The actual description starts after the shipping info. And I'm starting the info here with a TIP about how to TAKE OFF / PUT ON the Battery Cover. This type of DOD battery cover is notorious for the tab breaking. Right now the tab is fine:

• NOTE / TIP : I highly recommend that you take the bottom plate off when you want to take off the battery cover. It's tricky to take off. And when you put the battery cover back on - with the bottom plate off or with the bottom plate not all the way screwed down - do the following: put on - or have the bottom plate on - but not screwed all the way down. And then place the battey cover on and then tighten the screws for the bottom plate.

Up for grabs is a used naturally reliced from player's wear vintage DOD FX35 Octoplus Octave effect pedal for guitar or bass. ANALOG. From the mid to late 1980s, USA.

• The FX35 creates a note one octave below the note played into it. Sounding like a guitar and bass guitar player together. It lets you play single note bass lines with a guitar or get more punch, more body in the low end from your guitar by combining the guitar note with the created lower note.
  
• The DOD FX35 Octoplus pedal creates a tone one octave below the signal input and it works super on both guitar and bass. The Octoplus was made from 1986 to 1994 and this FX 35 is from the original run of this pedal in 1986.

Comes with a lightly used Truetone 1 Spot NW1-US, 9V 1700 mA adapter with a new open pacakge Truetone 1 SPOT (C35) 3.5mm converter, and 9v battery. Plus I'm going to include an extra battery clip (in case the orignal one breaks or gets damaged - thi sis because the original battery clip has an unusual design -- SEE close up picture # 9 - you can also see the battery clip in pictures # 6, # 7, and # 8).

Also --

*** I am including one new set of D'Addario EXL-110 light (gauge 10) electric guitar strings. Please let me know if you prefer D'Addario EXL-120 super light (gauge 9) strings instead of the gauge 10 strings ***

The selling price will be:

• $2 less if you do not need the battery
• $3 less if you do not need the strings
• $10 less if you do not need the adaptor
• $3 less if you do not need the Truetone (C35) 3.5mm converter
• Please make an offer with a message stating that you do not need any of these items. You can also message me if you prefer that these details be edited in listing.

Sorry NO box / NO paperwork.

This pedal and the adaptor were tested and they work fine.

NOTE: Even though the adaptor is made by Truetone - when used with the Truetone (C35) 3.5mm converter:

• it is the correct one to use with this DOD pedal and it can work with other DOD pedals from the same series that have the jack for a 1/8" (3.5mm) plug end. NO other DOD pedal are part of this listing.
• And whe you use the adapter WITHOUT the Truetone C35 converter - you can use it with Boss pedals, etc. NO Boss pedals included.
• SEE close-up picture # 25 to see the label on the adaptor. Feel free to ask for more pictures of the adaptor.

It has the battery cover -- yey!!

• NOTE: I highly recommend that you take the bottom plate off when you want to take off the battery cover. It's tricky to take off. And when you put the battery cover back on - with the bottom plate off or with the bottom plate not all the way screwed down - do the following: put on - or have the bottom plate on - but not screwed all the way down. And then place the battey cover on and then tighten the screws for the bottom plate.

NO longer made. Great for collectors and / or for someone looking to buy this pedal to use.  Also great to give to someone as a gift!! 

All original.

Going by REVERB's condition criteria - ths pedal is in GOOD shape. Even though the exterior of the CASING has a lot of cosmetic player's wear & some aging - the pedal works fine. And the inside is very clean, the outer areas of the bottom plate & rubber piece are mostly fine, the bottom label is mostly fine, and the knobs are mostly fine.

• But going by a regular observation rating - the pedal is in FAIR cosmetic shape.
• Please refer to the many pictures that I took for the condition of the pedal.

