DOD Carcosa Fuzz // Dirty overdrive, dirty dirty fuzz

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

Came for the pedal, stayed for the riffs! This thing is like a multi-dimensional Big Muff. So good!

[@BartSoundsGood]

Nice demo. I have a quick demo of this pedal too, with some more single bass notes and crazy tones.

[@sanervoice-over2731]

this is the most unique dirt pedal i ever played. there are so many different tones possible - from light driven to full on monster fuzz. i have a ts in front - i really don´t look for dirt pedals anymore. buy or die.

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Fully agree, I happen to use ts(plumes which is a ts basically) after the carcosa, I have a pedalboard video on a channel. Also satisfied with result

[@Forests0fFantasy]

I love mine. I definitely think it's a pedal that flies under the radar, especially when you use it as an overdrive

[@JonDoe-wb1qo]

I watched a few demos of this pedal prior to here, this one sealed the deal for me..I'm buying one tomorrow ! Great review...and the tartan blanket background works so well ! Nice guitar playing too !

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Thx, I hope you will enjoy this pedal and it will serve you well in your music 👍

[@mikeh892]

Dude, excellent demo and explanation. I have an old FZ1S with the gating thing. Sounds amazing on bass though, so I refuse to fix it. lol Gotta get ahold of one of these.

[@jordantaylor1988]

Cool review. It wouldn't hurt to mention your guitar and amp set up at the beginning of the video. Rock on!

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

I'm usually adding this info in a description, but forgot to do it for this video, thanks for reminding, added in description!

[@MackTheKnifeSlowly]

It sounds good into Orange amps (muffled/bassy) IME. Seems to get bassier w the master on full. I like to set the left-side (Before & After) dials in opposite directions - ex. 3pm over 9am. Its a fun gated fuzz but can be fickle w other pedals etc.

[@UltraV13]

I was looking for a proper demo like this to hear the note definition with various bias settings: this is by far the best I've found to show the articulation possible and that it doesn't just mush everything together like other fuzz' I've tried once they get a little sputtery, along with Ryan's vod detailing the versatility with other sounds available: I think I'm going to have to buy it; but I gotta change that blue led immediately and while I've got it apart... ;D

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Whats wrong with blue led? Like eco issue?

[@UltraV13]

@@uncledimitarsguitarpedals firstly I don't like getting blinded by a tiny floodlight beaming into my face, and I don't think blue really fits the pedal's aesthetic; I think a yellow or orange or maybe red like a spooky raven's eye would look better

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Yeah, yellow will be much better fitting pedal's colors

[@joethompson2910]

Some people think turning the high filter clockwise increases high freq content... buts actually it's the opposite... as it's turned clockwise it filters more high end... just sayin..

[@domvalhalla7771]

Like a vox tone knob?

[@filipkostovski873]

Hey man, thanks for the video. Are you playing humbuckers? I can order this from abroad online and I'm kind of worried about the high end since my set up is kind of bright already. Can the Hi cut handle shrillness well? Does it have a more subtle effect or can it really cut that high end ? Thanks.

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

I'm was using humbacker with 14.2 kOhm I guess the high cut will do the job Don't understand what is meant by subtle cut effect, I guess if you want to cut subtle it's like having value near noon so it doesn't cut much?

[@filipkostovski873]

Hey, thanks for the reply. just meant whether the hi cut has a drastic effect on the sound or does it only change the tone a little. @@uncledimitarsguitarpedals

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

@@filipkostovski873 I'd say the hi cut effect is drastic enough

[@hadeseye2297]

I have that little fkr. Works well with Boss Katana. Amazingly not so well with valve Blackstar head. Lol.

[@ukaszsoczowka3961]

I bought one used. one thing worries me. When turning the After knob when not playing, you can hear a rustling sound in the speakers. Is this normal?

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

It's not, maybe the potentiometer has oxidized, I can suggest replacing this potentiometer with a new one

[@crammojophilter]

It's normal. The After control is a bias control that changes the voltage of the Q2 transistor in real time, this will always cause noise.

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Yeah, you are correct)

[@julian4672]

I have this same issue. I think it only exists on this specific pedal.

[@guerrillaradio9953]

I completely understand about only playing in shitholes. Half the places I play, I have to bring my own generator because they don't even have electricity, and mine is really old and shitty, lol.

[@Doomlord777]

I just bought a used one and the before knob cuts out on full..is this normal? I've owned a carcosa before and don't recall my other one doing this.

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

No, this is some kind of issue, that is not it's normal behavior

[@AlexanderSupertramp1]

3:28 hey mate can you tell me what song that riff is from?

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Hey. This is from one of my all time favorite bands Kryptograf - The Veil Whole 2020 album is a blast!

[@AlexanderSupertramp1]

thanks man :D im sitting here with my carcosa figuring out the riff right now @@uncledimitarsguitarpedals

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

@@AlexanderSupertramp1 right on! That's a very satisfying riff to play and chill to))

[@leon_kac]

Hi, this is perfect demo. I’ve just bought Carcosa and wonder if it is normal that After set at 1 o’clock and more starts to, let’s say, oscillate or even fade out?

[@uncledimitarsguitarpedals]

Yeah, this is bias control, it',s always doing that when getting closer towards max

[@leon_kac]

Thank you! The pedal is stunning but I thought mine is broken☺️
