DOD FX10 Bi-FET Preamp

ONLY VOLUMN & TONE, NO BRAIN OPERATION, YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING EASIER THAN FX10

THIS IS THE FIRST DOD PRODUCT WHICH I THINK IT IS GOOD. I PUT IT IN THE EFFECT LOOP FROM A REAL TUBE II PREAMP. IT DOES WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO DO, BOOSTS UP THE SIGNAL WITHOUT ADDING ANY COLOR. IT DOES MATTER TO WORK WITH CLEAN OR OVERDRIVE SOUND. I FEEL FX10 IS BETTER THAN MXR MIRCOAMP WHICH ADD SOME OVERDRIVE IN THE SIGNAL.

I JUST GOT IT

I HAVE NO IDEA

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PEDAL, NO MATTER YOU ARE PLAYING JAZZ, COUNTRY, BLUES, ROCK ...... PUT FX10 AFTER YOU OVERDRIVE AND COMPRESSOR, STEP ON IT WHEN YOU SOLO, YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG.

Two knobs. Simple to operate.

Unlike one or two of the other reviewers here, I haven't found it noisy. All in all, a pretty transparent effect.

It's been reliable so far, but it does suffer from that classic DOD problem of having a fragile switch. I'm not sure how much gigging this pedal would stand up to...

Haven't needed to contact them.

A great clean boost pedal. It really brings ordinary single-coil pickups to life (haven't tried it with humbuckers), and makes everything brighter, punchier and more chimey (think classic Edge). While it's a clean boost, it can be used to get a really subtle break-up. I find it works best at the very beginning of my chain.

How can you beat it. 2 knobs, one for volume, one for tone.

Set it up last in my effects loop after a Boss Compression/Sustain, Chorus & Delay for boosting leads. Works an absolute treat with both my Strats through a Fender Rock Pro combo.

Is sometimes noisy depending on the venues I'm playing at.

Up until recently would stake my life on it. But of late been having a lot of trouble with the switch. Have pulled it out & repaired myself a couple of times, but the switch is diffently on it's last legs. Not great for a pedal that's only 4 years old.

Certainly not as robost as my Boss pedals, one of which I've had for 15 years.

N/A

If not for a more robust switch, would be a 10. Why don't other manufacturers build one? Certainly beats using a graphic eq.

Easy. 3 knobs. not an issue..

I bought this pedal for 20 dollars at a pawn shop having absolutely NO idea what it would do or sound like.. I ADORE it. It does almost nothing, but make my guitar louder, shimmer, and increase the beauty of the guitar. I use a lot of pedals, and I use this one first to boost the signal through the pedals. I'll be experimenting different orders, but I think this is so important. I actually NEVER turn it off. It is on %100 percent of the time.

Don't want this review to be too gushy. #1, i hate the switch. DOD switches suck hard balls. They really devalue their gear with such shoddy work.. #2, I hate that '8 power jack. Why can't DOD just use the standard AC adapter port, like BOSS? You have to use those headphone-looking jacks to power this.. #3, the battery port always falls off on DOD's. I've lost mine many years ago..

For something so important to my sound, DOD doesn't make me confident that I can rely on this...
Anyway, the pedal works great, no problems, just would do with some more confident materials...
I'm giving this a lower rating..

probably sucks, or they'd have corrected that shoddy switch by now...

This is an excellent pedal to be used as a CLEAN BOOST.. It has a shimmering sound and has excellent mid/high end response, and the bass comes through with great punchy-ness and presence.. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a boost.. peace.

About as easy as it comes, kids. Hate DOD switches though, but I just leave it on all the time. Still, minus-2 for the cheesy switch.

I swear by it. My acoustic / electric is just too weany coming off the guitar. This gives me what I need, whether I'm going to the main board or my Carvin tube amp. Even ran my Strat though it into to main board when I was too lazy to carry my guitar amp. Terrific gain without all the slop or killing the tone.

Except for the stupid switch, this dude will be here with the cockroaches after Saddam drops the big one on us.

Who knows?

If I were conniving creep, I'd tell you all it sucks so that I could hoard them for myself. Fact is, it's a keeper, one of a kind. I've been using a TS-10 to increase my signal for years, but this is better: Fatter sound without any noise or break-up. It's NOT an overdrive pedal, boys and girls. It's for good, clean gain and maybe some tweaks to your lead tone if you want it. Paid embarrassingly little for it considering how much I value it. Major keeper.

The hardest thing about this pedal is matching up the tone and volume knobs, but you have to do that with every pedal you get so it's not a problem. It provides a good, clean boost.

