Carcosa Fuzz

Boutique Overdrive

The Carcosa Fuzz is a boutique overdrive pedal from DOD Electronics that’ll blow the house down no matter what amp you’re using. This pedal can go from light fuzz to pure sonic dread without skipping a beat.
Think Black Sabbath in a box, and you won’t be far off!

Two Fantastic Modes

There are two modes to the Carcosa Fuzz: Demhe and Hali.
Demhe mode boosts the low-mid frequencies, for a nice, thick distortion sound, while the Hali mode is a little lighter, boosting the higher notes for a slightly cleaner sound. Combined with a before, an after, and a high cut knob, the manufacturers have made sure that this pedal can give you the same sound through almost any amp you care to play it through.

Who should buy the Carcosa Fuzz?

This pedal is a great pick for those guitarists who want to walk that line between rock and metal. At its heaviest, it can grind out fuzz with the best of them, while still being able to pull back to a nice, clean mid-range.
It’s also a good find for second-hand collectors, as DOD Electronics often discontinue their pedals after just a few years, and there’s a good chance it may one day appreciate in value.
That being said, while this pedal can certainly do what it does on just about any amp, it’s not a traditional overdrive sound. Put simply, if you’re looking for a general-purpose effect, then a boutique overdrive is probably not the right pedal to go with.

But why take our word for it, when you can try it out for yourself? Here on Tonepedia, you can put it head to head with other pedals like the Electro Harmonix Glove, or the Acapulco Gold, to see which is right for you!
