On the following pages, examples of different types of
sounds are shown, along with graphic representations of
how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds
are a subjective matter, use these examples as starting
points to create your own sounds that meet your specific
tastes, or lack thereof.
SUBTLE CHORUS
Use this setting when you need a good, standard chorus
sound. Nothing too harsh, just brilliant enough to add
extra width. Turn the COLD control to 9 O’ clock and all
other controls to 12 O’ clock.
DEEP ICE BOX
This setting is very slow and very wide with a crisp high
end. Turn the ICE all the way up, the COLD to 9 O’ clock,
and the rest of the controls all the way up. Use this setting
bright amp and play da’ upbeat. Eet’ eez’ all-so great for
da’ metal ballad cleen’ part.
PACIFIC COLD SURF VIBRATO
Do you want to shoot the Pipeline? With the recent
popularity of late 60’s surf music you can’t go without
vibrato! Surfers, turn the ICE, COLD, and DEEP controls
up. Turn the FREEZE control to 12 O’ clock. If
snowboarding is your style, keep the same phat setting
but crank the FREEZE control all the way down. It’s like
riding intermountain powder in the morning just after a sick
night storm.

OPERATION OF THE FX64
The FX64 can be operated in front of an amplifier or in an
effects loop. Since the order of effects are very important,
(DOD FX84), 2) Wah/volume and envelope filters (DOD
FX17, FX25), 3) Distortion effects (DOD FX51, FX69),
4) EQ’s (DOD FX 40), 5) chorus, flanging, phasing,
vibrato (DOD FX64, FX75, FX20, FX64), 6) Delay and
reverb effects (DOD DFX94).
To set up your own sound with the FX64, set all controls
at 12 O’ clock. Next, adjust the COLD and DEEP controls
for the desired speed and width. Then adjust the ICE
control for the desired amount of effect, and dial in the
chorus EQ by
adjusting the FREEZE control.
With the FX64 you will not have one of those mushy
CONTROLS
ICE: ICE controls the amount of chorus level when the
effect is on. Turn it down for a very subtle effect. Turn it up
for a complete wall to wall sound.
COLD: COLD controls how fast the chorus is moving. If you
like things mellow, turn it down. If you want to stir things a
little, turn it up.
DEEP: DEEP controls how far and wide the chorus
changes. Turn it down for a little change, turn it up and you
will hear just how wide your guitar sounds. CAUTION:
WHEN RUNNING IN STEREO, THE FX64 HAS THE
TENDENCY TO PUSH EQUIPMENT OFF THE STAGE IF
THE DEEP CONTROL IS NOT MONITORED CORRECTLY.
FREEZE: Controls the amount of high end EQ in the chorus
sound. If you want to freeze the chorus sound, turn the
FREEZE control up. Turn it down and the high frequencies
chorus sounds, you will get a brilliant and wide chorus
that will never let you down. Now, “don’t go freezer
burnin’ the audience.” Hand out plenty of sunscreen at
the door, and keep all food in zipping freezer bags (don’t
ruin your lunch).
disappear leaving a smooth and subtle sound.
FOOTSWITCH: Switches the effect in or out of the signal
path.
LED INDICATOR: Lights when the distortion is enabled, and
is not lit when the distortion is bypassed.
JACKS: Input, Output, Stereo Out, AC Adapter (use the
DOD PS200R power supply only to eliminate the need for a
9 volt battery).

WHAT THE FX64 DOES
The FX64 Ice Box is a specially designed chorus with a
crystal clear high end. The Ice Box has been finely tuned for
guitar to add dimension and width to your sound. Extra time
has been taken to make the correct LFO type that sounds
great at all speeds. So change your guitar’s sound from blah
and “clinky” and give it breathtaking crystal clear images.
Connect your guitar to the input of the FX64. Connect the
OUTPUT of the FX64 to your amp or the input of another
effects device. Connect the STEREO OUT to another
device or connect it to another effect device. To eliminate the
need for a 9-volt battery, attach the DOD PS200R to the AC
adapter jack.
FEATURES
• LED indicator shows the status of effect and battery
condition.
• Active switching for noiseless operation.
• Easy access battery compartment.
• Adapter jack for AC operation.
• Rugged die-cast metal case.
• Three year limited warranty.
