Got some old US made (I think) DOD pedals today. I think one of them is relatively sought after.
DOD Overdrive Preamp FX50 - This is the first version with the TL022CP Chip. Mint in original box with warranty card.
DOD Flanger 575 Performer
The flanger takes two (2) 9V (WTF!) so I haven't been able to play it. The FX50 sounds like a Dist+ a little bit, which makes sense because I think the circuit is similar to a DOD250. There are some BINs on ebay for 199$ yet some for cheaper as well. Interesting.

There is NOTHING on the net about these pedals. Next to no discussion on any forums. The flanger is incredible and so is the OD... just need to find a power supply that has a 1/4" plug.
Simple diode-based overdrive, based on the Ibanez Tubescreamer. Reacts well to your guitar's pickups and amp's gain structure. Can get a little narly with high distortion setting, but generally a balanced overdrive that gets a good gritty sound. Not a ton of gain, but enough to drive the front-end of the amp.

Solidly built. Does everything a flanger should, almost.(no Manual knob). Regen is sensitive to incoming volume. With width dialed back and regen dimed can produce ring-mod type sounds. Sounds best BETWEEN distortions. Otherwise grabs hold of incoming noise and overpowers it. Excellent.

Thanks, saw a few of those but not all. They seem to be under the radar, vintage analog US made pedals that sound great. Footswitch set up on the performer seems misguided but it works. These may both go on my board if I can find a way to power the flanger without spenind 10$ on batteries. They sound incredible. will at least do soundclips if not a video demo

Yup both of these have that on the back. The same one. It sounds sooo cool. Not sure if I can power it though for gigs..

Sorry for the completely SHIT demo. Didn't think about what I would play so its all made up on the spot in a live take. Also was on neck pup, so drive doessn't sound quite as good as it does with a bridge humbucker. And it has the typical shitty mic demo electric guitar strum sound... anyway:
