Anybody seen this?

I want one so bad, looks like for now it'll have to be ordered from PGS in the USA!

Caught the clip on YouTube last night. Might be the first fuzz I've actually wanted for ages.

Yeah I'm trying to find somewhere to buy one in the UK! Might have to get one shipped from PGS

WTF has happened to DOD? They have gone from making utter dull shite that I wouldn't even consider to some of the most exciting pedals available from a mainstream maker.
Sounds ace

With a discount code, it comes to just shy of £90, including shipping. No import fees though.

I think they've always had great pedals - the screamin blues, bad monkey, grunge, classic tube, a few awesome stereo analogue chorus pedals... 

They had poor quality switches though (my fx65 is reliable so far... But they're reported as being awful) and a lot of the others were utter shit.

The Carcosa sounds awesome.

I think Digitech have had a management shakeup.

Since they've been back, DOD have nailed it with their pedals. Not a bad or mediocre one in the lot.

I wasn't old enough to remember DOD in the 90s when they had a reputation for original sounding and well thought out pedals that broke shortly after purchase. Now that they've added reliability to the pedals, they're selling incredibly well as a result.

Case in point with the Carcosa. With the Before and After knobs, plus a switch, they've managed to coax a huge range of tones out of one circuit. With an MSP of $99, this could be a really affordable alternative to alot of boutique, plus £100 pedals.

Have you got around to buying a Carcosa yet?  

Shame it is a PGS special.  Digitech are really shooting themselves in their foots right now, they'd sell bucketloads at $99 if it was available worldwide!

That looks pretty good.

I doubt "DOD" as a company actually exists in any meaningful way, its just a label harman/digitech releases things under.
