{"title":"DOD Electronics — America's Pedal Since 1974","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFounded in Salt Lake City in August 1974 by engineer David Oreste DiFrancesco and musician John Johnson on an initial investment of $100, DOD Electronics built the foundation of American stompbox design. The company name comes from the founder's initials. The original 1977 DOD 250 Overdrive\/Preamp became one of the defining American overdrive circuits — a touchstone referenced by generations of boutique builders that followed, including the legendary Yngwie Malmsteen Signature YJM308 reissue and the current 250-X that marks the tenth iteration of the platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThrough the late 1970s and 1980s, DOD earned the unofficial nickname \"America's Pedal\" by putting working-musician overdrive, distortion, fuzz, and modulation into reliable metal boxes at prices a touring guitarist could justify. The 1990s pivot toward more creative product names — Gonkulator, Meatbox, Buzzbox, Boneshaker — created a generation of cult collectibles that command serious resale prices today. Harman International acquired DOD in 1990–1991, and the brand is now under Cortek (the parent company of Cort Guitars), which has steadily reissued the pedals that defined the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe current lineup balances the heritage circuits (250 Overdrive, 201 Phasor, 280 Compressor, 440 Envelope Filter, 410 Bifet Boost — all in their classic form) with newer designs co-developed with boutique builders. The Looking Glass is a DOD-and-SHOE Pedals collaboration. The Boneshaker, voiced for extended-range and baritone guitars, was designed by Black Arts Toneworks (the boutique behind the Pharaoh fuzz). The Rubberneck is a true all-analog 1.5-second delay with bucket-brigade bona fides. The Carcosa and Chthonic are modern fuzz designs. And the recently released Badder Monkey expands the iconic Bad Monkey overdrive into three blendable circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVictory Musical is an authorized DOD dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dod-250-x-overdrive-preamp","title":"DOD 250-X Overdrive Preamp - 10th Iteration","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThe 10th iteration of the legendary DOD 250 Overdrive\/Preamp — refining the original 1977 circuit that defined American overdrive sound, with modern build quality and reliability.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10th iteration of the iconic 250 Overdrive\/Preamp series that DOD launched in 1977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic American overdrive — warm, mid-forward, dynamic to picking attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simple Level and Gain — the same circuit topology that made the 250 legendary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Players seeking the original American OD sound with modern reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves your signal when off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEW for 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348122759219,"sku":"DOD250-X-U","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"dod-gunslinger-mosfet-distortion","title":"DOD Gunslinger MOSFET Distortion Pedal","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gunslinger delivers high-velocity MOSFET distortion with the touch sensitivity, string separation, and harmonic complexity of classic high-gain amplifiers — built for explosive chord work and articulate leads.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMOSFET distortion circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Touch-sensitive, dynamic, with strong string separation across the gain range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-band (Low \/ High) for tone sculpting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V or 12V operation — 12V opens up additional headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard rock, classic metal, high-gain leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves your signal when off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348122791987,"sku":"DOD-GUNSLINGER-U","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1768\/9095\/files\/DTDODGUNSLNG.jpg?v=1779838398"},{"product_id":"dod-bifet-boost-410","title":"DOD Bifet Boost 410 with Selectable Buffer","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThe DOD 410 is a clean Bifet boost with a selectable buffer — push your amp into natural overdrive, drive other pedals harder, or simply buffer your signal across a long cable run.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBifet boost circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent gain stage for amp-pushing or as a clean front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable buffer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engage as a permanent buffer at the start of your signal chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to ~+20dB of clean boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solo boost, tightening tone before other pedals, or driving an already-overdriven amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue bypass mode\u003c\/strong\u003e available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348122890291,"sku":"DOD410-14-U","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1768\/9095\/files\/DTDOD41014.jpg?v=1779838403"},{"product_id":"dod-250-overdrive-preamp","title":"DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 with True Bypass","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThe classic DOD 250 Overdrive\/Preamp — the original recipe with true bypass and 9V operation.
