Cool vid, sounds good!DigiTechRep wrote:Don't worry about it, you are right on the money. The Carcosa is not a smooth fuzz, it is pretty much the polar opposite of a BMP. The Carcosa is a rough and tumble fuzz that is meant to sound like your amp is blowing up, it skirts the edge of ugly in most modes. Lately, my favorite 70's fuzz tones seemed to be dwindling in favor of "smooth and dark" fuzzes. I wanted to put something out that sounded wild and uncontrollable, like something that Mick Ronson or Wayne Kramer would use.Tristan wrote:Funny that so many of you are this enthusiastic.
I really don't dig it, either it seems to sound like a distortion or when it tries to be a fuzz it has this ugly scrambled sound with some nasty high pitches in there like a failed octave up fuzz or something.
At least, that's what it sounds like to me in every video or soundclip I saw / heard of it.
Not to shit on the party though, I'm just curious what you're hearing that makes you enthusiastic of this thing.
The Carcosa won't get you Comfortably Numb, but it will get you The Nile Song.
That said, there are some smoother sounds in the Carcosa, I think that the demo guys up to this point have concentrated on the wilder sounds in the Carcosa because they are dramatic and fun. BTW here is a live clip from my band practice where I am using the Carcosa exclusively. It is going into the B-Channel of my Thunderverb set clean.

The Carcosa sounds good too, in the vid I would almost say it's a distortion and not a fuzz.
For me the fuzz sounds in there are a bit in between of an octave fuzz and a regular fuzz from what I heard so far.
I mean, octave fuzz can be really cool but the specific blend in the Carcosa is probably not my thing I guess.
There aren't many clips around of the Maestro but in those clips it actually sounds fuzzy and fat at the same time, the Carcosa really is a different beast of it's own so it seems, which is cool, there's enough of the same anyway.