The TRUETONE (model # NW1-US) adapter is - generally speaking - lightly used. The two big wide sides have a couple of not too light / not too deep scratches and a couple of not too light / not too deep nicks. One side of the front sides has one not too light / not too deep long hair-line scratch. The other sides (black areas) are clean. The labels have a few hair-line scratches and a few tiny nicks. The wire part is mostly fine / clean - it just has lighy bends from how it was folded. The two plug blades are fine / clean. The barrel end is fine / clean.

The Truetone 1 SPOT (C35) 3.5mm converter is fine / clean

• Feel free to ask for more pictures of the adaptor and of the 3.5mm converter.

The Octoplus features a nice-range of octave sounds that fattens up the player's tone. The Octave level allows you to adjust the amount of generated lower octave signal to the output. The Tone control boosts the bass or treble of the octave signal. Clockwise boosts the upper frequencies and counter-clockwise boosts the lower frequencies. The Direct level adjusts the level of the input signal allowed to pass through the output.

When used with guitar, the sound is similar to a guitar and a bass playing at the same time. The pedal adds a lot of punch to single picked bass lines. The Octoplus only features one octave, but this pedal does one octave very well.

The SIX chips are (three of them are the same):

• two lightening bolt symbols P8812G CD4013BCN MM5613BN
• MC14007UBCP the letter M in a circle FFAD8802
• two wavy lines SM8752 - LM324N
• MC1458CPI IQ8742H the letter M in a circle
• MC1458CPI IQ8742H the letter M in a circle
• MC1458CPI IQ8742H the letter M in a circle

NOTE:

For the pedal - the blue color looks brighter in picture # 2,because of the lighting. Most of the pictures were taken in a certin light (mostly with the camera's flash off -- to better show the imperfections.

The FX35 creates a note one octave below the note played into it. Sounding like a guitar and bass guitar player together. It lets you play single note bass lines with a guitar or get more punch, more body in the low end from your guitar by combining the guitar note with the created lower note.

the controls are:

Octave Level controls the volume of a tone one octave below the input signal

Tone controls the tone (bass/treble)

Direct level controls the volume of the uneffected input signal

The values of the three pots are the same type / same values (see picture # 10)

• E.C.I. Alpha   W100K

the jacks are: IN, OUT, and power

• NOTE: the power jack is for an adapter with an 1/8" (3.5mm) plug end, positive tip/center, and negative ground. The “tip” is positive, meaning it carries the audio signal. The “sleeve” is typically negative or ground, serving as a return path for the audio signal and reducing electrical interference.
• The label on the bottom of the pedal says: "For AC Operation. 10 a volt DC negative ground supply." So the center is positive.
• Even though it says 10 volt -- you can uese a 9 volt adapter [which is what I am including (Truetone 1 Spot Power Supply NW1-US, 9V 1700 mA) with a Truetone C35 3.5mm converter (short cable).

Effect Information

“The DOD FX35 Octoplus debuted in mid-1986. Its original circuit appears to be at least loosely based on the original Boss OC-2 Octaver schematic, with a flip-flop IC as an octave divider and four op amps in addition to the components used for the clickless FET foot switch. Unlike the Boss OC-2, the FX35 features a tone control (boosts bass or treble of the octave signal only), and only one sub-octave note is created. Like all octave dividers, the FX35 cannot track chords very well (although root-fifth power chords can sound okay, at least until one note starts to warble out), but tracking can be enhanced by using your neck pickup and/or adding a boost or compression pedal before the FX35. The FX35 was discontinued by late 1994.”

========================================

I took pictures of all sides of the pedal.  There are a few pics of areas of interest and there are some pics of the inside of the pedal. PLus there are a few pictures of the adaptor.. And the first picture shows what it comes with.  Please message me (or make an offer) if you only want to buy the pedal or if you would like to buy the pedal with certain items presented in this listing.

Feel free to ask for more pictures.  

NOTE:   There may be some imperfections that I overlooked.   There are some imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures.  Also  - some imperfections show up in the pictures that are not that visible in person.
