DOD and DigiTech have been revived (LIVE with Tom Cram) 

First: this is the best episode of your web show ever! I am so proud to call Tom a friend! Some time after Tom started at Harman he and I started "geeking out" about recording consoles and studio stuff. I was working for the Allen & Heath division at the time, and I knew that I had found a friend for life! This announcement for DOD/Digi is the best thing to happen in years! Makes me sad that I'm not part of team, but I'm too old for that anyway. Between DOD/Digi and Spiral the world is in for some amazing stuff!

Yay! Tom’s DOD and Digitech stuff was always cool! If the Hardwire line can come back, in whatever form it may take, that would be great too!

Always here for Tom Cram!

Long live the RV-7 (Lexicon-based) reverb, the Drop, the Mosaic and the FreqOut! They are outstanding brushes for us artists to render beautiful paintings.

My favorite guests are ones that just keep going and going. A fountain of history and information. Also nerd jazz was absolutely incredible.

Tom is a man of his word. He's great to his customers! I own his Spiral FX "Secret Chord" pedal. Best mild-overdrive/dirty-boost I have ever used-- or heard, for that matter!

My first ever pedal was a DOD fx 59 trash master, that was given to me by my uncle. It's amazing, especially on bass, and it makes me really happy to see DOD coming back in the game!

Carcosa is my favorite fuzz box of all time. I bought it on a whim at a pawn shop and I'll never sell it. It's a monster of a box.

Tom is awesome. I bought #33 of his first 100 overdrives, before he had to change the name to Spiral. Also, his wife Dawn was nice enough to share some tips on knob casting in resin so I could make my own knobs. Thanks for this episode. So glad DOD is back. I have all four of the large box originals (Phasor, Flanger, Chorus, and Analog Delay), plus Overdrive Plus, Digital Delay, analog Delay, Stereo Flanger, Stereo Chorus, and Classic Fuzz. A favorite brand for a long time.

Yeah, 250 times YEAH!!! Great News! Tom is an amazing guy with great stories! Hope to see him more often on the show! Long live DOD! 🤩🎸🤘

I'm so happy that DOD and Digitech are back!!! been my favorite pedals since high school when I started with an Rp50 or something like that. Now have the carcosa, ice box, 250, some of the hardwire pedals, and the multi chorus. So ahead of there times. So thankful. My bassist talked me into getting the 2010's jamman, its so useful for out rehearsals

as a DOD fan and as someone who has nothing but respect for Mr Cram, its a joy to see DOD back with Tom at the helm

JHS Show, what a way to come roaring back. I've got the Cram Chartreuse 250, it's killer. Freqout is a joy. Rubberneck is a temple of creation. Carcosa swallows time! D O D not DOA. All hail!

DOD is the RCA of pedals, there before everyone else and no one was ready.

That was awesome! Tom is a great guy.

The DOD Milk Box and the Digitech Bad Monkey were two of my favourite pedals for years.

I have a carcosa. Not a big fuzz guy but that's one that appeals to me. Great pedal. Also got the jhs mod op amp big muff

I own six DOD/DigiTech pedals, and they are all terrific. Here's to hoping the new offerings live up to their stellar reputation.

FX10 Bi-Fet Preamp - Amazingly useful little pedal. Picked one up new many years ago for something like $40, for use with acoustic guitar pickups. Sold it when I moved to more complex solutions. I've regretted parting with it! I recently had a need for it with an electric (wanted a simple buffer in front of my volume pedal), and was startled to find that used ones sell for $150. One thing I loved about it was that the buffer was always on, so you had two buffered tones available. -Tom

No reissue, just progressions. ✊🏽 Totally in for the ride. 👊🏽 Welcome back DOD & DigiTech.

This was fricken awesome! Thank you to everybody involved, ya'll rock🙌🤘🙌

One of my very favorite pedals OF ALL TIME is the DOD classic fuzz. That little metallic orange monster sounds HUGE.

For those who love & use compessors, for me, the DOD 280 Comp is my all time fav comp. Holds on like a saltwater croc and has very little "bloom" at the end of the note which seems to plague many other comps I have used over the years. Had one of the originals that was stolen and now one of the updated versions which to my ear is as good (if not better) as the original I previously had. Good to see that DOD is back again ......... 🎸

This news is awesome. I hated it when I first heard how Tom and crew got the boot after releasing IMO some of the best designed pedals in DOD/Digitech's history. I was like WTF?! The Boneshaker is an epic distortion pedal for bass guitar. The Gunslinger, Looking glass, Rubber Neck... All killer pedals!

The best Digitech pedal for me is the Freqout. The most fun and useful pedal in years...

We've all been there , wanted to buy something so expensive we had to come up with "it's for my birthday, overhours, being a good dad, buying flowers that one day, growing a mustach...

Just amazing news, I'm so excited for Tom and the old team to be back at it!

ohmigod, I love the Ambrose Bierce/Robert Chambers lit review + jazz and steady cam!!!! It makes it feel like my English PhD was actually worth it. Very touching!

