This Heavy Earth

808 at the core mixed with our Spectral Gate noise control. Pre-gain HPF control, post-gain LPF, internal DIP switches for clipping between symmetrical silicon (stock 808), and asymmetrical LED.

20DB clean boost with tone control. Get ready to breathe life into your riffs and meet your new favorite always-on tone sweetener. It does include our momentary/latching true bypass soft switching but I think you'll be leaving it always-on.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more evil... Adjust the cascading gain stages to get the classic black metal tone or crank them to get crazy high gain riffage.

This design started as a Rat style distortion but with the goal of more gain, loads more output, thick to tight low end, and of course it needed a clean blend for those of us who prefer that for gain stacking and the bassist out there. Drop the gain to zero, turn up the tight control, and use it as a boost or do just the opposite for massive doom.

T.H.E. Widower distortion will literally take your head off with its high gain, high sustain amp-like distortion sound.

Higher Power is a 60W class d solid state power amp solution that is a perfect pairing for analog gear or digital modelers.

HM2 Chainsaw style distortion. Including the Low Mid EQ control as well as allow for additional control over more aspects of the circuit allowing you to dial in just the right flavor of HM2 style chainsaw for your sound.

Marshall JCM800 style preamp

The Titan PreAmp Sweetener is tweaked to my taste and meant to be used with preamp pedals or in the FX loop of your amp that unfortunately doesn't have Presence and Depth controls. While this isn't true Presence control like your 5150, it's an emulation that brings additional character and life to your tone by simulating power amp dampening.

Based on the Peavey amp, this preamp pedal is built to achieve that super saturated death metal guitar tone. Famously stacked with chainsaw tones to get that Slaughter of the Soul guitar tone. This is the high gain channel as a standalone preamp with some modifications. My modifications maintain the original character but are what consider "quality of life" upgrades as they just make it slightly easier to dial in.

What started out seeking the warm overdrive of the 808 but precision tone shaping of the ST9 to create anything from tight modern metal to fat blues grit resulted in the GRIM overdrive. Mix the versatile range of tone shaping controls with additional headroom from the internal charge pump and it's off to riff city.

This is the one for you if you're looking for heavy death metal brutality to put in front of your amp or use as a preamp into your interface or power amp.
