The undeservedly forgotten Classic Tube Оverdrive DOD FX-53 guitar pedal DIY

My first impression was that I had finally assembled the best overdrive in my entire life. For the first time, a cheap Squier Bullet Mustang electric guitar with stock humbuckers sounded equally good with all the cabinets I usually simulate and switch between when testing a new pedal.

Like my all-time favorite guitar, the semi-hollow-body Harley Benton TE-90QM with P90 pickups, this Squier Mustang can be called "moody." The beauty of its sound does not reveal itself with any overdrive or cabinet you pick at will. One must properly look for good-sounding gain and tone knobs positions.

The 2011 Gibson Melody Maker Explorer behaves completely differently than most other Gibson guitars. A deep and clear sound with no unpleasant overtones and no excessive protrusion of certain frequencies is obtained with almost any equipment of "good enough" quality in a much more comprehensive range of tone and gain settings.

Does wood affect the guitar tone?

It is common knowledge that the design of an electric guitar affects its sustain. The semi-hollow body transfers part of the strings' vibration energy to the air; the sustain is shortened, but the sound production nuances are emphasized, which is important for the blues.

Additionally, harmonics that make multi-layered chords with complex alterations sound ugly are also suppressed; this matters for various jazz styles.

A solid-body guitar retains the strings' vibrational energy, resulting in longer sustain. Even longer for a guitar with a glued set-in and, moreover, a set-through neck. But both the glued neck and, especially, the through neck soften the attack a little.

That is why many bluesmen prefer a Stratocaster over a Les Paul. Rhythm guitarists tend to like bolt-on neck guitars, while lead guitarists pick set-in and set-through necks. Of course, this rule of thumb depends on the person; each musician does their own thing. It could be playing DJENT on a Telecaster with a single pickup, like Rick Beato.

We are accustomed to the fact that a string is a stretched wire. But in a striking clock, the string is a metal rod, fixed on one side and not tensioned. The bass string in the clock is called "gong"; it can be very long and twisted like a spiral to fit into the case.

The guitar's soundboard and neck combined are also very massive strings compared to the actual strings. And it's made of wood for the most part, so it is much less hard and dense than regular metal strings.

So, the Q-factor of the soundboard and neck oscillating system is much lower than that of strings. Meaning that the natural frequency vibrations of the guitar's neck and body decay much faster than the vibrations of the strings.

Therefore, wood has minimal effect on the actual sound timbre of an electric guitar. The signal passes through pickups, cables, pedals, an amplifier, a cabinet, and then a microphone with an equalizer; it's safe to say that wood does not affect the frequencies.

The sustain time of the body and neck's vibrations is much shorter than any noted time, but it is comparable to the attack time when one hits the string with a pick.

Very dense, hard, and heavy types of wood, such as rosewood, pao ferro, and ebony (listed in order of increasing density), respond to attack with a short, sharp snap. Thus, the wood of the fretboard emphasizes the attack.

Indian laurel wood, used for the fingerboard of the Squier Bullet Mustang, resembles rosewood in appearance but is softer. It can be compared to the roasted maple wood of the Gibson MM Explorer`s fretboard.

Mahogany's soft, relatively light, and moderately porous wood creates a longer, more profound, and softened response that hides shortcomings in sound production. The Gibson MM Explorer has a mahogany neck.

But if the guitar's neck and body are made of mahogany, the sound may be too dull, washed out, and mumbly. To add some brightness, maple wood is used. The Gibson Les Paul Standard has a top made of it, the LP Tribute has a neck, and the 2011 MM Explorer has a lightweight Canadian maple for its entire body.

The desired sound attack is achieved through such combinations of materials. It's not a tone but just the attack. But the attack carries the absolute maximum of musical information and allows one to distinguish one musical instrument from another.

The body of the Gibson MM Explorer is thin but long and made of Canadian maple. The Squier Bullet Mustang's body is also thin but made of basswood (other variants may have poplar).

Poplar, especially basswood, responds to attack more dully than Stratocaster's alder or Telecaster's ash but still louder, shorter, and less deep than mahogany. As a result, the raw sound of the Squier Mustang is less dramatic than that of the MM Explorer and does not hide the flaws in sound production nearly as well.

