DOD FX53 Classic Tube & FX55 Supra Distortion

[DGWVI]

The Classic 52 needs some friends (and, I'd love to build a 3-in-1). The schematics are pretty much identical, save for some value changes





Edit: this also shared the same PCB, again with different values, FX50B

jesus ... why? that thing was hot garbage then and now

One mans garbage is another mans garbage.... some men like garbage.

It's been (many) years, but I had an FX-50B that I remember being pretty enjoyable.

I don’t really understand the lack of love for these. My FX55B is so nasty and raunchy and ugly...and so perfect.
Definitely not for the Eric Clapton Lethal Weapon Soundtrack set tho, so to each their own.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m going to build one as a backup, mostly because of the DOD footswitch, which is the only thing I don’t love about that pedal.
