Dod 512 Reverb Effects Processor Manual Woodworkers

admin 03.05.2020 No Commentson Dod 512 Reverb Effects Processor Manual Woodworkers

Starting with the technical information found in the manual: its frequency response is from 20Hz to 16kHz, the signal to noise ratio is 90dB, the sample rate is 44.1 kHz, DSP is 24 bit and A/D/A resolution is 16 bit. Now, in subjective and personal terms: it seems to work just fine with synths, mixing and voice, but somehow I found it to sound awful with my guitars. The reverbs (hall, room, plate, church, chamber, spring, studio, gated and reverse), which are the main attraction, are cold, but in a good way for certain kind of music. Of course, this ain't no Midiverb, but for a cheap 90's reverb processor you probably won't be getting much more looking elsewhere. I think that the 'spring' setting is very good for synths. 'Reverse' sucks, though, in my opinion. That reverb per se is OK, but it seems to have a huge issue with treble that can't be cut even by turning the Parameter 2 knob (which works as EQ, in the case of reverbs) all the way to the left. It's the first of two effects that suffer from sounding aggressive. The other effects (chorus, flanger, delay, phaser, tremolo/pan and pitch shifter) are mostly usable and decent. Again, this is a cheap 90's processor, so you can't expect it to be the holy grail of gear, but it's most definitely not the worst piece of effects processor that I ever heard and used. The chorus doesn't sound much warm, for instance, but in lower speeds and with the Parameter 2 knob (EQ) in the middle or to the left it can produce an interesting dark and atmospheric effect. The flanger also sounds good in some of the settings. The ones that aren't too good are tremolo and phase shifter, in my opinion: the tremolo is OK, but the control over its speed isn't very precise and therefore it ends up as nothing special, and the phase shifter has the same problem with higher frequencies as the reverse reverb, making it sound aggressive. Those two effects are examples of what was wrong with digital technology in the early to mid 90's, and I can't find myself recommending their use. At least the tremolo isn't good but isn't offensive either. Last but not least, it has a noise gate threshold pot on the back too, which you can adjust with a small screwdriver! Nice feature. All in all, a pretty honest processor that can be found for very cheap these days and doesn't sound as bad as some digital gear from the early to mid 90's. In fact, some of the effects are surprisingly good for the price! If you're in need of gear to make some 90's sounding music, or just plain collect and enjoy discovering some interesting equipments that may have slipped under your radar back in the day, as is my case, I do think that this is a good box to check out.

History[edit]

DOD originally stood for David Oreste Di Francesco, who founded the company in 1973 with business partner and musician John Johnson. David was the original engineer who, with his business partner John, later^[when?] sold the company to Harman International. The engineer now runs a company called Rolls Corporation.

Over DOD's 40-year history, the company introduced many pedal lines and early multi-effect devices, like the '944 Chain-Reaction' and digital delays like the now sought-after PDS series. The '70s and early '80s 200, 400 and 600 series of stompboxes have become very collectable. '70s gray 'DOD Overdrive Preamp/250's with LM741 op-amps fetch premium prices with collectors, with the yellow early '80s 250s not far behind. Later '90s DOD pedals have also become collectors items like the 'Gonkulator', 'Grind', 'Buzz Box', 'Meat Box', 'Vibro Thang', and 'Big Pig Fat' Distortion.

Many of the more popular DOD pedals are now^[when?] available under the DigiTech name. This includes the Envelope Filter.

In early 2010 Harman employee Tom Cram personally began a clandestine skunkworks project to revive DOD. This resulted in the prototypes for what would be the new DOD 250, 201, and an unidentified third red pedal. This skunkworks project was unknown to Harman and only became official after Mr. Cram showed his completed prototypes. Mr. Cram has subsequently become the marketing manager for DigiTech/DOD and continues to work on new DigiTech and DOD pedals.^{[citation needed]}

On September 16, 2013, DOD returned with updated versions of the venerable 'Overdrive Preamp/250', and 'Phasor/201'. Both feature true bypass, blue LEDs, modern power jack, lighter aluminum chassis, two tone flat-black and metal-flake paint jobs. The 2013 250 also features an LM741 op-amp to replicate the sounds of the original 250. In 2014 three more updated DOD pedals were released, the 'BIFET Boost 410', and the 'Envelope Filter 440', and the 'Electro-Optical Compressor 280'. The 410 features a new buffer on/off toggle and the 440 features an up/down voicing toggle, and the 280 circuit is untouched except for the addition of true bypass, LED, and modern PSU jack. All feature true bypass, blue LEDs, modern power jack, lighter aluminum chassis, two tone flat-black and metal-flake paint jobs.

In early 2015 a new DOD pedal called the 'Boneshaker'^[1] distortion unit was released; this is a collaboration with boutique pedal builder Mark Wentz of Black Arts Toneworks.^[2]
