DOD has unveiled or should that be unleashed the Chthonic Fuzz, a dark-sounding silicon fuzz pedal that is designed to get the most out of electric guitars with low-output pickups, but also to to pair nicely with the PAF-alike humbucker in your life.
The project started as all good projects do, with experimentation. The DOD R&D team started out with a single-knob fuzz from the ‘70s and took it from there. The final result is a circuit built around a pair of 2N2222 silicon transistors that respond nicely to your picking dynamics and guitar’s volume control.
