    For extreme saturation

    DOD FX86 Death MetalPublished on 10/15/13 at 07:24
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    4 knobs control: "RIP", "guts", "bread" and "scream" corresponding to the bass / treble / mid / gain.

    Powered by 9V battery or adapter jack on 1.5

    (NB: this is definitely the FX 86 and FX 86B not that I do not know).

    UTILIZATION

    Easy setup, turn the knobs and we are looking ...

    Many possibilities with this (the distortion contained in the ultra-distortion, through a fuzz with infinite sustain) to a still very aggressive and dirty with his shrill treble ...

    I've read that the switch was fragile, I personally have never had to worry that side.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Cons:
    - Alas unmanageable when pushing the amp volume (feedback and breath + +)
    - Is not true bypass: generates a constant hiss when not activated

    Pros:
    - Many setting possibilities
    - Very strong metal case
    - Look fabulous in the genre!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It was my first effect pedal, bought used in 2000 for 250 francs memory is a little less than 40 € today.

    At the time, it corresponded exactly to what I wanted (discovery of saturated sounds).

    Gain often turned down because significant feedback ...

    I recently sold because I was using more (too typical metal), however in its class, it remains interesting to discover.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The knobs are effective throughout their rotations, there may be enormously low, enormously of medium, of acute enormously.
    The grain of the pedal is ultra ultra ultra ultra tight.
    The gain is not parameterizable, causing a big breath and especially a feedback absolutely monstrous and totally uncontrollable if you turn up the volume of the amp.
    With this pedal, it is not on repeat, just to be playing on the couch, taking care to cut the volume of the guitar that you do not scratch.

    With this pedal, it is not on repeat, just to be playing on the couch, taking care to cut the volume of the guitar that you do not scratch.
    That said the sound is very old school, a very tight grain, very powerful, with dominant acute cradasse a little but pleasant, a good attack and it's very aggressive.

    Somewhere uncontrollable feedback is spoiling the trick (if you push the sound)

    It should definitely s fix by adding a small component here and the ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for almost 10 years, the model with splashes of blood.
    I love its sound very aggressive ultra sharp knobs its very effective, but I hate those damn uncontrollable feedback.

    Very tight grain and very particular not suit everyone aa.

    I adore but do rarely uses because of its feedback and other noise tiring.

    She deserves all the same to be modder.

    Big extreme metal type distortion.

    1 input and 1 output, 4 knobs (volume, bass, mid, treble) and look fabulous!

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use. When the battery is installed, you plug it and play!

    SOUND QUALITY

    A very big distortion not to put all hands.
    Very difficult to adjust at first, but then what happiness. For me it's the best guitar distortion that exists.

    We can do any type of metal either thrash, death, black, doom, grind, etc. ...
    Generally found the sound we are looking fairly easily once it was well in hand.

    Generally found the sound we are looking fairly easily once it was well in hand.

    The bass are quite interesting and powerful mediums but also the highs are a bit garish and difficult to master (this may be why they called them scream ...). But once well balanced with the rest of the big ca sends power!

    It's been almost 10 years that I use and I'm really not disappointed with the sound. I used it with lots of different power amps (100W to the 2W through 10W and 30W's) and she never fails.
    The ideal is to use a 100W amp driven between 50% and 80%, that of the great powers that it delivers a big sound.

    I use a Peavey Bandit 112 and frankly it gives me satisfaction.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a good ten years and I get hooked. I never tire yet.

    The advantage is that it is intended for metal and it provides both the metal very fast and violent as in the slow and heavy metal.

    The small disadvantage is the Treble EQ is a bit difficult to master at first.
    There is also another problem (but is generally on the pedals Dod) that resides in the switch of the pedals. not very strong, I did it repaired once before edging change by a large push button switch as well purchased a robust electronics stores. And since then, no worries.

    I remake this choice if it still exists. Alas, this model is no longer and was replaced by a model similar to Digitech (but who looks a little less awesome). Indeed I hope that this new model incorporates the same features as the Dod.

    As its name suggests, this is a distortion pedal metal type, the look is nice, you know what you are dealing and the machine is particularly strong.

    UTILIZATION

    The information on the pots are a bit surprising (rip, guts, bread and scream), after handling it Consat they can modify respectively the volume, bass, mids and treble like most distortion pedals.

    The setting is less obvious than it seems, especially the treble is quite unpleasant and are quick to transform sound into a sizzling infamous.
    I tried various settings with my Cort X2 15W marshall amp and without getting something usable, in absolute terms it is possible to play with the metal but it is clearly not the nirvana ... more than many pedals similar and much more interesting have appeared since.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years but I finally put it aside in favor of a Jekyll and Hyde from Visual Sound.
    The sound of the Death Metal FX is certainly very far but it should be able to master it, really dirty and too rough for my taste, I really recommend.
