DOD 280 Compressor Reissue Pedal
Fresh squeezed. We proudly present the DOD Compressor 280. With the DOD 280,
you can tame the wildest peaks and even out dynamics between single notes and
chords. Deftly tear your way through licks that blend fretted notes and open
strings without dramatic changes in volume.
Whether you’re goin’ deep country with spankin’ clean tone or rattling teeth
with staccato-driven ri!s, the DOD 280 will add finesse o your picking attack
for consistent performances.
The DOD Compressor 280 will help you manage the dynamic range of the input
signal from your instrument. Compressing your dynamic range will make notes
sustain longer, the sound seem tighter and help you avoid clipping the signal
going into other e!ects or your amplifie .
Like its predecessor, the DOD Compressor 280 o!ers independent Compression and
Output controls. True bypass allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even
when the DOD 280 is o!. This is a big di!erence from the original, which would
color your bypassed tone. The modern 9V DC power supply input makes the pedal
more pedalboard friendly.

HOW IT WORKS
Placement of the DOD Compressor 280:
- Most guitarists/bassists favor placing the DOD Compressor 280 at the beginning of their chain of e!ects, so start with that placement.
- Since compressors have a great a!ect on your approach, dynamics and sustain, placing it towards the front or your chain of e!ects will “preserve the vibe” no matter the pedal combination.
- That being said, you may wish to experiment with e!etc placement to find the sound th t best fits our playing.
Setup of the DOD Compressor 280:
-
Start with both controls at 12:00, their midpoint.
Then adjust to taste. If the result is too extreme, then turn the compression control down to a lower setting. -
All settings will be heavily dependent on the output level of your instrument, the dynamic range of your playing style and the results you want from the compression.
