The DOD FX64 Ice Box is a chorus pedal that delivers lush, shimmering chorus effects. Released during the 1990s, the FX64 was part of DOD’s line of compact pedals and quickly gained a reputation for its ability to create rich, wide chorus tones. Known for its ice-like shimmer and versatility, the FX64 is ideal for guitarists looking to add depth and dimension to their sound.

Key Features:

  • Effect Type: Chorus – The FX64 adds a shimmering, modulated effect to your guitar signal, giving it a full, spatial sound. Chorus pedals like the FX64 are often used to thicken up clean tones or add richness to distorted tones.
  • Controls:
    • Speed: Controls the rate of modulation, allowing you to adjust how fast the chorus effect oscillates between the dry and wet signals. Slower speeds provide a more subtle effect, while faster speeds create a warbling, vibrato-like sound.
    • Depth: Adjusts the intensity or depth of the modulation. Higher depth settings produce a more pronounced chorus effect, while lower settings keep the effect more subtle.
    • Ice: Unique to the FX64, this control shapes the tonality of the chorus effect, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the sound. Turning it up adds a sparkling, icy quality to the effect.
    • Level: Controls the overall volume of the effect, making it easy to balance the wet and dry signals in your mix.
  • True Bypass: The FX64 features true bypass switching, meaning that when the pedal is turned off, your signal passes through without any effect, preserving your original tone.

Sound Profile:

The DOD FX64 is known for producing warm, lush chorus tones that can be as subtle or intense as needed. The Speedand Depth controls allow for a wide range of settings, from slight, almost imperceptible modulation to deep, swirling chorus effects. The Ice control is a distinctive feature of this pedal, adding a shimmering high-end that gives the chorus effect a crystalline, bright quality.

  • At lower settings, the FX64 can add a gentle, spatial thickness to your sound, ideal for clean guitar tones or adding a bit of dimension to solos.
  • At higher settings, the chorus becomes more pronounced and vibrato-like, perfect for creating lush, sweeping effects or for use in genres like shoegaze, dream pop, or even psychedelic rock.

It features a blue and white finish, matching its “Ice Box” name, and has sturdy, metal construction built to withstand regular use on stage or in the studio. The pedal is easy to use, with clear labeling for all the controls and a standard footswitch for activating the effect.

Applications:

  • Clean Tones: The FX64 excels at adding a smooth, wide texture to clean guitar tones, making it great for rhythmic playing or ambient soundscapes.
  • Lead Guitar: The rich modulation provided by the FX64 can add a sense of movement and depth to lead lines, particularly when used with distortion.
  • Bass: While primarily designed for guitar, the FX64 can also be used on bass to add a subtle chorus effect without losing low-end definition.
