Hey Ola just wanted to say that my dad told me that him and his friend from high school played guitar and his friend was able to shred with 5 FINGERS its crazy for me to think about. He said that's the only person he knew who could do that. My dad said he couldn't even get close to doing that
Holy crap dude I had no idea what that pedal was going to be like, but it's spooky noises and your reactions were hilarious! I was laughing the whole time, it was a joy to see how much fun you were having haha. You rule Ola, take care👊
@@crbulldog5638 that was a pedal that I always saw at GC as a kid but was afraid to try it because I didn't want my dad to know I was listening to death metal haha. He seriously hated it back then so I never got to check it out, but I found a 1st gen of it so I sent it to Ola to try out. Brought back a lot of memories, but never would've imagined such noises would come out of a pedal!
It's times like these however intrinsic everyone should be using a decibel noise meter in their sound lab. Keep your practice/amitude safe from dogs for up to 12 miles. I'd cut the post chords to solve any issues, return to sender. I'd hope my neighbour doesn't invest in these technologies. They must have been donations or bad omens sent in the mail. Ola, presents the heretic of metal pedal series. In hell, distortion goes all wrong.
3:20 I figured Scream was actually treble and Pain was mid, Guts as bass and RIP volume/gain I think the DOD pedal could do with some refurbishment, likely deteriorating components causing the annoying noises and weird effects, from an electronics nerd
I have had two dod death metal pedals and yeah it does not make those noises normally, something is a wee bit fucky with that one Though if you ever get the opportunity to run two of them together... don't
Welcome to a short visit in my world >_< I can't even hear the noise in the beginning of the video as my tinnitus is louder and probably around the same frequency. Around ~04:00 comes close tho.
Try living with it, I do. Lol. Not so bad during the day when there's noise around me but bad when I'm in a quiet room at night... Have to sleep with noise in the room.
@@tite93 Yeah, I guess I'm "lucky" that way, I am used to never having silence so I can mostly ignore it. Have had it since before I can even remember. Mine can go up and down in "level" depending on the form for the day. But there are so many different kinds of tinnitus and mine is due to damage and not stress or stiff neck. Stress and stiff neck can be fixed, this can't =/
Something is wrong. I had one of those first DODs and not only did it not have those issues, the tone knobs didn’t not react that way. Guts was low, pain was MIDS, and scream was highs. I think that one needs some maintenance 😂
@@diegoleiva7242 I just got one. It is the first version but the later blood splatter, that is more swirly and less blood-like. But it doesn't have the normal knob names on the top, just the funky bottom ones. I would say it reacted similarly with my setup. Lots of screeching on certain settings. Need a noise-gate or something.
He says that the Pain knob was treble because it's an unusually high "mids" control. Then scream is even higher, it basically served to control noise when I was messing around.
I owned the Death metal pedal back in 96. I remember the instruction book had settings to “sound like” Napalm death, carcass, and pungent stench. Nope lol
Oh man. I have a weird, partially rotten place in my heart for the DOD Death Metal pedal. It was my very first distortion pedal in 1999/2000 and rather than plugging it into my practice amp, I plugged it directly into a P.A. belonging to a friend and it was pure joy to my inexperienced ears. I don't recall the Theramin-like behavior though 😆 Thanks for checking it out - thanks to Kevin Frassard for sending it to you. It was a nice trip down memory lane.
Mine was an EHX Metal Muff w/Top Boost...and I thought it sounded pretty good way back when I hadn't ever heard or played a real amp in person haha Yea, no, noooooooooooo
I remember trying a DOD DM pedal back in the 90s. Played with it for like 15 minutes and vowed to never touch it again. This validates that decision. lol
This is the only metal-guitar channel I watch - endlessly entertaining & you’re a great player. my girl winces when you expel gas .. which is justice. I think you just sold a kraken. It sounds like it digs pedals, and it’s gorgeous. P.S. I just learned that you manufacture these guitars too & they’re beautiful! If you’re ever in Hollywood, drop me a line. I know some spots. ☮️
that modulation pedal is definitely the culprit when it comes to that white noise/oscilating hum loop. that is feeding on the gain signal from the DOD and running it on its own electrical power supply might have eliminated that issue, depending on how good your electrical is insulated in your office building
lmao i was laughing so hard with the deathmetal pedal! you could definitely get some crazy sounds for a song with it. i wouldn't use it other then some weird effects for a crazy song.
the sound of the 'tinnitus' produced by the deathmetal ended up being i guess a half tone apart from my actual tinnitus so... i guess that's pretty brutal
Love it brah!!! The DOD Death Metal pedal was the first pedal I ever bought back in 96. I actually hated it at the time. But it does sounds great now. A proper walk down memory lane for me. Thanks for making my Saturday 🤘⚡️
I like this new segment and could be interesting to also combine the pedals on display to hear what sort of sounds might come out. Even if it doesn't make sense, the experimentation could be fun to witness with the touch of Ola. Thanks for the videos :)
I had one many yrs ago,I used to get great tone out of it mixed with another distortion or overdrive in front of it,I used to keep both the 3rd and 4th knob turned all the way down on the Death Metal and run a Boss Ds2 in front of it,set to turbo setting,tone knob about 12 o clock and play with the level and dist amount on the ds2 both pretty minimal. Oddly it cleans the death metal up.It's hard to get a good tone out the death metal alone,its just either too muddy or fizzy.But I got pretty killer tone with both those pedals together many yrs ago. You should do a video titled can I get a good tone out of a Digitech Death Metal.I would def be interested to hear the result with another dist or overdrive in front of it and some eq setting on the amp.Rock on Ola!
Josh really does cover the DOD that he calls "the Lamb Series" and that's got those crazy names. I think that one is broken since it's self oscillating
A suggestion. Ok. The Grunge Distortion Pedal from Digitech. It's the only distortion pedal I ever personally liked from Digitech. Otherwise, I'm a Boss Pedal guy all the way. Vox for Wah Pedals though. Oooh, the Vox V847 Wah Wah, it's got one hell of a mean growl too it, and it has tons of range, I've had mine for 18 year's, and I love it. It's just a really mean, loud and aggressive wah pedal, Dunlops were always too quiet for my style of playing. Take care Ola.🤘🏻🤘🏻
WOW DOD Death Metal FX86, horror sci-fi soundtrack and theremin in one single pedal, AND death metal distortion. THAT's why I have one. Tip: it's killer with bass
The DOD FX86 was like that straight out of the box. My first amp in 1993 was a Peavy rage 108, it sucked, the drive was non existent, I saved up and bought the death metal summer of 1994, through that amp it had that same squeal except a million times more obnoxious. It was hilarious, the next year I got my JCM-900, was even more ridiculous through that amp. Ola I want you to try the ModTone Extreme Metal, I still have my FX86 and bought the ModTone to pay homage to it and was actually surprised how awesome the Extreme Metal is.
IDK if someone already mentioned that, but last two knobs of DOD pedal works kinda similar to Filter cutoff and resonance (in synthesizers). Maybe they just adjusted some simple filter to be in the pedal. I mean there is definitely self-oscillation happening
Have a great Friday everyone!
Feared forever brother...👊🤘🤘