So, the wood used in making an electric guitar, as well as the material, gauge, and tension of the strings, frets, nut, bridge, and pick, not to mention the pickups, do matter and influence the audio signal produced. This sound character can make it more complicated or simplify getting the desired guitar tone using pedals, an amplifier, and a cabinet.

History of DOD pedals

DOD was founded in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1973 and named after one of its two founders, David Oreste DiFrancesco. In the early 1990s, the company was purchased by Harman International Industries.

Today, David runs his own company, Rolls Corporation, and produces audio equipment under the Rolls and Bellari brands. And DOD/DigiTech is now a subsidiary of Cor-Tek Corp., Seoul, South Korea. Yes, they make Cort guitars and also make musical instruments for Harley-Benton, Squier, and many others.

And in this photo, the second founder of DOD, John Johnson, holds the most iconic and one of the first pedals of the company — the Overdrive Preamp 250.

Very reminiscent of MXR Distortion+, right?

Could it get any simpler? The signal is amplified by one op-amp, followed by a symmetrical hard clipping stage using a pair of germanium diodes.

R1 and R2 split the supply voltage in half, forming a virtual ground. Tantalum capacitor C1 grounds it for alternating current.

Through R3, the non-inverting input of the op-amp receives a reference to the virtual ground at a constant voltage and receives the alternating voltage of the input signal through C3 and R4.

C2 acts as a treble bleed on the input, and C6 does the same on the output to prevent fizziness and whine. There is no tone control, only a VR2 output volume control.

And, of course, the VR1 gains control. It is located, and I must draw your attention to it, not in place of R6, the upper branch of the negative feedback divider, where it is found in the circuits of most overdrive and distortion pedals.

The MXR Distortion+ gain pot is located in the lower branch of the op-amp gain section feedback divider. This side is frequency-dependent since it contains capacitor C4 in series with resistors VR1 and R5.

This is the very place where the magnificent Voicing control is located on the rare "Dumble sounding" Hermida Zendrive and the iconic Precision Drive by Horizon Devices!

Here, the gain potentiometer also regulates the tone, or more precisely, the frequency structure of the overdrive. And therefore, it provides the guitarist with unique opportunities to tweak the tone.

Here, we have an improved pedal from DOD. They've abandoned the input treble bleed because it is in the tone block of almost any electric guitar. This is the guitar's tone knob, a potentiometer in series with a capacitor that shunts the pickup to the ground.

DOD used silicon diodes instead of germanium, and more importantly, they implemented asymmetrical clipping, using three diodes instead of two. As we've learned in the article about a homemade tube amplifier, asymmetrical clipping is more pleasant to the ear than symmetrical clipping because it adds those sweet, even harmonics to the signal, as opposed to unpleasant, odd ones.

Another addition is the capacitor C3, which has a minimal capacitance of 25 picofarads. It is needed to prevent self-excitation of the operational amplifier and eliminate possible unpleasant high-frequency components.

And finally, Classic Tube Overdrive FX-53

DOD wasted no time, and in the second half of the 1980s, it developed, among others, this pedal with a "classic tube" sound.

At the bottom of the circuit, we see a buffered bypass with a flip-flop footswitch section that controls two JFET transistors, Q1 and Q2. Op-amp buffers U1A and U2A are added accordingly.

At the top left, we see a 100-ohm resistor between the battery positive and the circuit power positive terminals. As we remember from the post about the BOSS DS-1, this resistor not only protects the circuit, battery, and power supply from reversing polarity but also emulates the voltage sag of vintage molten-salt batteries, improving the sound of guitar overloads and preamps on transistors and operational amplifiers. So, an alkaline battery will sound like a salt battery but will last longer because it has a higher capacity.

The overdrive section now has symmetrical soft clipping on two silicon diodes in the negative feedback circuit.

Hard clipping DOD was not abandoned; that’s why the pedal is called Classic Tube Overdrive-Distortion. Moreover, the asymmetrical hard clipping of the Overdrive Preamp 250 was replaced with a symmetrical one.

This was all for nothing; the tech-savvy crowd modified the pedal by removing hard-clipping diodes, and they got a nice overdrive. This DOD FX-53's hard symmetrical clipping distortion ain't pretty and can't be turned off without modifying the pedal.