I'm elated that they're back, they were my go to source for effects, tone wise they beat the pants off of the Boss stuff, and I absolutely love the stuff Tom was doing before halted production. 💥💥💥

a revamped spacestation with parameter controls that do different things depending on the preset and maybe some lfo/envelope options is something i've dreamed about for years

I loved the lounge jam to classic weird fiction. Also, my first effects pedal was the DOD Super American Metal.

Daddy/Josh, Please don’t leave us again. We promise to be good.

I would love to see some of the FX series come back in some way, specifically, the FX-65 Stereo Chorus. I have never heard another chorus pedal that sound like it, especially when connected to two amps. There's just something a little different in there with the delay control. Thanks for doing this Josh.

This so awesome. I was lucky to get a Carcosa and a Gunslinger and I really like the direction they were going with those 2 pedals. Cortec produces some nice quality guitars and they know how to put emphasis on quality so this is very hopeful.

I've wanted DOD to bring out a pedal with their Pixellator effect from the DOD Tec4x and SpaceStation for decades. The Pixellator was a fabulous arpeggiating bitcrusher. And I've never found anything that worked like it since.

This is awesome! I remember walking into a store in the mid 90's and plugging in a DOD Death Metal and going whoa! Holy crap. Still my favourite unapologetic distortion pedal. Hopefully it can return in some way too.

My Hardware RV-7 is always in use. My first new pedal was a DOD Phasor when I was in Elementary school. I love this.

Great jams on this episode! I am stoked to see DOD and DigiTech back!

“Jazz is already nerdy enough” …absolutely hilarious!

Waiting for the Trio+ and Freqout to be available back on shelves in music stores all over the world.

This particular episode floored me. Just to hear how passionate Tom was and remains about pedals is inspiring. The pedal industry is indeed tiny compared to the kind of product and revenue volumes of the name brands that sit inside our homes. As my wife often says, it’s not how big it is, it’s all about how much passion and gain stages you use. A great episode. Thanks for doing this.

I’ve waited so long for you guys having Tom Kram over 😊 so glad it’s finally happened. Definitely one of my all time pedal designers! His love for art is just so inspiring, and hearing him talk about literature was just awesome. DOD guys please consider reissuing (or redesigning) a new Dod Grind pedal I gotta have that 🥰

Come for the Cram, stay for the Jam😎 The Carcosa led me to find out about the works of Ambrose Bierce and Robert Chambers. Webpage at the time had no description on the pedal, and just made me more curious, which pulled me into a total fascination with the King in Yellow. Thank You Tom Cram. Is there anyway the digital effects, once the parts can be sourced again, could ever be made into a multi-mural-effects pedal, kinda in competition with the TC Plethora?

Great to see Tom!

Good to have you back guys, i really missed your jams. Glad to see that Digitech is back, they need to re-release the X-Series. Those pedals were really good.

I’d love to see the Hardwire line come back, and the nostalgia in me wants to see the Grunge and my first guitar pedal, the Supra Distortion, come back as well.

Oh man, this is great news. I still have and use the DOD FX40 equalizer (no battery cover), my Whammy 4 from 1999, and love the Obscura and Freqout pedals. I even still use the old Digitech jam man, hah. Digitech and DOD stuff was always so much fun to create with. 👍

My favorite thing is Tom and Joshua talking about religion and literature. Feel free to do more rabbit trails like that.

This is wonderful news. As a fan of both Cort and DigiTech gear, I think this is great news for both brands.

Super sweet!! Glad to see them back. These are the first pedals I collected. I have atleast one of each model, most with box, paperwork, and battery cover. They should create replacement battery covers.

It is hard for me to sell pedals because I have a bad habit of selling the good ones. I had a dirty robot, sold it, had a King of Tone I bought for cheap, sold it. I am scared of selling but now I have way too many pedals, I am going to end up like Josh one day

PS, I remembered the name of the Gonkulator Ring Mod Pedal, just from the sound! I always wanted one… I’m so happy for Digitech and all involved!!!

woohoo! Love my Carcosa, Obscura Polara and Brute Fuzz, it'll be great to finally get hold of some of those DOD classics.

I started playing guitar when I was 14. For my 15th birthday, my mom got me a DOD FX50B Overdrive, which was my first pedal. She was killed in a car wreck on my 34th birthday. I still have the pedal. I can't bring myself to sell anything, ever.

DOD is my all time favorite pedal brand. Tom is such a great dude and very patient with all of us pedal nerds. Josh, thanks for all the research, info, and the time you've put in on DOD. You have your own company and you don't have to promote others, so it's just pretty cool to see. Best episode of this show yet.

My FX75C Stereo Flanger lives on my pedalboard so that I can make sitar noises for songs like Paint it Black. I have not found anything that does it better. This needs to be updated and released!

Scintillating convo. Thank you.

The lounge jam over the Chambers Lovecraft dialogue was just amazing.

Loved the "Can you taste tone ?" episode

That was fun! Glad to see everyone back! It was a long January... Happy to see DOD/ Digitech back and moving forward, too.

