THE FIVE HORSE CHANNELS OF THE APOCALYPSE
A clear sustaining overdriver run into one of 5 selectable post amplifiers into a sweepable frequency equalizer circuit. What does this mean? It's basically a huge range of intense and usable overdrive, distortion, EQ, and fuzz effects in one. Use this pedal as a boost for solos, a great recording DI, your main guitar sound, a bass fuzz, or run any other sound you want through it to beef it up, blast it out, or energize it. The Absolute Destruction harnesses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane sound. Its GAIN and OVERLOAD sliders interact to create a wide range of "unique" sounds in various positions. You choose how much to absolutely destroy your sound. The farther the OVERLOAD control is set to the left, the faster the effect slips into absolute destruction and gets totally disintegrated. Blow it out even harder and faster by slamming GAIN and OVERLOAD opposite one another. Lower one or the other for smoother attack and release. Screaming octaves, thick fuzz, and the sound of your guitar reaching back from the depths of destruction are at your fingertips. Think of it as a psychotic compressor, or the sound your amp might make when literally on fire, or any number of things that your boring friends wouldn’t call music.
CONTROLSRotary Selector:
- Twin-T Scoop: A circuit adding bass and treble simultaneously. Quieter volume than the rest.
- War Fuzz: A very full and dynamic distortion with rich harmonics and sustain.
- Dual J-FET: Similar to the War Fuzz setting but it uses dual J-FETs to get its sound.
- Octave Rect: Sums the bottom and top halves of a waveform to create an octave up.
- Gain x1000: The gain is cranked up super high on this post amp causing strange results.
Vol:
Adjusts the output volume of the pedal.
Drive:
Controls the volume of the initial preamp inside the pedal. Turn it up to get more distortion and fuzz and back off of it to get more overdrives and boosts.
Sweepable Frequency Equalizer: This is a special tone knob designed to function as a multitude of tone controls all at once. Its range is extreme, beginning with a bass booster fading into a mid scoop, followed by a mid boost and into a few stages of treble boosting to give you a beautiful bright sound.
