Handbækur og notendahandbækur frá DOD rafeindatækni

Rafmagnsfyrirtækið DVO is a historic American audio electronics company, historically based in Utah and renowned for its extensive line of guitar effects pedals and signal processors. Established in the 1970s, DOD played a pivotal role in defining the sound of rock and alternative music throughout the 80s and 90s with its rugged, die-cast metal stompboxes. The brand produced iconic units such as the FX69B Grunge Distortion, the FX84 Milk Box Compressor, and the FX25 Envelope Filter.

Over the years, DOD became a subsidiary of Harman International and operated closely with the DigiTech brand. While many of its classic analog circuits are now legacy products sought after by collectors, the brand remains a staple on pedalboards worldwide for its distinctive tones and robust construction. Users are advised to check specific power supply requirements, as vintage DOD pedals often required specific 3.5mm tip-positive adapters or standard 9V barrel connectors depending on the era.

• What power supply do DOD pedals use?

  Older DOD pedals often require a specific 3.5mm phone-style plug (tip positive) or the DOD PS200R/PS50 power supply. Newer or reissued models typically use the industry-standard 9V DC barrel connector (center negative). Always check your specific manual.

• How do I change the battery in my DOD FX series pedal?

  Most DOD FX series pedals feature an easy-access battery compartment cover on the top or bottom of the unit that can be removed without tools to snap in a fresh 9-volt battery.

• Why does my battery drain even when the pedal is off?

  For many stompboxes, the battery is engaged whenever a cable is plugged into the INPUT jack. To preserve battery life, always unplug the input cable when the pedal is not in use.

• What does the LED indicator tell me?

  The LED indicates whether the effect is active (in the signal path) or bypassed. If the LED fails to light up or dims significantly, it is a sign that the battery needs to be replaced.
