DATA

1)After you power up, the FX7 defaults to Program mode. Select a Bank by pressing the Bank selector footswitch. The display shows the selected bank number on the left side of the display and a dash on the right. The display might look something like this:

2-_

2)Press footswitch 1, 2, or 3. The dash in the display changes to show the number of the Program you selected. The display might look something like this:

23

NOTE: If a new Program number is not selected within 5 seconds after pressing the Bank select button, the display returns to its pre- vious setting.

As you become more familiar with the FX7, you may find that you need to modify certain Programs to better fit your needs. Fortunately, the FX7 is flexible enough to give you everything you need without being difficult to program.

The following procedure is an example of how to modify your Programs. Suppose that Program 33 (which has a 100 ms mono delay, a medium chorus, noise gate, EQ, distortion, and compression) sounds close to what you want, but you want a 300 ms delay with low feedback instead. Here's how to change it:

1)Use the Data wheel, or the Bank and Program selector footswitches to select Program 33.

2)Press the Delay effect group button. The Delay group Status LED begins flashing and the display reads:

11

3)Look at the front panel Delay groupings to locate the effect you want. In this case, you'll see that the 300 ms mono delays can be found between 41 and 49 in the Delay (not Multi-Delay)

Group.

4)Use the Data wheel to scroll until the the display reads:

41.

FX7 specifications

The DOD FX7 is a versatile and innovative guitar effects pedal that has made a significant impact in both live performances and studio recordings. Launched as part of the DOD series, the FX7 is known for its user-friendly interface and a wide array of tonal possibilities, making it a favorite among genre-spanning musicians.

One of the standout features of the FX7 is its extensive collection of effects. The pedal includes nine different effects settings, ranging from classic distortion and overdrive to lush chorus and vivid flanger. This enables guitarists to achieve a diverse palette of sounds suitable for various musical styles, from rock to blues to jazz.

The FX7 utilizes an advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology that ensures high-quality sound reproduction and low noise levels. This technology allows musicians to incorporate complex effects without deteriorating the original tone of the instrument. Additionally, the FX7’s analog circuitry complements its digital components, enriching the overall sound and providing warmth that many players seek.

Ease of use is another defining characteristic of the DOD FX7. The pedal features a straightforward layout with clearly labeled knobs for adjusting the level, tone, and effect parameters. This allows musicians to make quick adjustments during performances, ensuring they can switch between settings seamlessly without interrupting the flow of their music.

Moreover, the FX7 offers a robust build quality, designed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent use. The pedal's durable casing protects the internal components from physical damage, while the footswitch is engineered for responsive engagement, allowing for reliable performance under pressure.

Another notable technology embedded in the FX7 is its true bypass circuitry. This feature ensures that when the pedal is not engaged, the guitar signal remains unaltered, preserving the natural tone of the instrument without adding unwanted noise or coloration.

In summary, the DOD FX7 is a dynamic and feature-rich effects pedal that stands out in the competitive world of guitar effects. Its combination of diverse effects, advanced technology, ease of use, and rugged design makes it a crucial tool for both amateur and professional musicians seeking to expand their sonic horizons. Whether on stage or in the studio, the FX7 proves to be a reliable partner in creativity.
