I have a chance to pickup my son a couple DOD pedals tonght. (1980's era) Problem is that I'm wondering how to test if they power up. I just pcked up a 9v battery but just read the owners manual on-line. It states to connect the input of the pedal to the guitar and the output to the amp this will connect the circuit...press the pedal and it will light up. Will the led lights not power-up unless I complete the circuit (input/output) or will they light up just by putting in the battery and pressing the pedal? Just want to make sure they power up and have no access to a gutair/amp. Thanks |

Yes. Plug cable into input jack and press switch if it lights its kosher.
But, the momentary switches on dods suck. So if you have to press really hard or more than once the switch is fuxxed. Ps: the basics would be a distortion, a flanger/phaser/chorus and a delay. A compressor would be great for clean tones but not nessary. |