My setup goes as follows Wahsburn BT-3 (that's my guitar) to DOD fuzz, to Ibanez Power Lead, to Rocktron Rampage, to this pedal, to boss HR-2 harmonist. That's before the amp, starting with the send in the effects loop, I have a Morley Wah, to Dano reverb. This pedal does ad some noise to your setup, but nothing noticeable. I put it right after the distortions b/c it boost whatever you put before it and I don't want to boost my whole setup. I use it for if I do a clean solo and the bassist is drowning out my sound without distortion in it. That is just one of it's many uses. You can also use it to change your sound. The tone pot does a great job. It also makes good feedback if used properly. It also sounds good with distortion too, and I do use it with distortion. The sound that it makes is whatever you feed into it maybe higher or lower in tone, but it's pretty much what you feed into it. If you get it and it sounds like crap that's b/c what you are feeding into it sounds like crap.

It looks very reliable. There isn't much to go wrong, and I could pretty much fix it myself. The box and stomp switch seem alot stronger than DOD's current line up. To give you an idea of how simplistic it is, I don't understand why DOD even put circuit boards in the box.

This company sucks b/c they don't make this pedal or anything like this now. What is wrong with DOD this is probably the only pedal of it's kind and they discontinued it why?

I like to play like a blues metal, and I also like to make freakish sounds come out of my amp. This pedal fits perfectly into both of those categories. If it were stolen I would be so pissed off. I would then work on trying to recreate one in my "lab" (that means bedroom). If I ever find another one, I would buy it in a hearbeat b/c it would be cool to have two of these in the setup, one where mine is now, and one to be the last in the chain.

Easy, easy easy. This is the volume boost I've looked for for years. I use it in my effects loop to bring up my volume for solos both clean and distorted. Two controls: Tone and Level, so you can bring your volume up and attenuate the treble so it doesn't rip people's heads off. No manual, but this is really a simple unit to figure out for this purpose.

I use this on my pedalboard with my Mesa Mark III, Budda Superdrive 30, or Rivera Jake. Sounds great with them all. Not noisy in the loop, but in front of the amp it probably is. Never tried it there, though.

Would depend on it, but I also have a FatBoost on my pedal board set to raise the distorted channel volume, so I have a back up in my rig already. I use both because the clean and distorted channels seem to boost a little differently through the same setting (on either the Fulltone or the DOD), so I set each one up for a channel apiece.

Haven't dealt with DOD, but Digitech has done several repairs on some old pedals, and since they're more or less the same company I would hope they'd be okay. They take awhile to do repairs. These are cheap, though, so why not buy 2 or three, just in case?

A great match for anything you play. I'm looking for another one now to put in place of my FatBoost; I'd then either put the FB in front of my amp or sell it for a quick $100-150.00 profit. I won't say that it's as good as the Fulltone, or capable of doing the same things, but as a clean volume boost, set in an effects loop, for solos it's great.

Stick this pedal in the effects loop, and voila!! a kickass boost you've been looking for. It doesn't alter the sound, just makes it louder. No frickin' overdrive, no frickin' distortion pedal, just the sound of your amp, but louder.

I use a Marshall JCM2000 with a Les Paul Custom Deluxe. I use a Dunlop crybaby 535Q, and an old school Digitech TSR-12 rack unit in the effects loop..

I think this unit should be reliable. I've had it about three months and haven't had a problem.....It's a pretty simple design....not alot to go wrong...

I would replace this unit if lost or stolen....It is the holy grail that I have been looking for years...It simply boosts the sound of your amp.....

This thing is as about aas simple as it gets. Two knobs: TONE and GAIN.

It's very quiet, unlike some DOD pedals I;ve tried. In addition, it provides plenty of clean boost without altering the character of the sound you put into it. I use it last in a pedalboard, and it does a great job of boosting whatever preceded the pedal, without changing the sonic character of the sound. It's also capable of a LOT of gain. If you want a pedal that's capable of providing a lot of clean boost, this is a good choice. Really inexpensive, too.

Made of metal; a solidly built unit. Like most DOD pedals; the standard configuration. I gig with it; no problems. It gets stomped on for most leads, so it's used a lot.

Never dealt with them on this product. On another product, I called DOD/Digitech a couple of years ago; they were friendly and helpful.

I''d buy it again. As a matter of fact, I recommend it to anyone desiring clean boost, without alteration of the basic tonal character of your rig. It works well as the LAST pedal in a pedalboard, particularly in front of a good tube amp. You can use it to boost the basic clean guitar signal, punishing the amp''s input. You can also use it, say, to boost whatever you''re doing in the pedalboard; with a distortion pedal engaged at rhythm level, kickin
