DOD FX7 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor Review

History:

Purchase: $350 CAN in 1997. Wanted a good deal on multi-effects.

Pros: All the choices for effects. Ping and pong delays. Play along input. Stereo output. Nice EQ.



Cons: Wah seems weak. Can not combine WAH, phaser, chorus, flange effects together. Gate feature is a bit weak. No swell. Can not feedback (cos it's digital, not the unit's fault). Octave down is poor. Unit picks up hum from A/C lines but strangely good around dimmers.

FX7 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor Quality: Fair. 1st unit was returned after it failed on 2nd day of use. Foot pedal's switch can get sticky (not for bar use). Unit 2 has developed a hum in distortion circuitry and the compressor has since failed.

DOD Summary: Was a good deal and a great intro into effects. Unit was used with a hollow body, single coils strat, 6-string bass and Ovation. Just treat it little a computer quality part that will last 4yrs.

Rating of this product: 3
