Overview

The DOD FX70 Metal X is a vintage high-gain distortion pedal built in the USA during the early 1990s. Designed to deliver aggressive, saturated distortion, the Metal X was voiced for heavy rock and metal players who wanted thick gain and strong EQ shaping without needing to crank their amp. This pedal functions as a high-gain preamp that can push an amplifier into heavy distortion while maintaining clarity and sustain. 

The FX70 features a simple but effective control layout with Level, Distortion, and dedicated Low and High EQ controls, allowing players to dial in everything from tight, scooped metal tones to gritty rock distortion. Built in DOD’s rugged metal chassis, these early-90s pedals are known for their durability and distinctive tone character that stands out in a mix.
