All user reviews for the DOD FX87 Edge

Effects pedal that I bought new in September 2006 but was built in 1988 (according to the manual that comes with the catalog of that year DOD). I found a store in St-Brieuc.
So it's a pedal that is very simple:
-A switch to lock and a knob for adjusting the effect.
-4 Small LEDs that indicate the effect level in the game (which varies depending on the attack with a pick, the output level of the guitar and of course the level of effect.
Power in the format "mini-jack," like all the DOD.

UTILIZATION

This pedal, a very subtle, is used to restore the edge and thus to its accuracy.
Which is very practical to boost or lead them out of the mix a solo.

In my line of effect:
Guitar -> Dunlop Cry Baby -> DOD OD250 -> Electro-Harmonix Big Muff (Russian) -> DOD FX87 "The Edge" -> MXR M134 Stereo Chorus -> Guyatone 107 "Moving Box" -> Amp

SOUND QUALITY

Depending on the setting, the effect is passed almost unnoticed, as it can boost the high mids and treble to give precision to the sound ...)
The advantage of this is that it is very subtle if the setting is not too great and the pedal does not change at all the grain of the amp (or distortion used).
It can lead a truly personalized, it's great.
By clean, I used to bright.

In short, a special effect, which is not used constantly, which really personalizes the SON (the first and only time I see this pedal despite my almost daily visits of several forums in recent years ...) then find new and almost forgotten in a store is a chance.

OVERALL OPINION

Effect so unique, that has not sold to be very time I think.
I assume the other manufacturers have this kind of effects pedal (I think Boss for example, makes all sorts of effects anyhow) but it's the first effect of this type that I try and c 'is really great for solos that are well out of the mix.
I use it on almost all my solos.

Try it guys, if you find one ...

The DOD FX87 Edge, also known as the Psycho Acoustic Processor, is an effects pedal, originally designed for acoustic instruments. I've used it with both acoustic and electric guitar, however. The pedal is an analog one, with 1/4" connections for input and output, a nine volt battery compartment, and a jack for a nine volt power supply as well. It isn't going to be rack mountable since it's a stomp box and is engaged with your foot.

UTILIZATION

Without exaggeration, the DOD FX87 Edge is the simplest pedal on the planet as it's only got a single knob! You literally cannot get easier than this one, and the one parameter is vague enough just to be labeled 'process.' It's basically and exciter/enhancer pedal, giving you tone a quick boost on the high end mostly. A manual surely shouldn't be necessary here.

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal definitely does as advertised, as the DOD FX87 Edge is a nice little enhancer pedal that does a nice job for live shows. I don't think I'd use something like this in the studio, but it's definitely useful for shows where you might be looking to cut through the mix easier. Having used it on both acoustic and electric guitar, I'd say it's more effective on acoustic, but isn't useless for electric either. I'm not sure that I would buy one of these for my guitar rig, but I certainly see it's worth.

OVERALL OPINION

It doesn't seem like there are too many of these pedals floating around, nor do I thikn it's worth seeking out the DOD FX87 Edge. However, if you do see one on the cheap and/or get a chance to check it out, it's certainly a useful pedal that can come in handy for live shows when you're looking to excite, or get a bit of a cleaner boost to your sound. This pedal should be pretty cheap if you can find one used, so if you might need something like this, the FX87 could be a good way to go...
