DOD Chthonic Fuzz

[VanWhy]

"The Chthonic Fuzz (pronounced: THAH-nik) creates fat, corpulent, fudgy, sludgy, fuzz tones designed to pair perfectly with single-coil, P90, gold-foil, and DeArmond style pickups. It also works great with PAF-style humbuckers, but this fuzz was designed with brighter guitars and bright, clean amps in mind.

Starting with a beloved single-knob ‘70’s fuzz circuit, we experimented with adding a subtle tone control (Lustre), and then a separate gain control (Fuzz). This yielded a simple yet powerful fuzz with an earthy, dark flavor. Straight-up transistor clipping using a pair of 2N2222 transistors allows guitar volume knob clean-up similar to other classic fuzzes, but the Chthonic comes from a different dimension. Think of it as a kind of classic fuzz from an alternate universe."

Came here to add it to the wishlist. Glad to see it’s already up here.

Is it even out yet? You guys don’t mess around.

It’s a Fuzz Face, innit?…

From the description, kinda sounds like one, eh?

Was hoping for more out the gate from new-and-improved Tom-Cram-led DOD.

EDIT:

from the linked vid - "It is silicon: a pair of 2N2222’s, and the Lustre control is tuned specifically for single-coils, and brighter amp channels. It started out from the vintage Colorsound one-knob Fuzz Box. As we started tweaking we added a Gain and a tone (Luster) and it turned into something else."

So yeah, a Fuzz Box / Fuzz Face variant

I don't think I've ever seen fudgy as a descriptor for a pedal before. We talking Christmas fudge or fudgy like a warm brownie?

I can think of one other use of the word…