It is the reason why the Classic Tube FX-53 is a forgotten pedal. It was not reissued, unlike the iconic 201 Phasor, 280 Compressor, 440 Envelope Filter, 410 Bifet Boost, and, of course, 250 Overdrive Preamp and some others.

They've not even preserved the asymmetrical clipping from DOD 250 but simply removed two diodes from the circuit, leaving only soft clipping. This is exactly what Landtone did when developing the OD-2 DIY kit.

This is nothing more than a DOD FX-53 with true bypass and no hard-clipping diodes. It turned out to be an overdrive, and what an impressive one! This is by far the best overdrive pedal I own.

At the very end, we've come to another feature of the “classic tube” overdrive circuit. There is not one, but two magic branches with a potentiometer and a capacitor between the inverting input of the op-amp and the ground!

These are the gain control and the tone control. On the tone control, the potentiometer does not just treble bleed but also regulates the balance between two RC circuits with different cutoff frequencies.

One piece of magic added to a second extended magic loop creates such a beautiful guitar tone control panel where every combination of knob positions sounds excellent! This is one of the best guitar overdrive designs that was ruined almost 40 years ago by two unnecessary diodes.

youtube

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the DIY kit has a golden case in the photo, and the pedal in the video is assembled in a navy blue case from a DOD 280 Compressor clone. The fact is that I specifically ordered a kit with no holes for a future project and assembled the overdrive in a case from a compressor, which went into another project. Landtone produces many different DIY kits, PCBs, and enclosures for guitar electronics enthusiasts, and their products are available worldwide.

Some people may condemn hustlers from China for cloning classical circuits. Still, the history of guitar electronics is full of precedents of developers copying components and entire circuits from each other from the very beginning of this fantastic and fascinating art of guitar sound processing.

Sadly, sometimes, they abandon a fantastic project because they've made a small mistake and cannot see its bright potential. But then another enthusiast took the old scheme to a whole new level.

MEET DEKU!

Nome do personagem: Matsutoya Hideki.

Nome artístico: Deku.

Solista: Muse E.

User do twitter: @hideseeksnr

Data de nascimento: 19 de abril de 1994.

Gênero: homem cis.

Moradia: interna.

Nacionalidade e etnia: japonês, naturalizado estadunidense.

Faceclaim: Yuta Nakamoto.

Habilidades e trabalhos:

Além de cantar, também toca guitarra desde os 14 anos e participa ativamente da composição e produção das próprias músicas há 4 anos.

Personalidade:

Quando começou a se aprofundar no mundo da música, ainda com seus 15 anos, Deku era muito inconsequente, agindo sem pensar nas consequências. Isso durou até seus 23 anos, quando as consequências de sua juventude rebelde começaram a afetar negativamente sua saúde. Agora, Hideki tenta separar sua vida artística da privada tanto por vergonha de ter sido um adolescente extremamente idiota quanto ter se envolvido com as pessoas erradas.

Triggers na biografia: grooming (menção), abuso de drogas (menção), quase overdose.

Biografia:

O primeiro contato de Hideki com o mundo do Rock foi aos cinco anos, quando seu tio materno voltou ao Japão para visitar a família e levou alguns discos que comprou nos Estados Unidos. Ele ficou completamente apaixonado pelas músicas do Billy Idol e Def Leppard e, para o terror de seus pais conservadores, começou a se inspirar nos astros. Seu tio sempre lhe mandava presentes, e em seu aniversário de 14 anos ganhou sua primeira guitarra elétrica, uma Squier Bullet Stratocaster vermelha. A família Matsutoya não teve um dia de paz até Hideki atingir os 16 anos, quando foi morar de vez com o tio em Los Angeles.

Assim que chegou, Hideki começou a se misturar com a turma errada, mas que compartilhavam do mesmo interesse pelo Rock. Começaram uma banda na garagem de um dos outros garotos, já que Hideki morava com o tio praticamente de frente para o Hotel Cecil. Quando não estavam ensaiando, passavam o tempo pichando muros e trabalhavam juntos de meio período em uma oficina mecânica. Pouco antes de completar um ano morando em Los Angeles, o grupo teve uma briga feia após um dos seus primeiros shows por conta da ex-namorada do baterista ter acabado nos braços de Hideki. Isso não o abalou, apenas fez com que ele caísse nas garras de uma mulher com idade para ser sua mãe que lhe seduziu e prometeu as estrelas.

