Members C Fuzz Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 The delays are great. I love all their envelope filters. As with most stuff it is personal preferance. They all seem to go for cheap so they are a good deal for sure. I have had probably most all of them at 1 time or another, thanks to ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heineken Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I only have the FX25b envelope filter which is a great bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 love the envelope, the chorus, and the delay. not so much their dirt pedals. the digitech PDS delays are hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bill Cosby Posted June 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 thanks guys. ill have to check out the modulation. i need some phasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 try the FX**B flange and phase, those were my 1st two pedals ever. good stuff. PDS series are great, but dont hype them up to much cause im trying to get them all and dont want the prices skyrocketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members byteblock Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 DOD FX10 Bi-fet Preamp is one of the best boosters you can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 ive bought some old used DOD pedals from ebay because theyre so cheap i figured 'what the hell?'. theyre all very low quality construction. i have a stereo flanger i think sounds pretty damn good. another flanger that sounds much more subtle (boring to me). i just got a digital delay and its not that good.i have the red distortion (supra, or whatever) and its one of the nastiest (in a bad way) dirt boxes ive ever used.id say with low enough expectations you wont be disappointed.

Members cloudscapes Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 construction is fine. the switches are annoying and often prone to failer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 construction is fine. the switches are annoying and often prone to failer though im not trying to sound like a dickhole or nothin' but arent switches prone to failure a construction issue?

Members cloudscapes Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 just clearing things up so people dont assume its the whole thing that's shoddy. I've had half a dozen dod pedals, never had a problem with switches so theyre not ALL bad. though I know it sometimes happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've had a fair few of them and never had a problem with any of the switches, and that goes for 2 of the 3 versions of the switch I'm aware of. the newer ones have big square switches, the older ones had long thing switches and the ones even older than that had long thin switches with 'DOD' written on them. Back when DOD was still in business, I always saw them as a cheaper and more interesting version of Boss. The quality is great, and they made some pretty wacky stuff for noisemakers. Look out for any of the delays, the Vibrothang, any of the flangers, the Classic Fuzz, any of the phasers and any of the envelope filters. Some of the dirt pedals are a bit {censored}, but there are a couple which are ok. The compressors are supposed to be really great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members archlilim Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 As a noise maker, they're one of my go tos, sadly they're going out. I need a Buzz Box badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DylanWilde Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 My FX80b Comp/Sustain is used all the time. +1. Same here, broseph. Also, the FX50B is an AWESOME warm, fuzzy, thick OD when used into an amp that's breaking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I had an FX52 Classic Fuzz for a while that was very cool. I sold it for something crazier (ZOOM Ultra Fuzz) and I kinda wish I hadn't. It has a bit of a rep on HCEF as a Big Muff killer- smaller and more versatile than the NYC Muffs. Currently there's a DOD FX75C Flanger on my board, which is also very cool. Better for Police style chorus-y warbles than for jet-plane whooshy noises. I had the FX75B years ago, which, from memory, was a little wilder. I've earmarked it for replacement when the BYOC Flanger kit finally comes out, but this time I think I'll do the smart thing and hang on to it. There's a few DOD pedals still being sold new, and for the money they're probably worth a punt (although as stated, the Supra Distortion is probably not the best way to spend your dirt pedal budget). Used, they frequently come up for cheap on eBay- check the HC Reviews to see which are worth bidding on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greenweenie Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 DOD pedals I own: FX52 Classic Fuzz - Awesome fuzz! Really LOUD. Can get you from smooth Fuzz Face/Muff to nasty and gated with just a turn of the tone knob. It doesn't get affected by buffers and thats a good thing. FX60 Stereo Chorus - Really close to the Boss CE-2 with stereo outs. Fools many people due to the one output jack but that jack is a stereo jack. Trimpots don't do much to my ears but great for leslie sounds. DOD/Digitech PDS8000 Echoplus - Now heres a real gem. Got this for $20. Works perfectly and has the battery door. I love it to bits. Doesn't sound sterile or cold due to the 8-bit chip installed. It can drive an amp into overdrive too. DOD 440 - Awesome envelope filter. Prefer this to the FX25. Nice filter sound and the range knob is wide at the ends and has a really nice "baw" at low range settings. Oh yeah, I tape all the battery doors on them.

Members Brian Marshall Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 i haven't liked many of the new ones I've tried, especially the digital ones. synthwah was especially disappointing. The old 80's FX20 phaser is not bad. The newer ones sound cleaner, but not as cool IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 FX65 Chorus is definitely a winner, second favorite next to the CE-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudscapes Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 I love the FX65, totally underated and kills a number of more popular pedals the PDS8000 is a classic. $20 is an absolute steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DADGADammit Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 FX90 analog delay. great delay. sounds just as good as a DM-2 to me. FX10 bi fet preamp. you can't find a better boost, especially for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
