DOD FX75C Stereo Flanger
User Manual
What the FX75C Stereo Flanger Does
The FX75C splits your guitar signal, adds a short delay to one of the signals, and then changes the delay time at an even rate. This results in a slight fluctuation in pitch of the delayed signal. The FX75C then adds a "whooshing up, and down" sound to your guitar by incorporating regeneration into the delayed signal.
Connecting The FX75C
Connect your guitar to the input of the FX75C. Connect the output of the FX75C to the input of your amplifier (or to the input of another effect device you may be running). For stereo sound, connect the Stereo output to the input of a second amplifier. To eliminate the need for a 9 volt battery, connect the PS200R to the AC power jack on the FX75C.

Operation of the FX75C

Important Notes
- The FX75C battery is in use whenever you are plugged into the INPUT jack. To extend the life of the battery, be sure to disconnect the input when the FX75C is not in use.
- Remove the battery when the FX75C will not be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent possible damage due to leaking battery fluids.
- Battery replacement is indicated when the FX75C fails to switch in and out, or when the LED stays lit.
- Keeping the battery in the FX75C while using an AC adapter will provide continuous operation in the event of a power failure.
- Use of any power adapter other than the PS200R will void the warranty of this product.
- No user serviceable parts inside. Removal of the bottom plate will void the warranty of this product. Should your FX75C require servicing, contact your authorized DOD dealer for return/repair information.
