All user reviews for the DOD FX69 Grunge

This is a pretty awesome overdrive considering the price. There are the simple 1/4" input and ouputs as well as the input for a power supply. This is an analog overdrive pedal. This cannot be edited with a computer nor controlled by MIDI. It is not rackable, it is a foot pedal.


UTILIZATION

The effects editing on this pedal is pretty straightforward. There are three knobs, level, drive, and tone. These knobs are pretty self explanatory. There is no need for a manual, though I didn't buy it with one so I can't say for sure.


SOUND QUALITY

I like using this with a Strat or Tele. It doesn't really do a Les Paul much justice although it's still good with one. The amp of choice is my favorite, the Fender Twin, and it also works well when used in conjunction with the dirty channel on most Marshalls. With the Twin and Strat (or even the tele), it's almost an alternative to cranking the amp. While I would still do that anyway, I would kick in the pedal and get a great rock sound that has a ton of bite but not too much fuzz. Think SRV or some nasty garage rock and you're in the ballpark. With the Marshall, it sounds good with the clean tone, giving it some dirt that is usually not there. When used with the dirty channel it can be a good boost to whatever sound you are looking for, usually for me I kick up the high end and really get soaring lead tones that sound fantastic. It also is a true bypass pedal, which is great if you don't like messing with your tone.


OVERALL OPINION

I can't say many negative things about this pedal, it's cheap and it does the trick. It's certainly not my favorite overdrive, but I'd say it competes respectably with most of them, and at half the price I'd say it's a real winner. Anyone looking for a good overdrive for a relatively low price would do well to check this out.

It looks like a distortion pedal to Analogik boti purple (no, pa the song Hole ...).... input and output jack (yeah fo ben kan even scratching his branch before turn!)? an outlet on a ct and a battery cage on top ......... Voil

UTILIZATION

Knob from left to right:
Loud: Used to adjust the output volume.
Low: serves to adjust the low
High: used to adjust the high frequencies
Grunge: c rather then the spcial ..... In fact, this knob is used to assay the "grunge Grézillé" k'engendre this pdale.Sur 3 / 3 you + ke iu the grunge sound Garage ka koi then 1 / 3 c + 1peu audible ......

SOUND QUALITY

If seeing the dirty grunge well drooling a well will do it for you! srieusement the pedals for me is destiny environments or underground punk + + dirty sound is the group of Notore. This is my effect pedals Premire k'j'utilizai rpt with my band in Tasma (Bdarieux) May I never used it in concert because I opt for a Zoom and then for the distortion of my Marshall amp (by the way the crunch amp propoz by c approximates much of his dear Kurt +). Depui and I lost the pedals ... or we ml vol!
Kan I Utilize c't with my Ibanez GR70.

OVERALL OPINION

A good value trs qualitprix: kan kon you are young and it was the guitar beginners pa forcment lot of money put in gear and the DOD can easely iron affair!
But over time it will quickly become useless if a hand pushes a rglages for his "personal "........
Bye bye ..
Chino

Distortion pedals filthy analogue
connecitque jack ...
it is pretty plotot I think ..

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple: a drive, an acute, serious and volume
Tone of the knobs are effective trs, trs and interactive
So it will go fine with trs rglages
trs a positive point: the location of the battery, the rear derrire potentiomtres, with a nice little trap

SOUND QUALITY

Warf, then the the quality I would say that gouts of adpend ...
sounds a little natural, with a grain serrbr trs /> so I would say that I like very much as one-off effect, for one of its kind Billy Corgan live
it's pretty dirty and saturates really not bad, much more than a Boss ds1
Now, as the amp adpend
I play on a classic 30 (all lamps), and passing some time on rglages, is not bad at all
can also have a sound enough garage, or even a sound fuzz trs kind of good quality big muff, but also saturbr /> what I love is with some delay (or even not bad!), with a bottom and drive the treble and the bass was about 14h, it was a sound that dchire compltement, gender Lucassen live on Star One during his solo
In any case, the addition of delay makes the trs clean, and I must say it's pretty deadly

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a while and I'm very satisfied
of course, I do not guarantee that a ring on a transistor amp, but my all-loupiotte is really gnial
I tried a lot of other models (and I possde a little too), and the only one that sounds like a (indeed, there is no equivalent. ....)
Then, buy 30 with our friends the Germans, do not hsiter long
Obviously I would do well this election

PEDAL
super technology: press on it

input / output (try while input / input, see what happens)

four knobs: loud, butt, face, grunge (strong, ass, mouth, misery)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very sensitive to small changes, which I would say at least five independent types of distortions.

The grunge knob add to the potato, it works very well to zero, but for Metallica riffs should at least go to 12.

