Digitech DOD-CARCOSA Carcosa Analog Fuzz Pedal

The DigiTech DOD Carcosa Analog Fuzz Pedal 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 desiccated 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 set the stage for fuzzy madness. The DOD Carcosa Fuzz has an exaggerated mid-range and treble character that helps it stand out in a mix. It has been designed to cut through a dense and heavy band but still has great note articulation with chords. However, when extreme bias (AFTER) ranges are selected many wild and over-the-top sounds are possible.
A Modern Classic
The Carcosa Fuzz may have been born out of ’70s-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.
Wide Range of Silicon Fuzz Tones
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 or Hali Mode Makes it Very Versatile
Demhe or 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 a definition for solos, the Hali mode has you covered. The doorway into an alternate fuzz universe, where classic tones of legend coexist with splattered and shattered Pollock abstractions.
Before Control
Increases or Decreases the amount of fuzz.
Output Control
Increases or Decreases the overall output level, there are a lot of levels 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 or 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 amount 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 boost settings or stage levels will also require high-frequency adjustment.
