DOD FX33 BuzzBox

Posted on 17/10/201317/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX33 BuzzBox, made in USA around 1995. Now here’s something you won’t see everyday. When something is worth overdoing, let the DOD engineers show you the real way of the beast. Design is just sick. The America’s Pedal article on the history of the design is a very good read. There…

DOD FX52 Classic Fuzz

Posted on 24/07/20134/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX52 Classic Fuzz, Made in USA in early to mid 90s. Yup. It seems almost like yesterday when boxes of this series were in every young guitarists hands.
