DOD Vintage Reissues - Pedal Order?

Re: DOD Vintage Reissues - Pedal Order?

I'll have to check mine. I thought at least the top half of the case was aluminum or zinc alloy metal and maybe the bottom lid was plastic.

Yep, you are right. It is so light I thought the whole thing was plastic. I forgot how transparent this pedal is, it is bringing back memories. I originally used one in the '80's when I was broke as heck and someone gave me a 250 after my MXR D+ bit the dust. The LEVEL really allows you to dial in your mids and get a really focused overdrive. I am playing around with it on my Excelsior which is a very loose sounding amp. The 250 really tightens up the tone and focuses it nicely.

Man, my 250, 201 and 440 got a major workout back in the '90's when I was doing a retro '60's/'70's band thing, those pedals worked a charm! Sorely tempted to pick up these reissues and give them a try for the hell of it. Glad to hear it's not actually all plastic though. I can deal with the lighter aluminum.

Trying this configuration at the moment but going to experiment with some of the order.

Personally, I'd be inclined to try it this way:

envelope filter -> phaser -> Compressor -> Boost -> OD -> clean amp



It's nice to have to have an envelope filter first in pedal order. That way it picks up all the nuances of your touch through the guitar and you have a lot more control over the pedal through your fingers and volume knob.

Envelope filters and phaser both sound great with a touch of compression after them to even out peakiness. Phaser into into OD is a much nicer / more natural phaser sound than OD -> Phaser to me.

With the gain stuff, compressor -> OD gives you a nice smooth sound, OD -> boost or comp -> OD -> boost can usually be coaxed to get heavier sounds and more singing lead type stuff. But you lose the ability to use the boost as a volume increase.

Just my 2 cents.

Of course a couple of weeks past the warranty the pedal starts to make some weird noises. I thought it was the battery dying but no it is the pedal. It is making some kind of chirp/clicking sound.

I would go;
filter
phaser
comp
boost
od


edit; moved filter to 1st, but does a filter sound good before phasing? ,,,,or would you ever run them both on at the same time?
Ok I now see it's an old thread. Nice to get a quality-status update though.

I've never run an envelop filter with a phaser at the same time so it's kinda moot. They both do similar things, and sound weird together.

Thanks. Yeah that's what I was thinking might be the case. I've never had a filter or even a basic wah pedal.

If you're good with pinch harmonics, you can almost make that setup sound like a Theremin.

I get the art-historic factor of the 5 pedals in that version, and appreciate the academic question of order.

Besides that, why would anyone actually run these 5 pedals? I can't imagine a board where I'd do that, let alone a song...or is this really just for experimental a / artistic purposes - which is fine...

I use all those sounds.

Probably add a delay and a tremolo, but it would work for me.
