Used DOD FX 700 COROSION Distortion Pedal

DOD FX70C Corrosion Distortion Pedal

“Distortion on the Edge of Control”

A Brutal, Industrial-Inspired Pedal for Sonic Extremists

Released in 1997, the DOD FX70C Corrosion is a rare and aggressive distortion pedal designed for players who want raw, unfiltered chaos. Based on the FX70 Metal X circuit but with a more extreme voicing, the Corrosion delivers searing gain, scooped mids, and a metallic edge that’s perfect for industrial, grunge, and experimental rock.

Its oxidized metal finish and minimalist graphics give it a rugged, post-apocalyptic aesthetic. With four uniquely named controls—Dissolve, Bottom, Top, and Rust—the FX70C offers a surprising amount of tonal shaping for a pedal that’s all about destruction.

Discontinued in 1999, the Corrosion has become a cult favorite among collectors and noise artists for its unapologetic sound and distinctive look.
