DOD is pushing the analog delay pedal into new territory with the DRAG, a compact powerhouse that leans hard into a street-racing theme while delivering genuinely new sonic tricks. Built around a fully analog BBD engine with up to 750ms of delay time, DRAG covers everything from tight rockabilly slapback to sprawling, LFO-soaked psychedelic oscillation, all controlled through six rotary knobs: Time, Feedback, Filter, Level, Drift, and Friction.
What sets DRAG apart are its patent-pending Friction modes, engaged by holding the footswitch down to bring the signal to a screeching halt and letting it reaccelerate as you release, mimicking the rush of a drifting street racer. SlideStop and Evade are both new to DRAG, offering shallow and deep slide behavior alongside HopStop and Slide-n-Go variations, while the third mode, Rubberneck, borrows from DRAG’s bigger sibling with octave-up and octave-down pitch bending.
The Friction knob governs how fast these maneuvers happen, while the Drift knob shapes the speed and depth of the modulation itself. Four Curve waveform options, sine, reverse saw, square, and random, along with three speed and depth ranges, give players plenty of room to dial in their own modulation style.
DOD also included some practical touches to round out the package. A reversible, patent-pending StagePlate offers both a skid pad side and a hook-and-loop side for secure pedalboard mounting, and the pedal ships with a Mechanic’s Toolkit for quick tone tweaks and emergency fixes on the fly.
A 3.5mm jack unlocks DRAG’s full functionality when paired with the optional FS3X footswitch, and players get both true bypass and tails-on modes for flexible signal handling. The all-new top-jack chassis keeps cabling tidy on crowded boards, and power comes via a standard 9V DC tip-negative barrel jack.
