The DOD FX80B, built in the USA from the mid-80s into the 90s, is a no-nonsense compressor that became a quiet classic. Known for its rugged enclosure and bright finish, it delivers smooth, transparent sustain without smothering your tone. Early units offered an Attack control, later changed to Release, giving players extra flexibility over dynamics. Inside, it runs on an OTA circuit (CA3094 or CA3080, depending on version), producing a character somewhere between a Dynacomp and Boss CS-2 but with a bit more clarity. Quirky power jacks and non-true bypass aside, the FX80B remains a reliable, affordable choice for anyone chasing vintage compression with personality.
