DOD is dod or dee oh dee?

What's Hot
EricTheWearyEricTheWeary Frets: 16423
in FX
Watched a YouTube review of the DOD phasor and the reviewer said it was the new pedal from Dee Oh Dee. I would have just said Dod. And that phasor (sic) would look good next to my tuck delay pedal and the Bee Oh Ess Ess tuner.
Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    DOD originally stood for David Oreste Di Francesco

    apparently. 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Dee-Oh-Dee as it's in capitals, if it was lowercase then dod would work.

    Dod, as in dodge, doddering, and Ken.  

    I know it's wrong, but I don't care. :D
    -- Before you ask, no, I am in no way, shape or form related to Fuzzdog pedals, I was Fuzzdog before Fuzzdog were Fuzzdog.  Unless you want to give me free crap, then I'm related to whatever the hell you like! --

    Is this why they phased them out and rebranded the new line as Digitech?

    Ok, when you see Boss, Korg etc written in a magazine review it's as per a name, IE capitol then lower case, with DOD it's capitols all the way.

    Ok, how about Z Vex?

    I was in a shop in Denmark street on Tuesday and the guy behind the counter said "Zed Vex" which just sounded wrong to me.

    Depends. If I'm talking about my digidelay it's pronounced to sound like "greedy battery eater".

    For my Bad Monkey it's " b-a-r-g-a-i-n".

    Department of Defense notwithstanding, it's still "Dod" - like every other acronym you can easily pronounce: COBRA, CAGED, TARDIS et al.
