DOD Death Metal

[The Rhone]

Has any one on this forum had any experience using the DOD Death Metal Pedal?

I’ve heard some pretty cool things about it and am thinking of getting one for curiosity purposes to use on my practice amp in my bedroom. So it’s just thoughts on people who have used it.

Cheers.

Pretty much the most unusable distortion pedal I've ever tried :\ No gain knob, it's a fixed amount of distortion and just sounds a big buzzing mess...

 

[slashvanyoung]

Yeah, no gain control = no go. I really like some of the Boss pedals, the MT-2 for example. You can shape the sound a lot with the parametric mid control.

With the exception of the Whammy pedal, stay far away from any Digitech/DOD crap. Complete noise.

is this the one that used to have the pain/crush/guts knobs??
if so, i had that piece of crap...i gave it away to one of my friends & he told me it blew his speaker out

they must have got a lot of shit for those knobs cause they took em off & renamed em to bass/mids/treble

Its better on bass(misfits covers) but I would still avoid it like the plague.

worst pedal i´ve ever tried, useless, crazy feedback, lots of noise, horrible distortion, well you can imagine

Actually, the Death Metal pedal may be hilariously awful, but the Grunge pedal is even worse. A friend of mine in the 90s had it because his mom got it for him, thinking that the music he listened to was grunge (Iron Maiden, Fear Factory, Pantera, etc.)

 

[mikko/boogie]

The Death Metal is one of the best pedals ever for making harsh noise, and considered a gem in those circles. But for "regular" music it's utter crap.

I prefer the Grunge to the DM pedal myself, less hiss and fizz, but still not very controllable, just bass and treble knobs...still don't use it really.

When I've used it I've had grunge setting all the way down and gain up far. NOT GOOD PEDALS.

if your going to get a distortion box for practice get the boss metal zone, if your planning on recording dont use a dist box borrow or buy an amp with good distortion.

DOD as a company is pretty much a joke.

 

[everybody's x]

here's a good use for it;

Put it in a sock and beat someone to death with it.

 

[Aaron Smith]

Well Rhone, does that answer your question?

Thanks for the tip... ever since i moved to a place with a door stops i haven't known what to do with mine.

so glad i didn't pay money for it.

Don't believe what everybody is posting here!!!!!!

Seriously, this pedal is much worse than ANYONE is letting on.



I actually gave one of these away too.