Não foi difícil para Hideki aceitar a proposta, sonhando com uma carreira maior, e logo começou a pular de banda em banda com sua nova manager, Lori Gates. As bandas não duravam muito graças ao egoísmo crescente de Deku e seu abuso de drogas, tudo financiado por Lori, até que recebeu a oferta da Sunset Records de ingressar em uma carreira solo. Não demorou muito para que sua energia um pouco caótica, os cabelos sempre coloridos e a falta de uma camisa durante os shows e MVs lhe rendesse fãs obcecadas e a fama de garoto problema.

Aos 23 anos foi parar mais uma vez no hospital, porém Hideki ficou tão perto da morte que seus pais foram para Los Angeles por medo de nunca poderem se despedir direito do filho, e isso fez com que ele finalmente abrisse os olhos para a vida destrutiva que levava. Prometeu para si mesmo e sua família que não se envolveria mais com drogas e se reconectou com seu amor pela música. Hoje é formado em Letras pela Universidade da Califórnia e compõe também para outros artistas. Com os 30 anos tão próximos, Hideki se arrepende de ainda não ter encontrado um amor, sentindo-se sozinho e carente, planejando ter filhos um dia.

Best Electric Guitars 2022: 8 top picks for every playing style, ability and budget

Finding the best electric guitars is difficult, but it is also quite thrilling. The phrase 'best' implies different things to different people, and it is the subjective aspect of this that makes the process – as well as the task of putting together this guide – so difficult. For some players, the best electric guitar is something simple and functional, while for others, it's a guitar decked out in a gorgeous paintjob and outfitted with every conceivable technology. In this round-up, we'll show you what we believe to be the best electric guitars available right now. This product selection includes a wide price range, as well as many various musical styles and performing levels, to ensure that you get the ideal electric guitar for you. You'll discover selections from most of the best electric guitars makers here, so you can be sure they also come with a great brand reputation and a confirmed seal of excellence. We've put the guitars in price order to make selecting the right one for your budget a bit easier, and we've also prepared some useful suggestions for this guide. Simply click this 'purchasing advice' button to go straight there, or scroll down to see our top picks.

BEST ELECTRIC GUITARS: OASIS GUITAR'S SELECTION

Choosing the best electric guitars from our guide is like to deciding which of your children is your favourite. It's quite difficult because all of the possibilities are, in our opinion, the greatest – yet there are usually one or two favourites that we can't help but prefer. For those on a tight budget, we propose the Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s. Nothing else in that price range compares in terms of value for money and variety. Most Classic Vibe instruments have build quality that is only a hair behind that of Fender guitars made in Mexico, so if you don't mind having the Squier name on your headstock, this is the guitar for you. For those with a little more money to invest, we recommend the Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM or the Fender American Performer Strat. The Charvel is ideal for anyone who wants to push that little bit further and faster, and with a Strat-esque pickup setup and a stacked bridge humbucker, the sonic pallet is broad. When considering the instrument's pedigree, the Performer Strat is a US-made Fender Stratocaster for a reasonable price. It'll do everything you need a Strat to do, and it'll do it well. The HSS arrangement also provides some more adaptability in case you need to do some extra-curricular metal or hard rock shows. For those with a large budget, we propose the Gibson ES-335 Satin. Not only is it lovely, but it's also extremely adaptable - and will take care of you musically for decades to come if properly cared for. It's got enough rage beneath the hood to cover Chris Cornell's grungey riffing, enough agility to cover Alex Lifeson's stadium prog opuses, and enough soul and heart to cover B.B King's elegant blues - and if that artist list isn't enough, you're nuts.

