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.
The Carcosa Fuzz may have been born out of ’70’s era fuzzes, but it has become a modern classic. The wide-ranging and interactive controls along with the visage of the King in Yellow will keep you exploring all the nooks and crannies of lost Carcosa.
The wide range of usable gain with the Before control, and the powerful biasing of the After control allow it to fit into a wide range of musical styles and applications. The Carcosa has a bright character, but the Hi-Cut keeps it under control.
Demhe/Hali mode allows the Carcosa to blend well with dirty or clean amp channels. It can also be used as a bright dirty boost that can get into treble booster territory. If you are running a hot amp and need definition for solos, the Hali mode has you covered.
