I don't know how long I've had a DOD FX-10 Bi-FET Preamp, It certainly sat around in cupboards and boxes for a couple decades. But today it is my favorite stomp box.
I have recently purchased a Boss MO-2 Multi-Overtone pedal. So, I've been exploring it. I liked it well enough to drop it on the pedal board the other day to see how well it responds to changes made by other pedals.
I was tapping through the chain... (Origin Effects Slide-Rig pre-amp compressor/limiter, FX-10, Boss EQ-7, Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive, and the MO-2) before turning everything off except the FX-10.
I usually run through a Marshall MG30CFX, an amp I only use in clean. The 'crunch' channel is too crunchy, and the other two channels are for metal-heads only. I do want a bit of break-up which is REALLY hard to get on this amp. If you crank the channel volume AND the gain you get just a hint that break-up is possible when you go don't use pedals.
But if I use the FX-10, I can overdrive the power stage a little and get nice creamy breakup, which can be adjusted for more or less overdrive using the volume pot on the emando.
I spent an hour playing only with that.
What's your favorite stomp box today?
