The DOD "Perfomer Series" Distortion 555-A. This is pretty much a stinker of a pedal. There's nothing about it that we can point to as redeeming. Well, that's not true. The font on the pedal where it says "Distortion 555-A" is handsome. DOD made another version of this pedal in a grey colored-enclosure called the "555" without the "-A" designation. We believe that the 555-A came after the 555.

Controls

  • Knob 1 - "Gain": Sets the level of distortion of the pedal.
  • Knob 2 - "Tone": Sets the brightness of the pedal. Fully counterclockwise is dark. Fully clockwise is bright.
  • Knob 3 - "Output": Sets the volume or output level of the pedal.
  • Footswitch 1 - "On/Off": This plate turns the effect on and off in the signal chain.

General Information

We obtained this pedal simply for the perversely fond memories of the first one that we had access to. This pedal would be the impetus to the Bad Device Chain Challenge.
