal with mooer preamp 019 plexi ?
Sorry. I did the Mooer Preamp Live, and didn't really like it.
Hi Elmo, is this pedal discontinued???
Why, what happened? I didn't expect that.
Did Yngwie disown it, like he did years ago with the dimarzio hs4? Or what else?
I took a look around, to buy a second one, and discovered that is discontinued..and quite hard to find.
What the fuck is going on?
Yeah it is. It's hard to come by as well. I don't know what happened. I've not heard of any reason for it.
Hell yeah man, I had to paid 160$ to have one 😡
You have the scalloped fretboard, the pickups, and the overdrive, now all you need is the fat gut
Just for the record... he's not fat. Even if he was who cares?
Shawn Lane was twice the size of Yngwie, weight has nothing to do with talent. Getting caught up on someones looks is silly and irrelevant.
Working on the gut :D
Is this pedal discontinued?limited?
Discontinued.
Kiitos paljon mutta can this pedal do nice edgy boost for my country chickin pickin on my old Tele ?
Yeah, you don't need to dial in a ton of gain, so I'd say it should do the job just fine.
Did fender discontinue this pedal?
Sadly.
@@MrPolevaulter that sux ☹wonder if they will make a new version
@@Guitarsgunsandghosts I dont think... They was limited
Get your own sound I agree! ☝️Well done I have a Fender Yngwie red pedal I love it for a subtle boost or softer intro. However it really does rip into a slightly dirty 50 watt JCM 900.
To continue and rise China cheap pedal topic, what about budget loopers from Ali express. Amoon looper for example, it would be awesome to se ur review, love ur reviews on gear
Thanks! Haven't tried anything from Ali Express.
J Malmsteen by the way! Ha classic
:D
I'm after & have pretty much got my sound down its taken decades to do it but I've got it down always room for improvement though . I don't think any guitarist should be completely happy with their sound & technique , it's a life time process so is getting your own distinct technique that can take up to a decade you have to stop listening to guitarists though, or you'll just become another clone shredder, I mean you as in everybody .Allan Holdsworth said he wanted his sound & to get it he used various effects when I first saw Holdsworth in the early 90's he had to 3 ft racks one clean one for lead, he's the greatest guitarist I & many other have seen, try and copy his solos if you get one down then you are Amazing Eddie Vanhalen said Allan did things with one hand that he couldn't do with two. So back to the point at hand, I remember him saying he wanted to use distortion but didn't want it to sound crunchy & distorted he wanted to " the sustain without that crunchy sound he was totally right he's the greatest guitarist ever in my book. So I tried the same thing, it took so long & so many overdrive pedals, I use the original standard boss overdrive the old ones only had level & gain knobs I'm sure you know the one I mean. The new one I don't like but the old one gives me a silky smooth distortion. It took years though tweaking my marshal I have a greenback celistion quad box with a JCM 800 ,100 watt box. So it's a different sound & im happy with it, it really sounds smooth but you can turn it up to death level & it sounds like a monster, unbelievable pedal & amp combo, but no longer made the same though. If you can get the origanal two knob Japanese boss overdrive get one. Your playing today even though it was a demonstration was awesome man, your my favourite channel you have a good mind & your never boring, remember MORE IS MORE ! PLAY LOUD Ha. PS I've seen yngwie j Malmsteen 4 times, I've heard that he's sound has changed if so its sad his sound was something you have to hear live to understand how good Yngwie is. People who trash him you'll notice they can't do what he does , they can't play fast as Fluck so they pick on him its just jealousy . MORE IS MORE Take care Elmo.
@Elmo Karjalainen I can’t find one of these anywhere, it’s like they fell off the face of the Earth. Any idea where I could get one?
No. They stopped making them, and they seem to be really hard to come by.
Elmo Karjalainen interesting that they suddenly stopped, they’re still making his guitars. I ended up scoring a DOD-250 from Digitech they other day for $44. They were running a great sale, so hopefully that will at least get me in the ballpark.
@@danwguitar8651 Yeah, it is a bit weird.
I'm starting to think that a stratocaster can't get a decent overdrive sound......that's what's keeping me from getting one
Sloan Champion - totally agree. Anyone who’s ever got a decent tone out of strat has had hot-rodded pickups or swapped them out with something. Even this guitar (YJM signature) has the YJM custom pickups.
Mr g - they are great, own one myself but they just can’t bring the hard rock like a hot humbucker can.
Blackmore would disagree ;)
@@mavainfigatomareva I'm not hearing it.....would love to
How does this compare to a 70s grey DOD 250 or the 2013 reissue?
I have the original DOD 250, the Reissue, and also a DOD YJM modded by analogman to be more like the DOD 250 and a chicago stompworks greyspeck which is a DOD 250(grey box) clone. The Fender I would say is brighter, but I think that is because the 250 and clones darkens the tone a bit. The Fender seems tighter and also seems like it is hotter. The best thing about it is that it does not really alter the original tone it boosts and overdrives it. So if you get a nice slightly dirty tone the Fender will keep those characteristics but put it on steroids.
By the way you described the Fender i would think it sounds close(r) to the stock DOD YJM308.
@@adrianb23 Absolutely. The Fender is true bypass has the standard female DC power jack which I think are the only 2 real differences.
There you have your answer. I would just have said "I dunno", as I haven't tried the 70s grey.
I would recommend the 2013 reissue sparkly gold DOD 250 as it sounds just like the 70s grey. I have the reissue, a stock DOD 308, and a 308 that i modded with a 1458 IC. They each have their own character and i love all of them.
You like yngwie.
Really? :D
When I crank mine I get a ton of noise
Yeah, I do too. I use a noise gate to handle that.
Sd1 and yngwie pedal 💪💪💪💪💪
much more clearity

Extremely annoying narration style and quite poor playing as well. Never understand why average/poor players feel like just because the Internet is there that they should put their playing out there as if they're worth listening to.
I love you too.
@@MrPolevaulter what a stupid comment. That's like someone breaking your nose and then you compliment them on they're incredible punching ability.
@@douglasnisbet1189 So you're looking for a fight? You seem like a very pleasant person.
Well, seeing as you're so hellbent on getting a reaction, here's what I'll say.
Yngwie Malmsteen said to me once: "You're very good". So with his compliment, and your criticism, I'm totally fine. If he'd said what you just said, and you said that I'm very good, then I'd be much less happy.
Now run along.
@@MrPolevaulter no I'm not looking for a fight, I just find your playing to a very low standard and your narrative style very annoying. I don't understand why these people put themselves out there on the Internet. Bear in mind that Yngwie still thinks that his own playing is very good and that his tone has never been better. As anyone with functional ears knows, Yngwie's playing is pretty embarrassing these days. Out of time, often out of tune and he can't even play his own very simple lines anymore with any form of clarity.
@@douglasnisbet1189 I've put myself out there plenty of times. I've also gotten some VERY good press for 5 albums worth of music. The overwhelming majority of reviewers seem to agree more with Yngwie than you. And I'm very much aware of how Yngwie is these days. Still, Jeff Loomis agreed with him. Derek Sherinian agreed enough to play on one of my albums. Mattias IA Eklundh did the same. Am I the best thing since sliced bread? No.
You on the other hand. Who are you? How are your ears? What's your playing like? I had a look at your channel. Big surprise! Nothing there.
As for my narration. Feel free to dislike it. Next time, try to write something constructive.
