It also\nworks great with PAF-style humbuckers, but this fuzz was designed with brighter\nguitars and bright, clean amps in mind. Starting with a beloved single-knob\n‘70’s fuzz circuit, DigiTech experimented with adding a subtle tone control\n(Luster), and then a separate gain control (Fuzz). This yielded a simple yet\npowerful fuzz with an earthy, dark flavor. Straight-up transistor clipping\nusing a pair of 2N2222 transistors allows guitar volume knob clean-up similar\nto other classic fuzzes, but the Chthonic comes from a different dimension.\nThink of it as a kind of classic fuzz from an alternate universe. The\nChthonic’s Kraken and Cthulhu graphics are courtesy of the same artist that did\nthe Carcosa Fuzz art. The Chthonic is a psychotic dizygotic dark companion to\nthe Carcosa Fuzz that takes its place in the pantheon of the underworld.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlacement of the DOD Chthonic Fuzz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cthonic Fuzz is designed to be first in the chain. This will allow it to\ninteract with the guitar pickups and volume control. Rolling off the guitar\nvolume just a tiny bit will yield the best results, and rolling it back to 7 or\n8 will allow the Chthonic to clean up to a nice overdrive. Rolling the guitar\nvolume to 5 will yield sparkling clean tones. This sensitivity also makes the\nChthonic react to the capacitance of longer cables, so try to keep the cable to\nthe input to the Chthonic as short as possible. Also, avoid having any pedals\nbefore the Chthonic as the buffer will affect the tone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSetup of the DOD Chthonic Fuzz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStart with all the controls at 12:00, their midpoint. Then adjust to taste. If\nthe result is too extreme, then turn the Fuzz and Lustre controls down to a\nlower setting. All settings will be heavily dependent on the output level of\nyour instrument, your amplifier, and your playing style.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOther Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFuzz control is used to control the intensity of the fuzz. Turn left for less\nfuzz, and right for more. Output control is used to set the output level of the\npedal. Luster control allows the player to turn down high frequencies after the\nmain distortion stages of the pedal. Press the footswitch to turn the effect on\nor off. The LED power indicator lights up when the pedal is on. Connect your\ninstrument or the output of another effect pedal to the input connector.\nConnect the output connector to the input of your amplifier or your other\neffects. The pedal has a darker fuzz designed for brighter guitars and amps.\nSubtle tone control retains pick attack throughout the entire range. It offers\nexcellent clean-up with the guitar volume knob.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KMC MUSIC, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51472667574566,"sku":"DOD-CHTHONIC","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/9803\/0886\/files\/3416576.jpg?v=1758880414","url":"https:\/\/www.focusproaudio.com\/products\/digitech-dod-chthonic-pedals-effects-pedalboards-distortion-overdrive-boost-fuzz-pedals","provider":"Focus Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
