Don’t Fear the Dark!

The DOD Chthonic (pronounced THAH-nik) is a modern fuzz pedal designed for guitarists seeking a crushing yet articulate tone. While it works best with low-output single-coil, non-active instruments, it can also produce heavy sounds with humbuckers and active instruments. Its name, referring to deities of the underworld, aptly reflects the pedal’s dark and menacing sonic profile. Built with high-quality components and featuring true bypass, the Chthonic ensures signal integrity and reliability for both studio and live environments.

The control layout includes knobs for Fuzz, Output, and Lustre, allowing users to finely sculpt their sound to either cut through a dense mix or sink into a wall of drone. The Chthonic balances brutality with nuance, letting chords resonate with complexity and single notes sustain with bite. It particularly excels with extended-range guitars and down-tuned setups, maintaining low-end stability throughout.

The enclosure boasts eye-catching artwork that mirrors the mythological and ominous tone of the pedal’s sound, making it visually striking on your pedalboard as well as sonically formidable. In a market saturated with fuzz pedals, the DOD Chthonic stands out as a modern classic for players seeking fat, corpulent, fudgy, and sludgy tones.

For The Bass Players:

The DOD Chthonic Fuzz is perfect for bass players too. It delivers raw, gritty textures with an aggressive midrange growl, offering a crushing wall of fuzz while keeping clarity for lower-end tones. From light fuzz to destructive sound, bassists can achieve the desired tone. The Chthonic stands out as a modern, menacing alternative to vintage fuzzes, rooted in darkness and weight.
