DOD Chthonic Fuzz Pedal Overview
The DOD Chthonic Fuzz pedal is a blast of thick tone, designed specifically for clean amps and brighter sounding guitars. This pedal delivers a hefty, fudgy, and sludgy fuzz tone that harmonizes flawlessly with single-coil, P90, gold-foil, and DeArmond style pickups. With an emphasis on brighter guitars and clean, bright amps, the Chthonic Fuzz Pedal is derived from a single-knob 70s fuzz circuit, featuring a subtle tone control (Lustre) and a separate gain control (Fuzz) to create a powerful fuzz with an earthly, dark flavour.
The Chthonic Fuzz Pedal uses transistor clipping with a pair of 2N2222 transistors, enabling outstanding clean-up similar to other notable fuzz pedals when using the guitar volume knob. Hailing from an alternate universe, this pedal is a uniquely versatile choice that not only works wonders with PAF-style humbuckers but also stands as a dark companion to the Carcosa Fuzz. The Chthonic's Kraken/Cthulhu graphics, courtesy of the artist behind the Carcosa Fuzz artwork, further enhance its cryptic allure. In essence, the Chthonic is a darker fuzz pedal designed specifically for brighter guitars and amps that retains pick attack throughout its range while offering impeccable clean-up capabilities.

The Chthonic Fuzz Pedal is built for a specific purpose - to provide deep, dark fuzz tones that pair exceptionally well with bright-sounding guitars and clean amplifiers. This makes it an excellent choice for players who want to add some grit and thickness to their sound without sacrificing the clarity and brightness of their guitar tone.
Single coils, P90s, gold-foil, and DeArmond style pickups are ideal, and pair well with the undulating depths of the Cthonic Fuzz, as it provides unfathmoable depth and abyssal crunch to the sparkling tones.
Subtle Lustre tone control
The addition of the Lustre tone control is a key feature in the Chthonic Fuzz Pedal. This control allows players to maintain their pick attack, even at higher gain settings, providing a rich and vibrant sound that cuts through the mix without ever sounding harsh or muddy.
The subtle nature of this control also means that it doesn't drastically alter your overall tone, but rather turns down the high frequencies after the main distortion stages, smoothing out the attack and enhancing its dark sonic character.
Excellent clean-up with guitar volume knob
One of the greatest strengths of the Chthonic Fuzz Pedal is its ability to clean up beautifully when using your guitar's volume knob. This allows for a wide range of versatility in tone, from full-on fuzz mayhem to warm and clean tones with just a roll of the volume knob. The use of transistor clipping in this pedal ensures that even at lower volume settings, the tone remains clear and articulate, making it perfect for dynamic playing.
Fuzz simplicity
Alongside its subtle Lustre control, the DOD Chthonic Fuzz features two simple controls: Fuzz and Output. Fuzz affects the intensity of the effect, while output influences your levels.
But DOD have kept things even more user friendly with a lightweight, compact aluminium chassis that's more than up to life on the road, and will slot in easily to most pedalboard setups. And with a modern 9v DC connector and True Bypass switcehing, you can add in the Chthonic to your rig without any hassle at all!
