@@Insanabiliter_In_Linea Thanks, man! We haven't gotten around to a version of this one, but it's in a si.ilar vein. Alt Metal with Stoner, Doom, Sludge and Grunge influences. Check out Ghozer on your streaming service!
INSANE! I believe that this is the first time I subscribed to a channel based on the first video I saw. The review was very thorough and informative (best one I have ever seen for the CARCOSA) and the song is AWESOME! I want to buy the song so I can listen to it more often; hope it's available on ITunes...
Thanks, man! It's not around yet, but I'll be doing it with my band, Ghozer soon and you check out more of our stuff that's out there already if you love some heavy fuzz!
holy shit dude. That song was amazing. I LOVED IT. Loved the pedal as well, wanted to hear it in a band mix context. Thank you so much for that. Cheers.
I ran this box on my board for a long time. Sold a bunch of stuff in a purge and have wanted it back ever since. This day I found one on FB market used and I snagged it up. Nice demo showing the versatility of this indispensable tool. Subbed.
I receive my Carcosa tomorrow or in a couple of days, I can't wait. Was already set on this pedal before I discovered your video, but it one of the best pedal review I saw, very demonstrative of the knob fonctions and the tonal possibilities of this fuzz. And by the way, the song is just amazing!
Whatched it all mate awsome! Bought this pedal years ago and didnt fit in with the band sou d at the time. Anyway dug it out and put it on my board. Now understanding whats going on, the thing is great cant believe what im hearing. Cheers
quite nice. have a carcosa and have been using it for years, so just clicked the video out of curiosity. have taken a lot of inspiration and ideas from this for trying out this little dirtbox for different things going forth. nice job on the song as well!
Great demo, subscribed! I also very much appreciated the well deserved jab at Tube Screamers. The Carcosa sounds like it would be just perfect for torturing the hell out of a clean(Ish) amp in a noise rock band or something.
One of the best demos of the Carcosa, thank you so much for explaining knobs and letting us hear as you tweaked them! I have a good muff clone (with which I am very satisfied) but I am in search of a fuzz capable of silicon FF-like tones with bias/gate control. Before watching this demo I was considering the JHS Series 3 Fuzz. Now I'm completely sold for the Carcosa, which I find excellent and more versatile (and also 15€ cheaper in my country).
Tom Cram recently sent me a custom Carcosa he put together with NOS Fairchild Silicon Diodes from his personal stash, and I gotta say, it’s the most versatile fuzz I’ve ever seen. The range of sounds you can get from it is unbelievable!
This is definitely another “sleeper” pedal. I just sold my WH Swollen Pickle and picked up an EHX Hot Tubes. I ordered a Voodoo Lab Superfuzz as well. Love to see you do a series of sleeper pedals. I’ve been a Muff user since getting my Green Bubble in ‘97 for a whopping $60! Amazing work, completely brilliant. All the best!
I bought the Carcosa when it first came out. Sold it when I was broke, but I think I will buy it again. Definately has a JImmy Page vibe at low to mid drive settings. Then it gets insane as you crank it up!~
I came for the carcosa review and stayed for the banging tune. I was impressed enough to buy the hairy version (it was a third of the price). Thanks for the inspiration
it arrived yesterday, very impressive piece of kit for very little money, quality seems to be very good. Thanks again. Off topic I watched another if your videos on a heap of big muffs, what do you make of the jhs mufeletta as an alternative to a heap o muffs
I completely forgot I had commented on this video and just added a new one about a clone I got called the hairy show fuzz by Ginean (Ali express) turns out I enjoyed the song a lot both times lol. Good work man!
