A Word About Mono Operation

The FX7 can operate in either stereo or mono. It is important to remember that the way you connect your cables to the outputs can affect the output mode. Here's a simple way to remember how it works:

•If only one output cable is connected, the FX7 switches to mono mode. Otherwise, it operates in stereo.

Using A Controller With The FX7

The FX7 is able to respond to most volume pedal outputs or 0/+5v controller pedals to control the wah and volume effects in real time. To set up the FX7 for this application:

1)Disconnect the power to the FX7.

2)Connect the output or the 0/+5v control output of a volume- type controller pedal (such as the DOD FX17) to the Volume / Wah controller input on the rear panel of the FX7.

3)Sweep the pedal through its entire range a few times to cali- brate the pedal.

If the Wah is active in any Program, the controller becomes a wah pedal. Otherwise, it acts as a volume control.

REMEMBER: If you want to use a controller pedal with the FX7, make sure the pedal is connected to the FX7 before you apply power. It is also important to note that the controller's pedal posi- tion affects all Programs, even after you change Programs. If a Program doesn't sound the way you saved it, check the position of the controller pedal.

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.

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.
