FX42-B Bass EQ

I used this pedal with my Peavey Milestone III four strings bass guitar with a Peavey Basic sixty (a beginner bassist setup). It a little noisy. No way with this noise. It changes your bass natural tone also. I used this pedal with a FX 80... This two pedals can give you a decent sound working toghether. No more than that. I will sound just decent, you won´t sound as you want. What you want for 50$? 

It works good, because DOD makes excellent things. But probably you won´t use it for a long time. The noise this pedal sends to your amplifier is horrible. A good thing! It comprimes the sounds too, you can get a nice compression if you needs. Well, I used the DOD FX 42 for a year, but now I get an Ibanez BE 10 as equalizer. I prefer Ibanez so far. FX 42 is a nice beginning, but believe me, you´ll want change you sound. Not bad for a 30$ pedal, but if you can get something better, don´t doubt. Wait for a better oportunity...

Really easy... Just eight slide knobs, seven for equalization, one for level. No more for explain. Who needs an user manual for an equalizer?

No. The quality of DOD´s products is great.

I play mainly funk, jazz & metal. I never used any pedals before this, I brought the FX 42 because this the cheaper way to introducing to bass guitar pedals. I have been playing with this pedal almost a year. I had a DOD FX 80 compressor/sustainer too. An another beginner´s pedal. Well, right now, I tested another pedals, so... If somebody stole my DOD FX 42, I wouldn´t get it again (I sold this pedal a week ago...). It gave me a nice surprise when I started to play because it comprimes the signal too. I think the slides are weak. I compares it to an Ibanez BE 10. Maybe Ibanez won´t give you the presence what DOD can give you, but the first one can gives you a cleaner sound (without noises) and won´t change your bass tones. I was looking a pedal what can do this work. Ibanez is better for me, but remember, DOD isn´t a bad choice at the beginning.
