FOUNDED IN 1974 by David Oreste DiFrancesco (who contributed the company initials) and John Johnson, Salt Lake City–based DOD became one of the major players in the burgeoning effects market of the 1970s and ’80s. The trio of pedals featured here are part of a group of reissues that are underway now that DOD and its high-tech offshoot DigiTech are back in business under the ownership of Korea-based Cor-Tek, which is the parent company of Cort Guitars.
The Overdrive Preamp 250, Envelope Filter 440 and Meatbox Subsynth all feature analog circuitry, mechanical foot switches with a true bypass, inputthere’s not much else to see, just the back of the PCB covered by a piece of foam rubber.
