Official DOD Fan Club

One of the first pedals I got was the DOD bass stereo flanger from a pawn shop for $20. I was very sad when it died.
I'm a big fan of the modern DOD lineup, currently have Carcosa, Gunslinger and a Rubberneck with a 440 reissue in the mail. When the 440 gets here my board will be 50% DOD, will post a pic.
Been keeping my eye out for the bass flange. I hear nothing but good things, and it would be much smaller than my current flanger.
 
It came today!

Tested for functionality, and about ten minutes of play around time, but we got some stuff to catch up on around the house today, but I'm off work for the next three days and I suspect this fun little device will end up with velcro. As promised here is my 50% DOD board, sorry my basement has bad lighting, hard to get a good looking picture of gear in there.

I got a second DOD Grunge to mod or to have as a spare.
The 1N4001 diode has one lead that is no longer soldered to the board.
Not a problem, since I have some spare 1N4001s.
I think I'll mod both of my Grunge pedals to make them sound better.

Do your happen to know the difference between the Grunge and Bass Grunge? The Bass Grunge is pretty pricey, but the standard is ubiquitous. If it’s a simple difference, I’d be interested in modding one.

I don't. I'd also like to have a Bass Grunge.
Maybe we can find gut shots or a parts list for them. Then, we could compare them.
 
If we can figure out what/where the bass cut is in the Grunge pedal, we should be able to make it into a beast of a bass distortion pedal.
I seem to recall cutting out/removing the C26 capacitor makes the Grunge less noisy and better sounding.

I also have a Boss Metal Zone that I want to mod.

I love my DOD Boneshaker for bass. It seems to be better suited for baritone guitar and bass, than for regular guitar.
That's another dirt pedal you could get for bass distortion, and it has a parametric EQ.

Had one briefly, never seemed to bond with it. Thought about getting another, though. My dirt needs are sated, technically speaking, but that’s never stopped me before.

I highly recommend the Gunslinger on bass. It can get pretty similar to my Dunwich ODB’s settings, but for a fraction of the price.
