The DOD Grunge FX69B is an analog distortion and fuzz pedal from DOD. DOD describes it as a hyper-charged high-gain preamp effect that simulates a guitar amplifier turned up to twelve, with distortion heavy enough that, in the maker's words, even its distortion is distorted. It sits in the distortion and fuzz territory of a pedalboard, aimed at players who want maximum gain from a single stompbox.1
What it does
The FX69B works as a high-gain preamp in a box: DOD's own product copy describes a sound "so nasty and so heavy, it'll have your bandmates screaming for mercy," simulating an amplifier pushed far past its limit.1
It keeps its control layout simple, with four knobs that shape the sound1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Loud | Overall output level |
| Low | Bass EQ |
| High | Treble EQ |
| Grunge | Gain/distortion character |
The four controls for Loud, Low, High and Grunge give separate level, EQ and gain shaping, so the amount of distortion can be set independently of the volume and tone.1
Power
The pedal runs on 9V DC, center negative, the standard pedalboard supply arrangement.1
