Official DOD Fan Club

I've got a Boneshaker and there's a 280 Compressor on the way. The EQ on the Boneshaker is fun to mess around with and come up with "different" flavors of dirt. I've been watching for the blow-out sales.

I see the 410 for $39.99 right now, does it ever go lower? $40 seems like a good deal. I’d also like to get the 280 compressor too. These pedals are no brainers at these prices. I have a feeling new pedals will be released very soon....
 
I just received an early version 1 FX10. Is the led supposed to be on all the time? It never shuts off as soon as you connect a cable to the input. When pressing the pedal to turn the pedal off the led flashes off once then returns to lit up.Pedal works fine otherwise.
I don't know about old DODs, but the first generation of pedals to even have indicator lights seemed to have them to just show whether power was being received (you used your ears to figure out if it was turned on!), so it might be just fine.
 
Can anybody confirm that the FX70 Metal X is the same as the GFX70 Extreme Distortion? I know the FX70 has a long and weird history, with a few versions under different names supposedly (Corrosion, Big Fat Pig, Metal X), but have heard less definitive info about if the GFX is the same pedal, but made in China. I love my Metal X on guitar, and was hoping to pick up the circuit again, but the name itself doesn’t really mean much. Thanks.
 
Bought a Boneshaker on sale. Tons of flavors in that package. Sounds good, but I honestly didn't play with it long enough to find a setting that sat well in a band context. Gave it to our guitarist who's been using it to good effect to carve out a different type of distortion for certain passages. He's also got one of the old Stereo Choruses (fx65) - that thing is just amazing!

More recently I picked up a Milk Box. Never used a compressor pedal before. Wanted something that wasn't too fiddly that'd even out my sound a bit. Sounds nice on it's own, a little fuller without taking much away. After my OCD clone, though, it sounds massive! I love the OCD* (joyo ultimate drive) on its own - full range, nasty, articulate and fast - but with the Milk Box running after it, it gets a little smoother, more refined, and seems to snarl. Sounds way better IMO. A highly recommended pairing.

Sucks about Harman's apparent lack of foresight, but I look forward to Von Kramm FX! Bet they could crowdfund a few designs through TB alone...
