1 2 3 4 9 8 5 6 7 1. BEFORE - Increases/Decreases the amount of fuzz. 2. OUTPUT - Increases/Decreases the overall output level, there is a lot of level here so this can be used as a boost. 3. AFTER - Bias Control changes the texture of the fuzz. Counter-clockwise attains loud “woody” fuzz tones that clean up with the guitar volume knob, and full clockwise attains splatty “broken” fuzz tones and “horn-like” vowel sounds and sustain.
6. DEMHE/HALI - Use the DEMHE voicing (Up Toggle Position) for a bass and low-mid boost which works great for clean channel usage. Use the HALI voicing (Down Toggle Position) for a bass cut that works great for dirty channel usage. 7. FOOTSWITCH - turns the effect on and off. 8. LED - turns on when the effect is enabled. 9. OUT - connect to the next pedal’s input or to the input of your amplifier.
gain and attack characteristics become less-responsive to volume changes and more aggressive fuzz tones are available - All the way up to strange sputtering synthy hornlike tones. In most uses the Carcosa’s HI-CUT control will rarely go above noon, the rest of the HICUT travel is meant to make up for loss of attack and the extreme sag caused by higher bias (AFTER) settings.
