DOD Chthonic Fuzz
Dod · pedal
The DOD Chthonic is an analogue fuzz built on a classic single-knob 1970s fuzz circuit, expanded with a separate Fuzz gain control, a Lustre tone control and a global Output level. Its voice is fat, corpulent and sludgy -- an earthy, dark fuzz with a heavy low end rather than a bright, spitting one -- and the Lustre control rolls off high frequencies after the main distortion stages, keeping pick attack intact across its whole range instead of smothering it. It cleans up unusually well from the guitar's volume knob: back to 7 or 8 gives a workable overdrive, and around 5 it returns near-sparkling clean tones. It shares its control layout with the DOD Carcosa but is voiced considerably darker and thicker, suiting doom, stoner and sludge players.
