My DOD FX55 Distortion Pedal
I just wanted to pay tribute to my DOD FX55 distortion pedal. I bought it new around 1985 or so. I didn’t know better. I really can’t say anything good about this pedal. It sounds nasally but not in a fuzz face kind of way. It’s not even good for slamming the inputs of a tube amp.
If you ever have the chance to buy one…don’t

The new Supras have a tone control to tame the highs. Don’t judge this pedal by this review. Maybe his personal pedal stinks, but I have a new Chinese-made Supra as well as my original ‘93 US-made unit, and prefer them to a Boss DS-1. They are bright pedals, to be sure, but if you get the three-knob version, you can work out a sweet spot. There’s my opinion. Try it out before you decide it blows, because I’m telling you it doesn’t blow. Get a new one, because they are just as well-built as the old American-ones. Look at it this way: This pedal has been around since the early 80s, and it still in production and DOD’s most popular stomp-box to date. If anything, let it’s track record speak for itself.
