Description

DigiTech positioned the DOD Carcosa as an analog fuzz pedal offering a wide range of fuzz characters from a single unit. It carried forward the DOD name on a circuit built around a bias control labelled AFTER and a two-position toggle, giving the pedal its breadth of available tones.

The Carcosa's AFTER bias control combined with the two toggle positions produced tones described by the original documentation as ranging from full and compressed to heavily degraded and asymmetric. The circuit was voiced with an exaggerated mid-range and treble character, intended to maintain note articulation in dense mix contexts while also allowing extreme bias settings for more unstable fuzz behaviour. The pedal runs on a 9VDC alkaline battery or an optional HARMAN PS0913DC power adapter, draws 4 mA, and is fitted with true bypass switching. Input impedance is 500 kΩ on a standard 1/4" TS unbalanced jack; output impedance is 1 kΩ on a matching 1/4" TS unbalanced jack.

Owners needing bias adjustment, switch servicing, or power jack work should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with analog effects circuitry.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