SOUND QUALITY

Effect: a little metal, but damn, what it is now!
Solos for himself that it may do the trick, but never in the same adjustment as for the riffs. It should boost the treble for solos. Fuzzyesque

OVERALL OPINION

I use the last two days.
After ten minutes of play on my Fender Mex Start, I wanted to see if Floyd Rose bridge, so it sounded good, now. She eats the character of the guitar, not at all.

Frankly, it rocks.
And I say this after owning Marshall Shred Master, Boss MT2, Boss HM2 ... It is far better!

WARNING: there have been several variants of the DOD GRUNGE, mine has the knobs: LOUD, BUTT, FACE, GRUNGE. It seems that this is the first.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days, I have the boss 0c-2 and is the difference between two pedals is minimal, comparable to see (when I use them all, the sound does not earn almost nothing).
Pedal to the area solid, the settings are simple, say that there is a wah wah in mid stroke position in the distortion.

There is a sustain interest, we gain the duration of the sound.

The interuptor is very sensitive, it is touched, it triggers. It takes some getting used

And then unplugging the jack to turn off the effect (for battery) is bad-especially if it is forgotten. I will be adding an inter.

a good pedal to start I think, but get tired quickly.

Dja As said, it's an analog distortion.
The case is sturdy mtal the bullet proof!
Dtail little boring, as an old mine, the power supply jack is in the format 3.5

UTILIZATION

Spcial nothing except that the equalizer acts only on the bass and treble ... the interaction of the two food compltement mdiums! the same stroke volume the sound does not pierce the bottom more in the mix ...

SOUND QUALITY

The PDAL has DCRI t much, some say it's shit ... for my part I have for some years and I'm a fan of the grain.
It is a distortion of nag but do not pay in his grave has mtal ... well, I do not like the mtal!

The PDAL has a grain rocky sound really aggressive, she went very easy and leaves a feedback in his rather large, I personally use it on the good riffs o RATM she wonders, or dirty rhythm on the Nirvana ...

For versatility, it's simple it does not, the sound is saturated and knob gain will make the sound even dirtier, but no crunch with it, the sound is saturated and it all. Ms. struggle for precision, it is not his forte, she can do her a dirty and do not ask him anything else.

Finally it is sensitive trs the guitar and amp, I play a Gibson Les Paul Studio (until the hopefully) but against depending on the amp the sound can be either g nial is not great at all ...

The note will be 9 because, despite its qualities, it's really annoying to see them disappear mdiums and not to break into the mix!

OVERALL OPINION

The pedals for distortion, as a matter of sensitivity should not be too swayed by so and so who will say that this is crap pedals to praise other than a personal essay and which I has not caught my attention more than 2 min silent as it dull!

Résumé to the grunge is a nice pedals with his grain and his characters well it by banging it against 0 and versatility that's all, a great sensitivity to the amp and HP and then eat it the default Nervi mdiums.
For my part, I love the pedals and I will try to change it to correct its default of mdium.

The DOD Grunge pedal is a bit misnamed, it can maybe create a "grunge" sound for you if you play with it, but it is mostly a pedal for metal lovers.
Its a fairly typical distortion box, 1/4" input and output, red led, ac adapter input, in a sturdy metal casing with a cheap plastic stomp button and battery cover like all DOD boxes, when will they ever learn not to use plastic? It has 4 knobs; "loud", "low", "high", and "grunge" (which means 'gain' in DOD-land for this pedal anyway). Its pretty simple to use.

UTILIZATION

I was a bit suprised at how much control the "low" and "high" knobs give you. You can't just max this thing out and rock out like some guitarists are tempted to do, but you will equally lose out by just leaving the EQ at 12 o'clock. You can add a ton of thick low end to your palm muting riffing with the "low" knob without it getting muddy as quickly as I would expect, and the 2 eq knobs seem a bit interactive. It adds a lot of versatility to this pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal will probably elicit a 'love it or hate it' reaction from most guitarists. I do like the meaty crunch of it and the amount of gain possible, but it does start to sound a bit "synthetic" to my ears and never really sounds "warm". Its a very raw, grating distortion. It might be cool to play Pantera riffs, and detune to play newer metal, but..... I would never play prettier music like indie rock or even screamo with it. Its just to nasally and over the top. I go to this pedal when I want super aggressive distortion for metal type playing. I have the sense to reach for my Tube Screamer when I want creamy overdrive/distortion for lead/soling, and my Snarling Dogs Black Dog when I want a more classic sound.

I hate the sound of it with the gain turned down, its not very versatile in that regard either.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had mine for several years, just resurrected it from the dustbin to use it again. I like the amount of low end you can really pull out of this thing. It will add some calories to your sound, it makes me want to palmn mute for days. What I hate about it.... is that it is a bit harsh and seems a bit synthetic, not natural sounding like a tube amp cranked the heck up.
You can get them pretty cheap now. I would say they are worth trying out to see if you dig it, especially if you are into aggressive pedals to push your sound overthe top.
