Is your dung beetle the one that has the copper tone box with the bejeweled looking beetle on it? I saw that on here one day and was like wtf THAT is cool!The dung beetle is the go to fuzz pedal in this household.
I gotta do a video with that in the title, get all click baity and shit
I have built both these pedals out of the 2 the scarab made it to a box although it was a very tough choice I felt with the bias and fat knob gave it just a bit more versatility but really both sound fantastic just a bit more knob fiddling with the scarab dialing in something usefulI’ve been looking at the Carcosa and Scarab Deluxe recently.
Versatile fuzz? No such thing! I've built like 50, (crying) there can't be just one that does it all!
For my personal tastes the boss hyper fuzz is about as versatile as it gets and the fuzz I'm using 50% of the time.
I gotta start taking stuff out of frame, yeah it is one of a few I have made but that one is MINE.

I swap between a Carcosa, Behringer SF300, diy Pharoah, Ultra Stoner, Arkaim, and a Death Cap.
From that list, the Carcosa is definitely the most versatile with the most range. It can’t quite get all the way down in the mud like my muff variants, but I don’t think that’s what you want anyway. On the other hand, you can tweak it to ripping velcro, splatter, all the way to a buzz box sound.
The controls are interactive. It’s not difficult to dial in, but there’s a lot of fiddling to be done if you want to sit and look for new sounds.
I don’t have a scarab/beetle, but it seems to have a wide span also.
