Create fat and sludgy fuzz tones with the Chthonic Fuzz from DOD, a special fuzz pedal with a dark character ideal for use with bright amps and guitar pickups such as single-coil, P90, gold-foil, and DeArmond pickups. With subtle tone control via the Lustre knob, you can reduce high frequencies in the fuzz while retaining picking attack.Along with Lustre, you get a Fuzz knob, which acts as a gain control for the clipping circuit, allowing you to adjust the fuzz intensity, and an Output knob for controlling the overall output level of the pedal. While delivering an unusual and extradimensional fuzz tone, Chthonic Fuzz works much like classic fuzzes of the past, cleaning up considerably as you reduce the volume knob on your guitar body. And with a durable metal chassis adorned with stylish Kraken and Cthulhu graphics, Chthonic Fuzz will survive the test of time and stand out on your pedalboard.Simple, Powerful, and Otherworldy Starting with a beloved single-knob '70s fuzz circuit, DOD experimented with adding a subtle tone control (Lustre), and then a separate gain control (Fuzz). This yielded a simple yet powerful fuzz with an earthy, dark flavor. Transistor clipping using a pair of 2N2222 transistors allows guitar volume knob cleanup similar to other classic fuzzes, but the Chthonic comes from a different dimension. Placement in Your Signal Chain The Cthonic Fuzz is designed to be first in the chain. This will allow it to interact with the guitar pickups and volume control. Rolling of the guitar volume just a tiny bit will yield the best results, and rolling it back to 7 or 8 will allow the Chthonic to clean-up to a nice overdrive.Rolling the guitar volume to 5 will yield sparkling clean tones. Chthonic reacts to the capacitance of longer cables, so you will gain benefits by using a shorter connecting cable to the input.
