DOD or Boss?

Should I go with the DOD FX86 or the Boss MT-2 ?

Hmmmm DOD or BOSS??? Such a hadr choice i mean the DOD is build like shit and dosent even sound that great and also lacks versatility while the BOSS is built like a tank and you cna almost any sound you want. Ill let you decide. Goto a guitar store and play them

For one there is all ready 2,000 threads on this topic.

Any ways I have both, and the DOD was a waste of cash just like buying a Danelecto Black Coffee. Metal Zone all the way!

I'd go for the MT-2 as it's versatile and would probably be the only thing in your house to survive nuclear armageddon.

I've only got a shitty cheap 15W amp but with that little box of tricks I can still get a mighty sound out of it. Best £85 (about US$140) I've ever spent.

Jeez, we Brits really get ripped off over here. The MT-2 is £85 over here so I just converted that price to US$.

I've decided to go with the DOD FX86. It's cheaper than the MT-2 here, and I like the sound of them both the same. I'll probably go buy the MT-2 some time.

whatever you like the sound of best dude. i've played both and didn't have a problem with either, i just thought the boss was alot more versitile pedal. i hear alot of complaints about the construction quality of dod, i never had a problem, but there are more than a couple bitter members on these forums that are probably going to tell you all about it.

Good point, I remember going in Mars music and a fucking line of people would watch me play for, it seemed for about 3 hours.
Go try it out and whatever fits your taste, BUY IT! This ain't no Martha Stewart bullshit.

i personally prefer the dod cos it has a crzy amount of distortion only thing is u have to tinker with it a bit when playin live cos it has shit loads of crappy feedback. Its a lot better than a boss mt2 but not as versatile.

you really need to go to a store. the online demos don't do them justice, anyway. every big guitar shop should have a rack with just about every pedal hooked up. i prefer boss, btw. sturdy as shit and good as fuck! lol

The town I live in (Cranbrook BC) has 1 guitar/bass/effects store, and they only have 2 pedals. A crappy pedal with "70's Fuzz" written on the box, and a $8000.00 Digitech EQ. No FX86 or MT-2. The closest store is in Calgary, a 5 hour drive. 6 or 7 if I'm stoned.
