Digitech DOD Chthonic Fuzz Effects Pedal

Product Information

DigiTech ®/DOD® invites guitarists to embrace their darker side with the release of the Chthonic Fuzz, a deceptively minimalist, vintage-inspired pedal with impressive versatility and a distinctive voice. The Chthonic Fuzz (pronounced “thaw-nick” and meaning “of or relating to the underworld”) is capable of sludgy, tight-grain fuzz tones and is impactful with guitars outfitted with any types of pickups, though specifically designed for “brighter” single-coil, P90, DeArmond , or gold-foil equipped instruments.

Expanding upon an initial ‘70s informed, single-knob (Output) fuzz circuit, DOD engineers added functionality via a separate gain control (Fuzz) and a gentle passive tone control (Lustre) that ensures audible pick attack throughout the entire frequency range, making for a still easy-to-use, but more flexible pedal, capable of the darkest, most potent fuzz to subtle touches of sonic grit and everywhere in between. A pair of 2N2222 transistors allow for traditional transistor clipping that can be dramatically reined in by dialing back the guitar volume-knob. As a two-transistor pedal, the Chthonic Fuzz – like many vintage-style fuzz boxes – works best when place first in the signal chain.