BEST ELECTRIC GUITARS: PRODUCT GUIDE

Squier Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster- Best electric guitars

Source: Google The entry-level guitar market is in considerably better shape than it was even ten years ago. Manufacturers and companies now utilise significantly higher levels of quality control than they did previously. This implies that even 'cheap' guitars can deliver tones, craftsmanship, and playability usually reserved for mid and upper end models. The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster is a prime example of this. Previously, an entry-level guitar would last a few of years, have string action like playing razor wire, and tones like a swarm of bees in a tin can. Not any longer. This Classic Vibe looks, feels, and sounds amazing, and it even competes with some of the less expensive Fender models. Style and playability at an affordable price. Progress is a beautiful thing. Squier Bullet Mustang- Best electric guitars

Source: Google There are several factors to consider when selecting best electric guitars for a child. The guitar itself must be somewhat light in order for tiny shoulders to cope. It must be simple enough to play for little hands, with an adequately sized neck. And it has to look cool. Because, let's face it, at that age, the appearance of the guitar arguably exceeds its capacity to span multiple tonal ranges. There are a few devoted small versions of conventional guitars, but we chose one that is full sized, fully equipped, and reasonably priced. The Squier Bullet Mustang has a slightly shorter scale length, which, combined with the basswood body, makes it comfortable to play. However, its two humbuckers ensure that it can compete with most adult-oriented guitars. And it's one of the most badass Squier guitars we've played in a long time. Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet- Best electric guitars

Source: Google Gretsch's Double Jet is one of the best all-purpose rock 'n' roll best electric guitars on the market. We guarantee you'd have a good time playing blues, rock, indie, rock 'n' roll, jazz, or country on it. This Electromatic edition is ridiculously cheap and comes in a range of pretty nice finishes. Choose Natural for a Malcolm Young vibe, Walnut Stain for a more refined look, or either of the metallic primer-style treatments for a badass look. The Double Jet's two Black Top Broad'Trons are fast to show their teeth, and there's a treble bleed circuit to get as much tone out of them as possible. The narrow U-profile neck is very quick, with a comfortable 24.6" scale and 12" fretboard radius for a truly contemporary feel, and the chambered wood makes it easy on the back. So cool. PRS SE Custom 24- Best electric guitars

Source: Google To many, the Custom 24 represents the apex of PRS design, and the thing about outstanding guitar design is that it transfers well across price points. Anyone would agree that the SE Custom 24 is gorgeous. The Wide Thin neck shape provides a nice compromise between comfort and speed. The flame maple veneer creates a nice balance between luxury and ostentation. Everything about this guitar's design appears to be in perfect balance. The eye-catching Burled Ash and high-priced 35th Anniversary versions are also available in the SE Custom 24 range. Whatever you choose, you'll get a super-stable vibrato, a bridge pickup that can handle everything from southern rock snarl to metal chunk, and neck humbucker tones that are organically suited to blues, rock, and showing off your comping talents. The coil-taps open up a world of options — country, funk, you name it. The Custom 24 does it all. Epiphone Les Paul Standard- Best electric guitars

Source: Google When we talk about value, one of the best electric guitars comes to mind right away. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard has been the go-to guitar for thousands of players for good reason over the years. Simply put, this instrument checks all the criteria. It's very well-made, it sounds excellent, and, most importantly, it won't break the bank. For many players, this guitar strikes the perfect balance of quality, price, and performance. It's why so many people graduate to it as their first'serious' axe, and why so many are on the weekend warrior circuit. If a genuine Gibson is out of your financial reach, you can't go wrong with one of these. PRS SE Hollowbody Standard- Best electric guitars

Source: Google The SE Hollowbody Standard seems like a real semi-acoustic, with a larger body than its US-built cousin, and something about these dimensions elicits a Pavlovian ii-V-I response when you take it up. Not that this is just a jazz box. Far from it. The PRS 58/15 humbuckers are well-suited to jazz when the treble is rolled back, but with a cranked tube amp, you'll get an ES-vibe and a tone that is applicable to a wide range of styles. The SE Hollowbody Standard is built in China by Cor-Tek, and it's a true testament to the SE series that it manages to offer that sense of PRS elegance for the price. Without a doubt, this is a serious instrument, with a Wide Fat neck profile that corresponds to the moniker on the headstock, and it wears its simple plain top beautifully. Modified Fender Vintera'60s Telecaster- Best electric guitars

