With its take on the cult-classic,\nchainsaw distortion pedal, the EHX Hell Melter takes distortion to its\nextremes. The Electro-Harmonix Hell\nMelter Advanced Metal Distortion Pedal features expanded controls and tonal\ncapabilities, allowing the already in-your-face sound of the pedal to broaden\nby switching to more open clipping options and boosting the internal voltage\nfor increased headroom, less compression, and more attack. Originally designed\nas the ultimate in high-gain tone, this world-famous distortion circuit is\nknown for the death metal sounds of Sweden’s Entombed and the shoegaze wash of\nMy Bloody Valentine. It’s even found a home in the rig of David Gilmour. The\nEHX Hell Melter’s expanded control set includes Gain and Level controls, and a\npowerful active EQ featuring with parametric mids for improved versatility. The\nDry level control allows for blending your input signal for improved low-end\nwhen used with a bass or even blending in other distorted tones. Boost\nFootswitch engages an input gain boost and volume boost which is internally\nadjustable. The Normal and Burn switch toggles between the classic chainsaw\nsound and the more open clipping option. The output jack’s audio output is from\nthe Hell Melter while the input jack’s audio input to the Hell Melter. \u003cspan\u003eThe level knob adjusts the overall output level\nof the Hell Melter. Turn clockwise for more output. More output is available\nthan on the original chainsaw circuit. Switches between normal and burn modes,\nnormal mode is the famous vintage chainsaw distortion sound. The burn mode is a\ncustom modernized distortion sound, utilizing higher voltage rails and\nalternative clipping options. This results in a less compressed and more open\ndistortion sound with a more pronounced attack. The distortion knob adjusts the\namount of distortion and saturation, from a light grind to a roaring chainsaw.\nTurn clockwise for more distortion. The mid-level knob provides active boost or\ncut to the mid frequency with the frequency set by Mid Frequency knob. The\nmiddle position leaves mid frequencies flat. The high knob provides active\nboost or cut to high frequencies. The middle position leaves high frequencies\nflat. Tip the frequencies controlled by the high knob are slightly lower than a\ntypical treble control allowing you to produce searing highs without a lot of\ntreble harshness. To emphasize even higher treble frequencies turn the high\nknob below the middle position and increase the level knob to re-emphasize\ntreble. The mid frequency knob adjusts the frequency boosted or cut by the mid-level\nknob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the frequency. The low knob provides\nactive boost or cut to the bass frequency range. The middle position leaves\nbass frequencies flat. Dry level mini knob adds clean, undistorted input signal\nto the output. As the knob is turned clockwise, the amount of dry signal increases.\nAt the minimum position, no dry signal is mixed into the output. Tip, this is\nespecially useful to maintain note clarity when stacking the Hell Melter with a\ndirty amp or another gain pedal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ELECTRO-HARMONIX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53967822651686,"sku":"HELLMELTER_MINT","price":176.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/9803\/0886\/files\/3574633.jpg?v=1790617460","url":"https:\/\/www.focusproaudio.com\/products\/electro-harmonix-hellmelter-mint-pedals-effects-pedalboards-distortion-overdrive-boost-fuzz-pedals","provider":"Focus Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
