MGR/Steve « DOD FX75C Flanger »
Published on 06/25/04 at 15:00Bought 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!
