1980s DOD FX20 & FX60 Effects Pedals

Vintage American-made stomp boxes, still held in high regard to this day


The pedal parade continues, after researching countless online forums for information on what to look for and what to stay away from, around 15 pedals were recently acquired to put together a couple of boards for rhythm and lead guitar rigs and of course, most of the pedals will be featured here.

These DOD pedals always had good reviews and the prices were consistently lower than more-popular brands like Boss and Ibanez. In fact, the FX60 was chosen over a reissue Ibanez CS-9, considered a top rival to the Boss CE-2, arguably the most-famous chorus pedal of all-time. 

The Phasor actually hasn't been able to be used yet, as one of the eyes on the battery pad is busted and I don't have the correct adapter yet, so I'll either have to fix it or get a power supply. I paired the FX60 with an overdrive pedal and was dialing in on some classic Def Leppard sounds, stuff like Photograph and Armageddon It. That's usually the first thing that I do when I get these babies in the mail, just plug them in to make sure they work and try to replicate the sounds of bands or songs that I love.

Thanks for looking, more high-resolution photos here.
