DOD Flangers for Guitar

Bought it a while ago for $69.99. When I 1st got the pedal I used it all the time, then I started not using it, and didn't use it for a few years, but then like a week or two ago, I threw it into my setup. This is one awesome flanger! Most of the flangers now give you the stupid "airplane flying over you/panning" sound, but this DOD flanger is way better, not stupid airplane noises! I started fooling around with the pedal the other day again, you can get some really crazy sounds outa this thing! You can make it sound like this: a chorus pedal, a very fast tremolo, almost like a rotary speaker, a cool, wierd slinky-ish sounding flanger (just need to hear to get what I mean), thick or soft flanger, wierd/crazy computer-like sounds, and also, like you are playing in a giant, never ending tube, or like you are playing in a giant closed can! Like I said, you can get some awesome and some really wierd noises outa this pedal, some really wierd noises! Can't complain about it, if you are looking for an insane pedal, get this! Oh yeah, always use the adapter they tell you to use, if you don't use batteries! I once took a 10V adapter from something else to power one of my distortion pedals, I smelled smoke, I burned up the adapter and the pedal was ruined! THe pedal sounded terrible, the sound/tone was destroyed! When it says 9V adapter, always use a 9V if it says 9V, and make sure it is an adapter for guitar pedals, not just any 9V adapter from your phone or something!!! Made of very durable metal, but the on/off thing you step on is made of plastic, no big deal though, it lasts! I have had this pedal for 9 years, perfect condition, no scratches or dings, and works perfectly like a brand new one, along with looking brand new! Still sounds awesome too!!! This is an awesome flanger, you can get the wierdest/coolest sounds outa this pedal! My setup now, I am gonna add this into my setup! I use Epiphone and Gibson Les Pauls, my pedalboard has-Boss V Wah-Dunlop Wah-Digitech Whammy-Boss Metal Zone-Boss DS-1-Acoustic Simulator-Boss CH-1 chorus-Boss EQ-Digitech Delay. (I am adding in the DOD flanger for fun!) Also, in my pedalboard, I have a Talk Box that I run through my stacks effects loop. I have a tuner on my pedal that I run after my A/B selector, and I have a footswitch for my fullstack that controls the distortion from the head(turns it on/off) and controls the fx loop(on/off). I run all this through my Peavey Fullstack! Awesome guitars, with awesome pedals, and an awesome, powerful stack=insane setup! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought it from a local music store for $70. I didn't have any fx at the time, so I bought what sounded good. DOD has some good pedals, I am not sure if the flanger is one of them, I don't use it much, but it sounds ok. It can give you some pretty wierd sounds, swells, chorus, and flanger. The DOD flanger is a pretty weak flanger compared to what is out now. Built alright, no problems with it yet. There are definitly better flangers out there now.

The DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger is a guitar stomp box that is analog based. It has both a 1/4 inch input and output and both a battery compartment and a power supply jack. It is not a rackable unit as it is a stomp box. UTILIZATION The configuration of the DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger is just about as easy as it gets. It simply has two knobs - one for speed, and one for regeneration. Since it only has two knobs, it is easy to get a good sound from this, even if there isn't a great deal of versatility available with this pedal. I don't have a manual for the DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger, and you really don't need it because it is incredibly easy to use. SOUND QUALITY The sound quality of the DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger is pretty good, but doesn't blow me by any means. It is good at what it does, which is getting a basic flanger tone. It isn't incredibly rich sounding, but does have a nice warmth to it and does provide and accurate flanger effect. I have only used this pedal with guitar - usually a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb. However, this pedal is suitable for any instrument you can plug into it. While I have definitely used better sounding flangers, this will do the job if you are looking for a simple flanger tone. OVERALL OPINION I've been using the DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger for about two or three years and have found it to be an effective flanger pedal. I would rather use a Boss BF-2 or BF-3 or an Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress over this pedal because they sound better and have more versatility, but for the price, the DOD FX 70 is a nice option. However, if you are looking for a flanger pedal I would probably recommend one of the Boss pedals as the difference in price is not worth the downgrade in versatility and overall sound quality. I would encourage those interested to try out a few different flanger pedals before buying, including the DOD FX 70 Stereo Flanger.
