DOD FX10 BI-FET Preamp

Booster pedals analog format. SETTING THE tonalit.Boitier hefty volume and input / output jack 6.35, power by 9V battery or AC adapter. But why with a 3.5 jack socket (chassis) format instead of Boss? First failure. Deuxime ratage: the switch. Over time, this one began to function Manir capricious (like "you can make me jump on both feet, I would not move"). Irritating. I finally open the bte for discovering that the switch is a small patch of less than 1 / 2 cm Diameter, fix on a piece of plate 1cm ct. It is clear that the DOD has made SAVINGS (when looking at the switch under the microscope, one can see an accountant in Runion DOD STUDY currently the best fawn crop of the think ). He eventually not work at all and I carrment boost chang (Rocktron Nitro from home, another matter). Entire DOD FX SERIES suffers from the same disease. A shame when you see what these pedals can go as sounds.

UTILIZATION

No studies particulires to use it. One branch. It boosts. Neuneus for terminally ill, there is a manual.

SOUND QUALITY

No coloration of sound. The base for those who want a signal booster feeble and no change of legalization. If we move on we will SETTING THE Tone sound with a more severe acute or + characters but the basic sound of your respect. I used a sound team with a piezo prampli without internal as well as various electric when it comes to "out" of the mix. Quality of sound totally disagree ECONOMY couraging penny-pinching on the switch.

OVERALL OPINION

+ As mentioned above, I no longer used, the switch has given up. The FX 10 is no longer produced. Too bad for her. The switch is really cheap in my craw. Even with use "soft" and parsimonious, it has made me. Ing the rest esprer who bump Designed not only NASA, without which the astronauts are to return ... prs If you fall under the spell of a DOD FX SERIES dwell on what p. .. switch, especially if it is an opportunity

Analog FET preamp.

UTILIZATION

Easiest would be to remove the knobs, but do not push it ...
With LEVEL & TONE, is obtained by no means an extensive sonic palette, but this is not the goal.
Please note that the pedal requires a power supply. 10V continuous (mini-jack 3.5 mm) or a 9V battery.
Personally, I crafted a power supply. I connect 9V battery internal to the coupler, and it works very well.
Prohibition of playing tap on the switch which is after all, absolutely not designed for soles Rangers, but rather for young girl's fingers.
I'm not bothered by this omission, since this pedal is part of one of my loops on my pedal board.

SOUND QUALITY

It increases the volume significantly, practice 20 dB, without any alteration of sound, and there is great!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, and it has become an indispensable.
It's very easy to use, you get quickly what you will, although this is a weak effect in terms of strength.
Unfortunately I could not try either the FA-1 BOSS, or clones in Hot Wire Audio or prophecysound systems or the TC Electronic INTEGRATED PREAMPLIFIER since become extremely rare & expensive (especially on a site auction).
Good price / quality ratio, in addition I bought it new for 89 EUR a store Teutonic.
This choice I would do without hesitation.