Source: Google Vibe is a somewhat ambiguous term. Essentially, it's a guitar that evokes a certain atmosphere or amount of cool. While any number of axes might be used, we chose the fantastic Fender Vintera '60s Telecaster Modified because, frankly, we adore it. The Vintera blends a simple Tele layout with some clever under-the-hood changes and plenty of the aforementioned attitude. Underneath the conventional alder body, you'll find some very intriguing pickup options. A distinctive four-way switch connects two single coil pickups in series, while the S-1 switch on the volume knob inverts the phase, giving you a plethora of useful tones to choose from. Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550- Best electric guitars

Source: Google There are sub-genres of guitar styles. Guitars designed for heavier types of music are arguably the most popular. This presents itself in body aesthetics, ergonomics, and hardware, with select companies – such as ESP and Schecter – dominating this sector. But it's undoubtedly the largest name in metal guitars that we've chosen here, and in one of their most iconic versions. Step forward the Ibanez RG550. The RG550, which was reissued last year and is based on an absolute icon of the genre, is developed exclusively for metal. The wafer-thin neck, locking trem, locking nut, and high-output humbuckers give this instrument everything it needs to shred. Read the full article

“I do a lot of math.”

FULL NAME: Baljeet Tjinder BASED ON: Baljeet (Phineas and Ferb) FACE CLAIM: Rish Shah PRONOUNS: He/They BIRTHDAY: Sept 3, 2003 CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information

The Gale-Shapley Algorithm asserts that two equally sized sets of elements can always find stable pairs. Baljeet always found that kind of strange even if intuitive, and found that the necessity that there must be a set that has a preference for any possible ties to be slightly depressing. But his parents surely, did not mind. Long before Baljeet was born, his Baba wanted to move out to the United Kingdom, full of opportunities, and an Indian wife to accompany him. His Amma wanted out, to wherever her feet would let her go, and her family’s blessing. Their parents (the third set, which this specific algorithm cannot account for) hears the accomplishments of the other and accepts. Most people would say that their union was out of necessity and not love, but he knows better. He hears the story of their first year in UK where they struggled with learning English, staying inside with only each other as company as they practiced a whole new language while trying to find their footing. Exploring a whole new life together, starting a new store together, raising three kids together, while only truly having one person that they could have on their side. It’s not the kind of love where they post anniversary pictures on Facebook or give surprise gifts to each other, but it’s still their own. No way an algorithm could navigate the emotional depths of not truly knowing if you loved someone yet but still trusting them anyway. Regardless, it’s great for employee - employer matching.

The Birthday Paradox is how if you are in a group of just 23 people, there is a 50% chance that two of them have the same birthday, and is called a paradox because this seems extremely counterintuitive and more likely to occur than initially thought about. If that probability of that impossible event is 50%, Baljeet considers his chance of actually making friends in high school to be around 40%, which seems pretty good. It wasn’t that he didn’t make friends, but they always felt performative in a way he couldn’t fully commit to. They always seemed so dedicated to making it clear to everyone else around them that despite the A’s that they didn’t care or try, and if it was a B man that test was stupid and they didn’t even try at all lol. If they weren’t like that, they actually didn’t care and thought was school and learning was stupid. (Baljeet loved to learn actually). But one day he had sneaked off into the guitar store where he was staring at a Bullet Stratocaster with his tutoring money in his hand just wondering if it was a good idea to buy it when the worker asked if they went to the same school. They did, and the rest was, as they say, history. If in a group of 23, the probability of finding two people with the same birthday was 50%, then the probability of making a lifelong friend in a guitar store was around 80% (the worker was at the store 4/5 of the possible times that Baljeet would’ve gone in).

Euler’s Identity cannot be explained simply besides to say how simple it is. (It’s e^(i*π) = -1) It is the most basic math formula to like but if Baljeet’s being real, it’s easily his favorite. To find order in chaos. To be overly sappy, Baljeet considers himself akin to π (not i, because he’s the realest person out there fr) and needing that e to make him calm. And not to be overly trusting of institutions, but when he received his acceptance letter at Oxford, that’s what he thought Oxford was to him. The e to the π to satisfy all of his parents’ desires and truly make the life for himself that he wanted.

So when he opened his transcript at the end of his first term knowing fully well the F’s that awaited him, it felt like discovering that cos(π) was 5. If he wanted to discover the secret behind the whispers and make cos(π) = -1 again, then he would have to go to the most Magick-friendly town (according to DuckDuckGo) that could give him the answers. He was going to Swynlake.