I'm a fuzz fiend, but I believe in balance. The Carcosa seems to generally be more "untamed" in comparison to the other pedals. It's more proud of representing fuzz in comparison ..brilliant idea of a pedal, none the less. Love it! It's my 1st time on this channel, looking forward to checking out more of your content! 🍻
Wow!!! What a great song! I loved this video, and I believe you sold me on this pedal, it sounds fantastic …but I think you could have used a number of different pedals, and I still would think the song would have been amazing. Cheers
Great demo of a great fuzz! I’ll add that the Carcosa takes boosts really well. I like it dialed in to give a sort of fuzzy distortion sound (‘before’ around 2 o’clock, ‘after’ around 9 o’clock) and hit it with a Tube Screamer. Huge, saturated lead tone. With some reverb/delay it’s a great Gilmour sound. Again, great demo. Thanks!
It's such a great pedal. If I had to sell all of my Fuzzes bar one or two, I'd seriously consider keeping the Carcosa and maybe one of my favourite Muffs, or my treasured Caroline Olympia. The Carcosa can do most everything from Overdrive, Maestro, Tonebender to Fuzzface tones, but not Big Muff. I'm curious about the new DOD Cthonic Fuzz. It seems like a companion piece to the Carcosa. I believe the "before" and "after" controls are designed to work interactively with a clean amp and a driven amp. I forget which is tailored for which.
I never listen to presenters songs for more than I get bored, around 12 seconds. I enjoyed all of the Carcosa song. Might listen to it again. Probably had a stroke.
Thanks man! 🤣 Perhaps the difference is I didn't write it just to demo, it was already a full song minus the vocals and will probably become a song for my band down the line. So it's hopefully got a bit more gusto than the equivalent of a Casio keyboard function! 🤣
The Carcosa is underrated. But they most versatile extreme fuzz is an NYC big box silver muff, with all the mods. Taking the tone stack out and using an eq pedal after - alone gives you over 80% of all muff sounds. Everything else can ve moded and put on switches, too.
I played one of these the other day. It was ridiculously wild! I just bought a Walrus Audio Eons which gives me so many sounds, but I plan on buying the Carcosa next.
I just picked up a Ginean 'Hairy Show' which appears to be made by whoever assebles DODs. I'll definitely be trying these settings as comparison. Many thanks for a great video and the track sounded huge
Another excellent video! I think this is gonna be the new pedal of mine to be obsessing about. If you would ever get out of ideas for the videos consider a series of putting different fuzz pedals on different instruments and comparing how they sound different. A video about blending distortion and overdrive would be amazing as well!
I have a lot of different pedals, but Carcosa, it is "something". I liked your accurate rewiew and the playing part, the song that you have made, it's absolutely dope. Bravo!!!!
I have two of these, got them for a good price. The manual says that the two-position toggle switch is intended to set it for a clean amp or a dirty amp. I dislike fuzzes but I love this one.
Really!? That's weird. It's a plain old bass boost (or maybe cut) so not sure what that has to do with clean and dirty! Though I guess the cut could tighten it up? 🤔 Anyway. Thanks for watching!
@@doctorfuzzzdirtbox When you are running fuzz into a dirty channel the lows can get too woofy very quickly. The Demhe/Hali switch is designed to cut the bass to reduce the bass build-up. It can be used as a tone-shaping tool as well, but that wasn't its primary purpose.
The lack of clean-up is the hard clipping array in the Carcosa. I, for one, LOVE the way diodes hard clip, but it does leave a mark on every note you play.
Thanks Solomon, it does cut through but I've got other fuzzes that cut live but don't have the fatiguing piercing high end I'm talking about, but it is definitely articulate!
I subscribed. I really appreciate videos where one pedal is set to match a number of other well-known pedals to see how close it can get. Josh Scott did this with the Bad Monkey and I think it really creates interest in a pedal if it's known that it can match a number of other pedals, or even if it can do an interesting variation. Even though the Carcosa can't quite do a Big Muff, it does an interesting variation.
Nicely made video! Here is my honest/well meaning critique: I really would have liked to hear a low E since not all of your viewers play solely that power chord stuff (probably in D, right). That low E is a benchmark so to say for many. Also SOME of us still play solos with bindings (think Sabbath etc.) and we use the full range of the neck beyond the cowboy chord area ; ) Maybe you would like to include all this in your next video. Apart from that I really enjoyed your demo. Good idea to compare it to other fuzzes this way. Rock on! …eh, I mean doom on!