The FX 7 was awesome back in those days. The ability to put a gate on the grunge distortion made it so much more articulate. I played in hardcore bands in high school during the 90’s using only an FX 7 & a Vox wah. I had an Ibanez Joe Satriani & a Peavey combo amp. Those were the days

I have 2 DigiTech Digidelays on my board one for straight digital delay the other set in modulation delay with the delay repeats all the way off and delay time set about the 7oclock position which does a almost spot on MXR doubler. I had an old MXR flanger doubler in my rack rig in the 80's I loved and could never find a pedal that did that well. The Digidelay comes in at about 90 percent spot on. Glad to see DOD back.

I was an all-DOD /DIGI man 1985-1990, still have 6 DOD Gunslingers ! ! -- all working ! !

Strong work Tom! Keep it up amigo!!!

OMG! That is so awesome~! I Want Some Bass Pedals!!!!!!! I felt lost one could say, while the pedals were away. Almost like I was stuck off on a deserted island somewhere.

Nice. I knew that was why the Carcosa got its name. I love King in Yellow

including an effects loop on the rubberneck really solidifies it as a legendary delay pedal. it really opens the door for experimentation. i personally love using a gonkulator in the effects loop to make the repeats a lot more lofi.

Great to see them back. DOD and Digitech effects have always been in my set-up

My first pedal was the 'Super American Metal'. Now, I own most of the Hardwire series... amazing stuff.

JHS back from the dead, I've been having serious mental breakdowns with you guys being MIA all last month. I even called all the hospitals you weren't in any of them! But it's ok I can quit holding my breath, youre back. I can quit calling the police about missing JHS persons.

Did you say Cor-Tek? Dont they make guitars for PRS, the SE range?

Thanks for this! I gotta say if Tom Cram wasn't involved in this new incarnation I would have completely written off the new DOD/Digitech!

So glad to see this development. My DOD 250 is always on my board. 😎👏

I’m really hoping to see some of the hardwire line come back. The supernatural was the end all verb for me.

Great episode and VERY good news! Only one word about the Gonkulator. It should have a noise gate built in, as the chosen frequency is always sent to the pedal's output. You can hear it in the video and believe me as subtle this synthetic frequency comes across in the video as annoying it is in real live. That's why the Gonk with a noise gate after it is in a switchable loop on my board.

Dod and boss were the first pedals I wanted. I'm the same age as Josh, so we both grew up wanting them. I'm glad to see them back.

I am honestly APPALLED that the DOD Thrash Master was not mentioned ONE TIME in this video.

Great episode! So glad DOD/Digitech is back. 😀 I used to converse with Tom over on TGP til obese Mike banned me. 😁 Good luck Tom! 😎🤘

The background jam while Tom and Joshua were chatting was so good. Loved it

I think an update of the Digitech jamman looper would be amazing!

My first pedal was an RP50. I always thought of Digitech as a cold corporation, Tom is the MAN

Drum mix sounds amazing on this video

Ha ha! I had one of those space stations back in the early 90s. There was a few things that I really liked about it and a whole bunch of stuff that I just didn’t even touch. Right now my favorite delay unit is a Digitech Obscura. It really sounds amazing in the build is high quality.

45:00 it was nice to take a look around the room. Thanks.

Josh Your music is killer. I hope you have albums.

So stoked to hear this news. As a metal lover. The DOD. Death metal pedal is my all time favorite metal pedal. Would love an update of that. The X series would be awesome as well.

Well worth the wait!! You bringing this news to light is actually music to my ears!

Yoooooo. That's awesome. Carcosa is def a legend of a fuzz in its own time, and the frequout, the rubberneck, the gunslinger, all so good. Glad to see the dream team back

My Digitech delay/phrase sampler is my favorite pedal. It's an amazing looper and the delay has so many options. Incredible.

I loved Digitech but Dod was a bit to noisy for me, so thank you Tom Cram......Take care guys awesome Show !!!!

One pedal not mentioned was the looking glass. I think it’s probably my favorite DOD pedal.

Hey everyone it’s JOSH! He’s back

Omg Dod FX7 holy crap. Takes me right back to being 15 again. That was such a great little pedal at the time.

Great news, but for me the critical pedal would be the RP360/500/1000 replacement to compete with Line 6/Boss GT/ooer etc. MFX pedals.

What wonderful news! Best wishes to all for a wonderful future.

Awesome love this

For Joshua - have a look at the writings of Arthur Machen; he was a direct influence on Lovecraft.

Funny that Digitech was ignored and dumped by a giant Korean comapny (Samsung) then revived by another Korean company (so much smaller though). I remember not being able to find Drop anywhere in Canada/US, I had to order one from Germany and that was only few months ago! Good job Cortek and thank you for having the team back!

Still have my DOD chorus & supra-distortion! Love them!

The DOD Classic Fuzz is one of the best fuzzes l've ever used. And l got a Digitech RP 200 at a pawnshop a couple of years ago for the retro modulation effects--trem, rotary and vibrato, oh yeah--and l quickly discovered l love it for many other things as well. Baby's first digital Swiss Army knife? Sure. But it sounds great and that's the story of it.
