MGR/mtebaldi « DOD Deathmetal Distortion »
Published on 06/24/10 at 15:00DOD is known for offering very cool effect pedals at very reasonable prices. I should I review a discontinued product though? Well, not only this is awesome distortion pedal but also, as chessy as this may sound, it made the musician Im today. Back in Brazil, this was the pedal that made my high school band, the heaviest in town, and trust me when you hold such a title, not only you will get to hook up with a bunch of girls, but you gain the respect of anyone on your school.
My brother bought this pedal for our band in Brazil in 1996, in my country, if you want to buy any electronic equipment and pay half of the price you go to our neighbor Paraguay. Thats where he found the DOD Death Metal. I recently purchased one on ebay, I paid $35.

What I love the most about this pedal now, besides all the stories I can relate to it, its how thick and heavy I can get my guitar to sound. I currently leave the level knob (R.I.P) on 12 oclock, the low knob (guts) on 3 oclock, the mid knob (pain) and the high knob (scream) on 1 oclock. But through experimentation I always find different settings that gives my guitar very interesting sounds.
The flaw here is from DOD for discontinue its production.
DOD pedal are really though, this death metal have been through rough times and still work perfectly. Thats how exactly a guitar pedal should be. You can power this pedal via 9 Volts batteries or through power cord. It comes with 4 interesting named knobs (R.I.P, Guts, Pain, Scream) that gives you control for respectively leve, low, mids and highs. A led light on right on center indicated when the pedal in on, or if you are running out of battery juice.
The heaviest guitar sound you can get by a small and inexpensive pedal. Look for it on Ebay now.
