NPD - Bring out your DOD!

DarnWeight

The Vibrothang I owned for a while had the worst tone-sucking bypass I've ever encountered in a mass-produced pedal.  The effect itself was pretty cool, but meh, too much hassle for general use.

Always fancied snagging one of the analog chorus pedals...the 60 and 65 get a lot of love, but even the Ice Box sounds pretty good from the demos I've heard.

Anyone used a DOD Chorus? I think the FX60 or 65 gets some rave reviews. The Vibrothang also looks interesting.

Was reading some old threads and it appears that @ThorpyFX used to buy cheap FX90 Delays to rob the chips which, frankly is just vandalism. I like the warm dark repeats on it, he clearly didn't rate them! 

I did indeed, and it was a glorious mine of availability for the mn3005 chips

What did you use the chips for? Have you got a stock pile of battery compartment covers?

Bought this off a mate in the 90's. Had the switches replaced a few years ago but not really used much since. It does sound very nice though.

Nice. I love the way that looks like it's come out of a NASA mission.

Just got a FX65 Chorus, should arrive next week.

Josh from JHS really rates the DOD stuff

I used them to build a batch of analog delays.......  I used to sell the battery covers. Might have one spare still though

Any excuse to visit you and Rift!

I've got an FX90 and it is one of the best and warmest delays I've ever heard.

I must admit it has exceeded my expectations. Quite addictive with or without a bit of drive.

I do love a box! Nice, is that a RAT type thingy?

Bit smoother. It does sustain nicely though, and you can thicken it up with the short BBD delay.

Did anyone else have the Grunge pedal back in the day?

I recently got rid of my DOD compressor and overdrive plus, both to people on this thread, I deliberately only gave them a 10 second test when selling as i knew I'd want to keep them.
I love the DOD stuff and think it punches well above its weight, the overdrive plus is particularly good, a homemade one is on my DIY list.

The stereo chorus gets a lot of love, but if I ever see the big box digital delay for a good price I'm having it.

What's a good price for these do we think?

Is this a problem yet?

I've had this DOD FX80-B compressor since I don't know when  -  it seems like forever. I really like the way it compresses with none of the unpleasant 'thk' of the Boss compressor I had for a short while before it. It got replaced on my main board by a Wampler Ego two or three years ago, not because the Wampler has better quality compression but just because its Blend control gives a little more flexibility. However the DOD still has its place on my small Metro home board.

Oops the image has disappeared. Try again......

Edit: I should mention that these old DODs require a reverse-polarity mini jack power connection which is a bit tedious but I made up a few leads years ago. It runs for quite a while on battery power if the leads are forgotten or misplaced.

I had one of these! Was a bit of a gateway compressor for me. I love what it did to my sound, and even though I've moved it on, I do wish I kept it.

I just got one of these on the way after your post. In fact I did a deal for a few pedals, a 2 second delay, a power supply and a few leads and other bits from somone who wanted rid of a load of DOD / Digitech / Boss items. Should be fun finding out what works and how it all works!

Jut lost 40 minutes playing Strat into FX50-B Overdrive into Freqout into FX25-B Envelope Filter into FX90 Delay.

These chaps arrived today...







The digital delay is wonderful and the Compressor Sustainer is very addictive with a bit of amp reverb. Also got a FX60 Chorus, both that and the FX65 are better than any other chorus pedal I've tried.
