NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

[Little Pigbacon]

It's really not bad. It's quite usable for metal, and backing the distortion all the way off makes a nice tone for fingerstyle. And the paint job is just beautiful.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

I had it waaay back and sold it because of the paintjob. (reverse poser)
Was part of a used-gear swap,,,,,so no I didn't buy it in the first place. lol
Honestly it was good at what it did but then the metalzone came out which did it better IMO.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

Yesterday I ordered a battery door. Today I replaced the two existing bottom cover screws with four new matching machine screws, and I replaced the damaged battery leads. It won't sound better, but it will be more complete.

I'd forgotten how dim the LED's are on these. Most of my pedals now look like they're shining a laser pointer at you.

American Metal, Thrash Master, and Metal Manic all have their uses....


I am a fan of the American Metal myself. Your box seems in nice shape. Rear battery door or no?

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

No battery door. Ordered one on e-Bucket. I'll probably get something from a Korg multi-effects.

American Metal is a great pedal. I used to have one, but it died. A friend's AM was the first pedal I ever played through; it made an impression on me that persists to this day. One day I will have another.

This was a strange time for DOD/Digitech. Some of their stuff was wretched, but there were a few good things in there.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

That type of DOD can have switch issues, hope yours is working properly. Another thing is the odd 1/8 style adapter plug. Did you get the appropriate adapter? CAN you even locate one? Haven't seen one in years. Everyone just used batteries...

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

I think the One Spot adapters (and other ones like it) can be bought with an adapter pack that includes the 1/8" adapter. I have no idea why DOD originally went with that type, except to sell adapters.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

I have a couple of One Spot adapters, and I can make power cables if I need to.

The e-Bola provides. It's not period correct, but it's good enough for me.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

I thought the one I had was pretty wretched, especially for the types of tones that I generally use.

Re: NPD -- DOD Thrash Master!

That's a blast from the past! I bought one of these new in the summer of 1994, along with an FX-58 Metal Maniac. They definitely served their purpose and responded very well when coupled to an FX-40 Eq pedal to dial it in more.

Doesn't look like it. According to LPB's link, the FX59 wasn't released until 1990, and it's predecessor wasn't available until 1986. Outside of time travel, that pretty much rules out Kill 'Em All. I suppose Peace Sells... is possible, but I was always under the impression that Dave's sound on that record is a JCM800 2203 (possibly boosted) while Chris used a Rockman into a JCM 800.
