DigiTech DOD Compressor 280 Optical Effects Pedal with Aluminum Chassis and True Bypass (Orange)

Tame the wildest peaks and even out dynamics between single notes and chords with the DigiTech DOD Compressor 280 Optical Effects Pedal in Orange. The 280 is an optical compressor that can go from light sustain to utterly smashed with the turn of a knob. Unlike faster non-optical circuits, the 280 retains your high frequencies until you get into the more extreme settings. The 280 is ideal for chicken-pickin’, added sustain for leads or snappy-slappy funk rhythm. The 280 has enough output to be used as a lead boost with added compressor sustain. And like the updated DOD pedal, it has a modern power jack, LED, light but strong aluminum chassis, and true bypass switching. Its design is based on the legendary DOD Compressor 280 circuit design with updated components.

DigiTech DOD Compressor 280 Optical Effects Pedal with Aluminum Chassis and True Bypass (Orange) SKU: DOD280-14

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Unsure of durability So I bought a new 280 to replace my old 280, which after about three years went bad (footswitch, etc.). The new one looks and sounds the same, but I've noticed the previous settings I used to use on my old one needed adjusting on the new one. Was my old one a lemon from the start? I don't think so. This one seems to have less headroom. In any case, the jury's out on how well this one holds up. I've grown used to the unique way the optical compressor works (it pumps and breathes), so I'm not too enthusiastic about shopping for a different style/model/brand. But if this one goes bad, too, I'll have no choice but to assume the quality control for these units is poor.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Lots of Internal Distortion The compressor does its job but has a lot of distortion internally (triple checked with different amps, cords, power supplies, and guitars). It doesn't matter how good a pedal is if it has such distortion. I returned mine and got a new one so I'll have to see if it was a defective pedal or the product itself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice little comp Bought this for cleaning up any melodic guitar parts and to have a comp for any bass parts for my bedroom recording project. It’s honestly great for those things, but if you’re looking for any always on comp, this one will add too much breath effect to your chords and strumming and take away any dynamics.
