Welcome back! Ok so first, "why the DOD 250?"... I know I typically talk about super rare and obscure pedals on this channel, but I have been working on the history of the first few years of the 250 for a while, and honestly, the information currently available is full of crater-sized mystery holes. And so it's these massive unknowns that pushed me to make this video. That, and the fact that the DOD 250 is the best overdrive pedal ever made. :)

Here is Part 2 of the DOD 250 Video Series:

I also want to send a huge THANK YOU! first to Josh from JHS for helping me out bigtime with the research. He not only sent me a ton of photos of his extensive DOD collection to use in this video, but also hooked me up with the transcripts of his interviews with David and John, the founders of DOD. Both were amazing gestures, and I really appreciate it.

Second, to anyone else who's ever posted photos of their early DOD pedals online (I happened to use quite a few in this video), I am very grateful to you as well. I love that this nerdy community can always come together and help reconstruct the often murky past of vintage effects...

So if you have never watched the JHS video on the History of the DOD 250, where they cover basically the entire life of the pedal, go here immediately after our video:
