A great jumping off point into the vast land of fuzz.

I have several fuzz pedals, a few almost 3x the price of the Carcosa and it hangs right in there with them all. Very simple to dial in usable tones and can get kind of reckless sounding too. My rig has 10" speakers which can be temperamental with some fuzzes. The Carcosa has the flexibility within the controls to be dialed in exactly where I want it. Also it can double as a overdrive… read more pedal which I can't say about most fuzz circuits.

Stop sleeping on this.

Just stop. Look at it. Put it in your cart. Click checkout. It goes from vintage fuzz tones to a nice almost overdrive like tone all the way up to straight doom. You want a fantastic doom pedal? This does it. You want a spooky but not quite satanic looking drive that's based in old literature for your Sunday worship? This does it. It's an all in one bos really. Plus banding the… read more after gives you game boy sound so I mean who wouldn't want that.

A very truly inspiring fuzz with just four knobs to get creative.

The DOD Carcosa is certainly a fuzz that can add just enough grit and sludge to your guitar signal while also giving one access to experimetal sputtery, squealing heaven ...or hell as the pedal's cool and creepy artwork might suggest. It's interesting that you can get quite rhythmic with it, and has a creamy warm sound when set up more or less conservatively "the after knob rolled… read more way back". It is also loud and quite present, very mid range pedal. The plethora of experimental sounds that are available, and believe me you can really get creative with this little gadget, are mostly attributed to the After knob and it's interaction with the other knobs. This is where this pedal shines and is set apart from most other fuzz pedals. I would prefer this pedal over the fuzz factory which I find hard to control. Sure the latter is a very experimental fuzz but the Carcosa offers way more control without losing your ability to experiment if that is what you desire. This is truly a nice little treasure to own. I actually made a video on it

Nice pedal!

This can go anywhere in the vintage realm of fuzz sounds. Sounds good into a clean amp or through a dirty amp or OD pedal (thats actually driving the amp ex level at 2oclock and gain around 12, with low and high frequencies not all midrange). This fuzz can drive your amp too and then still dial in a good fuzz sound. its had good reviews and some bad comparisons where people dont… read more really dial it in, but it can be dialed to get really low muffy or crystally and can do the dying battery sound as well if wanted.