priceless reactions to the dod lmao!!

The Mighty big Kev 🙌💪 what's up big dog
Was it either send it to Ola or throw it in the garbage.
Spooky noises, Halloween month...it all worked out dude 😄

His pedal frenzy in late 70s defined a genre....
That dod thing illustrates tinnitus pretty well tbh
that death pedal has trapped souls from hell inside.
3:22 and so Ola became a noise artist.
It's called experimental music and not noise XD
😂
Watch out Merzbow!
@@marvintimke3978 th-cam.com/video/-a3SIjNKHHg/w-d-xo.html :) Ola's new thing

Ola, presents the heretic of metal pedal series. In hell, distortion goes all wrong.
3:50 is basically the start of slipknots 1999 album 😂🤘🏻
the DOD death metal was my first distortion pedal and this video has convinced me to go find one and buy it again! What a god damn beauty.
With volume on max, the Death Metal self oscillates... That's how it was designed... It's unique and amazing if you know how to harness it's power.
It's actually really nice hearing you play with tones outside your norm.
3:20 I figured Scream was actually treble and Pain was mid, Guts as bass and RIP volume/gain
I think the DOD pedal could do with some refurbishment, likely deteriorating components causing the annoying noises and weird effects, from an electronics nerd
Nailed it. His pedal is fucked.
I have had two dod death metal pedals and yeah it does not make those noises normally, something is a wee bit fucky with that one
Though if you ever get the opportunity to run two of them together... don't
Doom guy?
I recommend NOT to use headphones during this episode. You’ve been warned.
I saw this shit after
Ear sizzle
Wish I saw this in time
Too late buddy...
Damn, that tinnitus sound may be the worst thing ever

Yup. That thing's modded. Sure as hell it never oscillated in stock form...

Nope lol
Right! I bought it in 97' i still have the original booklet. It was quite funny
Peter Venkman that’s awesome
I spent about 10 minutes laughing during that first pedal

😂😂😂😂
"Imagine that sound 24 hours a day."
Ola I feel seen.
Greatly the most my favorite moment of Ola's video ever 2:59
One minute mark. Every musician's nightmare
2:45 Send this man an ISP Decimator please ! 😄
"Imagine hearing that all the time in your ears"
Oh I don't have to imagine it 😂
Ola needs to reach out to Fluff and give him a few pointers on getting a clean tone prior to testing a distortion pedal. Just saying.
Woah! Haven't heard the DOD Death since highschool! Brings me back.
9:12 sounds beyond awesome!