Great Demo. Probably the best i've seen; you captured every aspect of this pedal really well. Learned a lot about this pedal from you. It's a really saggy fuzz. Also has a supro amp sag like a Bearfoot FX Honey Bee with less mid hum or honk. Love mine. It also imitates a Fuzzrite well but not enough to kick one off my board. The only downside is that it gets too trebly or shrill, which my wife and cats don't like. Great work dude, you're an incredibly gifted musician. Subscribed.
The only fuzz pedal I actually like. It's goes from a boost/overdrive which doesn't colour the original sound to full on break up fuzzy goodness. The option to use it on single coils or humbuckers is genius. Only down for me is a constant high pitched whine I get that's always present from mine, but a noise gate takes care of that 🙂...
All Hail Dr Fuzz and bow down to the Carcosa! Mr. Dr .. it's..strange...I know....brother you made me want to do a cover of your song 🎵 Carcosa frfr! That main riffs is viral gold my man 💪 love the tonez and the tunzezzz 😎🤘🤘🕶💯 Subbbbed ✔️
@doctorfuzzzdirtbox update to the update.....I had to buy the Immortal Carcosa! I'll be chugging out the D00M riffs when it arrives tomorrow 🕶🤘🤘🤘🎵💯✅️✅️✅️🪓 early Christmas 🎄 lol 😆 😂 I am in trouble now....
I've already sell my other ( more expensive ) fuzzes, because I realized that any of them gave me the sounds that the Carcosa does. A very, very dynamic and versatile fuzz. If you want ONE fuzz....go take it.
Good video. I used to believe that a Carcosa was a necessity for Fuzz completionists, but after this thorough video, I've decided it's pretty unnecessary if you have a variety of Fuzz already.
The Carcosa is a bit expensive where I live, and I've been looking for potential cheaper alternatives. There aren't any, there isn't any other pedal that sounds like this. Even more expensive ones. Big Muffs can do one sound well, but only that one sound. The Carcosa can do both Fuzz Face style sounds and still get close to a Muff with a huge low end. Now I decided that no other fuzz will do. I'm going to get a Carcosa, and run a RAT clone next to it. It's going to sound MASSIVE.
The Eisenhower is basically a Superfuzz/Hyper Fuzz/SF300. It's got the octave vive and the huge scoop of the tone toggle. So not really like a Carcosa at all. They're both gnarly but certainly different vibes.

Its one of the best fuzz pedals I've found it just has a frequency in the high end that cannot be taken out without another pedal.
I do think you're right. It's a very bright pedal. And frequency is very much on the attack, which can make it sound harsh in some rigs.
That's the exact frequency that cuts in a live mix though. It's not a bad sound, but by yourself it'll be annoying.
Thanks Solomon, it does cut through but I've got other fuzzes that cut live but don't have the fatiguing piercing high end I'm talking about, but it is definitely articulate!

Carcosa is a modern day classic as is the Fuzz Bender, get them now.
An even classier cork-sniffin' version of this circuit is called the Demhe Fuzz, from same builder Tom Cram's own company Spiral Electric.
It also stacks well and can handle being put about anywhere in the chain. I almost need two on my board. 😂
It stacks REALLY well. I used to use it as a "velcro-ifyer" for anything that went into it with just some post gain up.

Barely within my budget, but it's gonna be worth it. I'll get noise gate first, right after that Carcosa.
Hold that thought though because the Carcosa *is* a Boise gate, of sorts. Use a high enough "after" gain and it naturally gates from its bias!

That's a shame. There are some DIY kits out there, I'm sure. Or at least schematics online, if you or someone you know are handy with a solder iron!
I see that you have the Eisenhower fuzz as well how they compare? What do you like more?
The Eisenhower is basically a Superfuzz/Hyper Fuzz/SF300. It's got the octave vive and the huge scoop of the tone toggle. So not really like a Carcosa at all. They're both gnarly but certainly different vibes.
