The only FUZZ I ever HATED - & a pile of Affordable fuzzes (under $150) I actually really like

In the long history of my search for the ideal fuzz pedal I've discovered that I like pretty much every fuzz in existence, EXCEPT ONE! In this video I revisit the cursed 'Flashback Fuzz' by DOD. I actually bought a new one just to show how bad it is.

It’s not a traditional transistor based fuzz. It’s a re-voiced FX69 grunge pedal circuit. You can see the pc board is still stamped FX69.

[@markhammer643]

Many of the distortions in the FX5x/6x series are essentially the same hard-clipping circuit with variations in how much gain is applied and various selective boosts before and/or after the clipping section. In the case of the FX66 there is a resonant boost before the clipping, which gives it that annoying nasal tone. Hard to see in this pic, because of how things are bent - mirosol.kapsi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DOD-FX66-FlashbackFuzz-guts.jpg - but there should be a C6 connected to pin 6 of the chip, and a C7, connected to C6. C7, in turn is connected to a transistor The schematic says C6 is .05uf and C7 is .056uf, but the actual values might be a little different than the pic. These caps set the resonant frequency of that pre-boost. If you disconnect the end of C7 that connects to the transistor, and reconnect it to pin 6 of the chip, the resonant boost is cancelled, and you end up with a gain of around 19x, and a low-end rolloff around 125hz, for that pre-boost stage. So, reasonable bass end and no resonant honk.

He has his heart set on a Surfy bear now.

[@maxmcmillan99]

I see that Mark Hammer and Theo Lang covered how to remove the cocked wah sound. I couldn't possibly contribute more than they could; but, I will point out that the schematic shares quite a bit in common with the Metal Zone: OP amp gain stages, diode clipping, and gyrators for a big mid-boost. Thanks for making the video, Ryan!

[@pacathomas]

That sounds like it has a rectifier-type inverting circuit or some other topology that flips the negative phase of the waveform; in other words, an Octave fuzz. The nasal sound may be a bandpass filter that, no matter where you position the tone knob, the shape of the filter curve remains a fixed bell shape.

[@willdelgado3723]

I recently purchased a twinote ppi fuzz based on one of your reviews. great sounding fuzz for $27 . 👍

[@alankelly1001]

The DOD Carcossa is definitely my favourite fuzz (first in line on my pedal board). When using really nasal fuzzes (not the Carcossa), I like to stack them before an EHX Bass Big Muff with the switch in "dry" mode... mix in that Muff-y goodness, it really fattens things up giving a massive wall of fuzz.

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

oh, Ryan. Shame. There is a place in the world for every fuzz. We need to be a little more fuzz friendly. 😜

@@avgmaster1 it sounds straight out of some of the old saint vitus albums. Certainly not the best sound but i wouldn't mind having one around to get that sound

[@iwannabeyourshirt]

I'm not a fan of a lot of fuzzes, but I sorta like this one. At one point, you definitely dialed in a good "Money for Nothin'" tone. Pretty much a '73 Ram's Head, the op-amp muff/Pumpkins Muff, and this one do it for me.

[@ViviSectia]

I actually like a few of the sounds you managed to get out of it but it probably needs to be stacked with another pedal to really make it shine. Also, it might sound better if you mess with the volume control on your guitar.

[@m0j0b0ne]

I can tell you from experience, it does not clean up or do much of anything useful with the volume knob.

[@SfordRog]

DOD Carcosa is my favorite fuzz (in my collection). It's followed closely by the MXR Super Badass Variac & the Keeley Fuzzbender. All 3 are very tweakable and stack well with other pedals and can be had right around $100 for demo/slightly used condition.

[@MalcolmO]

When you first let us hear the Flashback, I thought, "Yeah, that's pretty dreadful." However, the longer you compared it to other fuzzes, the more I started to like it! I was surprised at this. That said, my favourite fuzz is still the Cuvave.

[@eljoel89]

FX 69 up the side of the board on the right side indicates this is some kind of version of the DOD Grunge pedal. Not sure what the difference between them is, but that's the first thing I noticed. Found a blog post that says they dropped six components off the board, and changed all the part values to get the different sound. mirosol.kapsi.fi/2013/10/dod-fx66-flashback-fuzz/

[@natercakes13]

I had one of these for a long time. The only way I liked the way it sounded was running into an overdrive pedal. It mellows out the hissy quality and makes it less brittle sounding. I’d be interested to see what you think of that sound.

