The Carcosa is rooted firmly in the fuzz boom of the 70s. It's got a silicon circuit which gives you great mid-range clarity and attack but the 'After' bias control allows you to toggle between tame, pokey fuzz tones and all out wild sounds. From Black Sabbath and beyond!
Two Modes
With the toggle switch you can optimise the pedal for a dirty amp or a clean amp. The Hali mode is for dirty amps which will only apply a light, but tight sounding fuzz. The Demhe mode has been enhanced for clean amps with a low-end and mid-range bump.
Here's what DOD say about the Carcosa
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.
