          • Owned and hand built by Tom Cram who is the guy that brought Digitech/DOD back from the dead. He had major work on the Obscura, Polara, DOD 250, etc 
          • Currently makes two pedals: Yellow spiral and black spiral 
          • Yellow Spiral
            • Mostly lives in overdrive land and dips into fuzz
            • It’s kind of fuzzy and has some natural octaving by the sounds of it.
            • LED or Silicon diodes 
            • Black Spiral
              • Much fuzzier than the Yellow but can also be more of a straightforward rock tone 
              • Based on the Meastro FZ1-S, an early version of which later became the DOD Carcosa Fuzz 
              • Works best with a crunchy amp channel. 
              • Controls for gain, bias, detail, and output. Toggle switch for clipping options.