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

The main reason I continue to be a loyal subscriber to your channel, Ryan, is that you really know your gear. Now, with that said, I don't hate the sound of the DOD Flashback Fuzz, but I don't necessarily like it either. It has some okay sounds, but most times it sounds like it's being funneled through a mic with cupped hands. It's more of a hobbyist's pedal, meaning a mod-job to get it to sound better. The best fuzz pedal of all, in my humble opinion, was the Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz. That bad boy reminds me a lot of the Vox Super Fuzz from the early 70's that people like Pete Townshend of The Who and the original guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hillel Slovak, used. And I cannot believe how cheap it is at $28 on Musician's Friend. I'm definitely going to buy one soon. Keep up the great gear showcases you do, Ryan. You're definitely helpful. By the way, what's the name of your Surf band, and where can I hear some of the music? Do you ever post it on KZbin or anywhere else?

[@60CycleHumcast]

Thanks! My band is called Dinosaur Ghost.

[@Screwhead]

That first tone when you started playing reminds me of MY most hated pedal, the Ibanez Cyberdrive. It sounds like an overdrive, but instead of a standard Tone knob, it's like a Wah circuit that you can set the cocked angle of the pedal. I was GOING to return it, but the next day I got a Digitech RP2000 and got lost in that for longer than the return period at the store, so... It's just been sitting there..

[@fortheloveofnoise]

I love the sound of it. Makes me wish I could play guitar. I guess I could try one with a synth.

[@hellsq]

Lol, SF300 just arrived to me 3 days ago. Bought it for my new band, Cramps-influenced dirty psychobilly. SF300 with my gretsch can easily bring me Poison Ivy style fuzz sound. Great pedal, I really love "fuzz 2" mode on it. Thank you for information about "secret mode", I will try to find it tomorrow.

[@altoid8450]

I'd like to see you check out the DOD Boneshaker if you haven't already. Came out in the same line with the Carcosa. I dig it. It's a heavy distortion/fuzz. Tons of knobs and stacked pots to play with.

[@DJKr15py]

I feel like it would actually sound good with with super low tuning (like at least Drop B). Can we get a baritone fuzz demo?

[@stevenhirsekorn3444]

I really like that dod flashback, it sounds to me like it wants to be fed into an amp with more distortion

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

Have you tried putting it in the effects loop of an amp? Post pre-amp, but before the power section basically. I know the Metal Zone sounds a lot better that way.

[@sassycat]

That opening chord sounded like a very trebley version of Boston's "Rock and Roll Band". Cocked Wah count: 8

[@CraigDeubler]

That first chord alone gave me tinnitus ..... Having said that, awesome to have a comparison between the Carcosa and JHS3 Fuzz.

[@mattfleming2287]

Every fuzz is beautiful. That’s very much a distortion pedal. If it didn’t say fuzz on it you’d never think it was fuzz. That would work in a lot of contexts like doom or death metal. Totally depends on how you set it and how your amp is set. You’re a surf dude. You don’t grok the metals. I’d bet if you put that in a heavy band setting it might work perfectly. You really can’t judge a pedal or amp without playing it in a band setting. I use the Behringer FZ300 as a boost. And thanks to you, I picked up the Cuvave Gig Reverb-amazing pedal which I’m using completely wrong. I have it in the loop of my amp, with all controls at 0 and it acts like a boost and fattens the sound just so. Thanks, dude!

[@bartvschuylenburg]

Did you feed it 10 volt? Some DOD pedals work with 9 volt but were meant for 10 volt. I had that problem with a dod chorus that didn’t have enough headroom on 9 volt and clipped a bit.

[@FromWitchSide]

lowering voltage can actually help in case of Flashback, it is just that bad really :P

[@TheAtariCreep]

I got on when they first came out. I was so excited to get it home. The damed thing looked cool AF, love that blue/green swirl. Then I plugged it in. .....sigh. I kept trying it over and over to see if maybe this time it will be useful to nothing but failure. LOL I did find it made a decent "boost" deal but still not worth it at all.

[@drzontar]

Ryan, my favorite fuzzes will always be the Boss FZ-2, the Foxx Tone Machine, and the Zoom UF-01 ("the poor man's Fuzz Factory"). But I do find uses for my DOD Flashback. Sometimes that cocked wah sound is just what a lead needs to fit in a mix. And try running the Flashback into a Grunge pedal for an insane swamp of doom/sludge tone (keep the volume down or the feedback could get nasty).

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It has a bandpass filter in it somewhere.I am sure it can be removed, tweaked., or modded to a wider arc.
