DOD Carcosa Analog Fuzz Pedal
Brand new!
The DOD Carcosa Fuzz is a doorway into an alternate fuzz universe, where classic tones of legend coexist with splattered and shattered Pollock abstractions. Combining the Carcosa’s wide-ranging AFTER bias control with two toggle positions creates tones that range from porcine fatness to dessicated shards. This versatility makes the Carcosa Fuzz a good companion for dirty or clean amps. True bypass, tons of output, and the visage of the King in Yellow sets the stage for fuzzy madness. The DOD Carcosa Fuzz has an exaggerated mid-range and treble character that help it stand out in a mix. It has been designed to cut through a dense and heavy band but still have great note articulation with chords. However, when extreme bias (AFTER) ranges are selected many wild and over-the-top sounds are possible.

- Before Control: Increased/Decreased the amount of fuzz.
- Output Control: Increased/Decreased the overall output level, there is a lot of level here so this can be used as a boost.
- After Control: Bias Control changes the texture of the fuzz. Counter-clockwise attains loud "woody" fuzz tones that clean up with the guitar volume knob, and full clockwise attains splatty "broken" fuzz tones and "horn-like" vowel sounds and sustain. Middle-ranges go from familiar classic to more modern "wall-of-sound" fuzz voicings.
- DEMHE/HALI Switch: Use the DEMHE voicing (Up Toggle Position) for a bass and low-mid boost which works great for clean channel usage. Use the HALI voicing (Down Toggle Position) for a bass cut that works great for dirty channel usage.
- Hi-Cut Control: Reduces the amound of high-frequency detail. Start at the 9:00 position and adjust counter-clockwise for brighter pickups, and clockwise for darker pickups. Don't be afraid to use the extreme ranges of this control since changes to the AFTER bias control also change the tone of the fuzz. You may find higher volume or stage levels will also require high-frequency adjustment.
