DOD Electronics

DOD Electronics, or simply DOD, is a Cort Guitars company that makes guitar effects pedals, many of which are now discontinued. Additionally, the company has made active crossover gear. History DOD originally stood for David Oreste DiFrancesco, who founded the company in 1973 with business partner and musician John Johnson. David was the original engineer who, with his business partner John, later sold the company to Harman International in 1990-'91. David now runs a company called Rolls Corporation. Over DOD's 40-year history, the company introduced many pedal lines and early multi-effect devices, like the "944 Chain-Reaction" and digital delays like the now sought-after PDS series. The '70s and early '80s 200, 400 and 600 series of stompboxes have become very collectable. '70s gray "DOD Overdrive Preamp/250"s with LM741 op-amps fetch premium prices with collectors, with the yellow early '80s 250s not far behind. Later '90s DOD pedals have also become collectors items like the "Gonkulator", "Grind", "Buzz Box", "Meat Box", "Vibro Thang", and "Big Pig Fat" Distortion.
