FX91 Bass Overdrive
FX91 Bass Overdrive (2000), with original box
The FX91 Bass Overdrive was introduced at Winter NAMM 1998. Sharing the same basic circuit as the also-new FX102 Mystic Blues Overdrive, the FX91 Bass Overdrive was voiced as an overdrive for bass guitar. The FX91 appeared to directly succeed the FX92 Bass Grunge in DOD's lineup, and the text and content in its instruction manual was also partially derived from the FX92's manual. The FX91 sold well enough to be retained when production shifted to China with the VFX series.
- Controls: Level, Blend, Tone (high EQ), Drive
- From the manual: "The FX91 Bass Overdrive is a distortion box designed for bass guitar that allows you to mix distorted bass with your original sound. It gives you thunderous low-end power while retaining the punch you need to cut through even loudest band [sic]. You could use a normal guitar distortion box, but not only do they not have the bottom-end punch you need, but they'll even roll off the low end, giving it a whimpy 'squished' sound."
- MSRP (1998): $119.95