This series is awesome! I love random pedal demos -- more of these please!!
Ahh a little Ola in the morning before I go to work! 🤠
Love this new series ola
RIP Eddie van Halen
love when he casually plays your favourite Feared riff

Great idea, thanks Ola
You should connect the Miku pedal with the DOD and check what happens :D
Looooool!
I can imagine Louise and your brother's faces when you tweaked the Death Metal pedal!
Mine Eventually only made the squeaking noises but I still miss it
@@PooNinja same.
lmao i was laughing so hard with the deathmetal pedal! you could definitely get some crazy sounds for a song with it. i wouldn't use it other then some weird effects for a crazy song.
Best sound ever in that DOD pedal!
That's what I hear 24/7. It's been a while now, probably from seeing Ministry in 1995.
Same here but whit a gun discharged to close to my left ear
You could make some cool intros with those crazy screeching noises
I love the way ola says tinnitus ❤
Translation for DOD pedal knobs should be - Level / Low / Mid / High - Gain it´'s always at 11, of course...
Next one should include the Walrus SLÖ. Would love to hear some clean doodling with such a pretty and eerie sounding pedal.
Creeping Death via tremolo pedal-that's awesome sauce!
Love Tremolo pedals, my favourite is the Carl Martin Surf Trem, very simple but great sounding Trem
the sound of the 'tinnitus' produced by the deathmetal ended up being i guess a half tone apart from my actual tinnitus so... i guess that's pretty brutal
I remember having that deathmetal pedal in the early to mid nineties before I got the Zoom 505 effects processor 🤘
Cliff Burton's ghost flys in because Halloween-He fucking shreds!
The feedback from that Digitech Death Metal sounds dope AF
The feedback from the DOD Death Metal pedal in the beginning would make a awesome intro to a album. Just a saying!!
Ola making dubstep is the best thing so far today
I had the DoD death metal pedal way back when. Then I found the metal zone and played that shit forever. I still dig it.
I really liked that Fender trem pedal, added a lot of warmth and just the right shimmer. 😎👍
Love it brah!!! The DOD Death Metal pedal was the first pedal I ever bought back in 96. I actually hated it at the time. But it does sounds great now. A proper walk down memory lane for me. Thanks for making my Saturday 🤘⚡️
Nice episode. Need more of this!
OMG that DOD noise is the sound I hear when I go to bed...every day...I'm screwed up
Ahhh... the DOD DM of my late teens... I couldn't tame it either bro lol. Great vid as always!
2:52 for the built in "Pig Squeal"
DOD was ahead of their time!!!!
03:05 Now I have tinnitus. Thank you, Ola
Those sounds are the shadow guitarists from another dimension Ola.
Nobody will ever rag on the metal zone again after that DOD demo.
That DOD pedal frequencies opens the gates to hell!
I like this new segment and could be interesting to also combine the pedals on display to hear what sort of sounds might come out. Even if it doesn't make sense, the experimentation could be fun to witness with the touch of Ola. Thanks for the videos :)

Great video ola !! Lovin that a2.6 man !!
Dude that noise was terrifying!
We run our bass through a DOD pedal in rehearsal, it actually works quite well.
Josh really does cover the DOD that he calls "the Lamb Series" and that's got those crazy names.
I think that one is broken since it's self oscillating
I can't decide if I love or hate that orange guitar. I do want a Solar though.
Orange solar guitar. Very nice.
Got DOD Death Metal & For playing use Noise Suppressor + Graphic EQ = All good, no any noises.
A suggestion. Ok. The Grunge Distortion Pedal from Digitech. It's the only distortion pedal I ever personally liked from Digitech. Otherwise, I'm a Boss Pedal guy all the way.

Great Series! You should try out the .PHSC pdls. Launcher. You’ll be blown away for sure
When he was fiddling with the "Scream" knob on the DOD Deathmetal i thought he was going for the intro to Muse's Plug in Baby
That guitar reminds me a lot of the misha one he uses in the Marigold playthrough, sick
WOW DOD Death Metal FX86, horror sci-fi soundtrack and theremin in one single pedal, AND death metal distortion. THAT's why I have one.
Tip: it's killer with bass
Freaking buzz saw on the DOD !
BRUTAL!!! I'm just a few seconds here.
I preordered this orange Solar 🥰
since you’re getting tattoos are you gonna get one of dimebag?
Love your channel AWSOME playing loads of info love that orange color very halloween!!!
Ola and the dolphin calls
I really liked this video Ola, and nice guitar!
That tinnitus line had me laughing. Nice vid man.
We need this. Proper critique.
The metal pedal is self oscillating? Controls are volume, bass, mids, treble.
Man that first pedal! As it was designed, Tom Morello was pulling the strings from the shadows...
3:40 A wild Mick Gordon appears…
Definitely the tinnitus tone. Its no joke, protect your hearing no matter what you're doing friends!
That may be your CabClone making the noise. Glenn Fricker had a similar situation with his.
This is the funniest pedal demo I've ever seen
The DOD FX86 was like that straight out of the box.
