FX-53: What’s In A Name?
Question: Have you long yearned for that uber special sound in your effects chain? A sound that hearkens back to the times when you’d leave your patch cord unattended on the floor to revel in it’s ungodly hum? My friends, the DOD FX-53 Classic Tube is for you!
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As soon as I got the bloody thing the rubber pad on the bottom fell off, the remaining glue remnants picking up a beautiful menagerie of animal hair and carpet fibers. So currently it’s underside is charmingly reminiscent of a Frenchman’s bathing suit region.
Unfortunately there’s nothing “classic” and/or “tube” about this, I’m afraid… But what’s in a name, indeed? It’s loud and it’s hairy and it’s red, but by golly do I love it. Because no one loves their noise like I do. (Except maybe my upstairs neighbours)
Plus it’s heavy enough to smoosh a spider.
