FX55-C

I have been playing a LONG time and have many guitars and amps of all types... I found the pedal to be very compatible with all guitars and amps... Mostly I used a Vibratone Guitar with a lowgain Lawrence humbucker and a Solid State Peavey Revolution Stereo amp with this pedal. This pedal is something a little different in the way of distortion pedals. 1st, IT'S QUIET!!! It doesn't compress the signal much if at all, thus it doesn't produce a "saturated" overdrive type sound. Turn up it's gain setting and you get more Fuzzy/Buzzy sound than Sustain. But even at it's highest settings the overtones produced remain CLEAR and DISTINCT without becoming muddy (thus it works FABULOUSLY with delay and chorus). It's got TONS of Signal Boost available, and a WIDE BAND EQ, so a LOT of variety is possible. It produces some interesting and usefull lead tones, but REALLY shines at enhancing your rythym playing !!! Punky-Speed Metal types will LOVE this thing, But so will retro 60s players... ANYBODY who is into creative sound and/or tone enhancement should try one.

I've never had a DOD pedal fail.

3 knobs - Vol (lots of BOOST), Tone (wideband EQ.), and Gain (NOT sustain). Pretty simple, but not intended to mimic your favorite players or recordings. The pedal is very usefull at ALL rahges of settings for creating interesting and unique sounds. But keep in mind, this is NOT the pedal you want to buy to sound like Stevie Ray, or Stevie Vai, or Little Stevie Van Zandt.

DOD builds their pedals with decent components and has a good rep. I have no personal experience with them.

I think anyone into creative sounds might find this pedal usefull-indespencable. It does things that nothing else -I- know of can do. A word about "TONESUCKING" ... If you want PURE tones, don't use FX pedals. If you're plugging into pedals, DON'T COMPLAIN about them doing what they were MADE to do.

7-string>>volume pedal>>pitch shifter>>octave>>bass synth wah>>ns-2>>compressor>>hot rod distrotion>>supra distortion>>multi chorus>>phaser>>flanger>>(ns-2)>>delay>>delay>>amp w/ reverb This is a great addition to an already wacky rig.  It's a bit squealy which is great.

Just got it, so I don't really know.

I already run a digitech Hot Rod distortion, but I needed a boost.  I picked this up off ebay cheap so now I have the option of heavy, low-end  distorion (hot rod) or a warm breakup.  If I use both, I get a great nasty squealy tone, great for wild lead parts.  Easy to use.

Many peaple have described our music as many things.  Mainly, we're heavy rock with ambient melodic overtones. www.de-fi.net

I have a lot of cheap equipment. A peavey 158 transtube, and a cheap peavey guitar. I didn't expect a lot when I got it, i just wanted a loud distortion pedal.  And for $30 I got my moneys worth. I didn't like all the feedback, thats partially from my guitar, but it was horrible. Over all i'm glad I got the pedal, but i should have sprung fo the Boss.

The pedal it self is very sturdy. It has never broken in the 3 years i've had it, but it seems like I am always replacing the 9v, yea i should get an ac adapter, but i should be able to rely on the 9v and i can't.

It is very simple.  I mean three knobs, how hard can it be?

I've been playing for 6 years and i'm glad i have it, but i wouldn't pay more than $10 for it again.
