Electro Harmonix Hell Melter Advanced Metal Distortion Effect Pedal

The Electro Harmonix Hell Melter is a fiendish, beastly high-gain distortion based on the unholiest grail of dirt pedal tones forged in the dark depths of 90s' Scandanavian metal. 

Dime the controls for that demonic Swedish death metal belligerence with enough gain on tap to rumble the foundations of the underworld. Run the whole thing through your favorite ambient chain for dripping My Bloody Valentine goodness, or dial it back a la David Gilmour and use the expanded tone controls to sculpt your sound to your liking. 

Normal Mode gets you the classic clipping mode with that iconic buzz-saw-to-your-speaker-cones distortion. Or flip the switch to Burn Mode for a more open, less compressed distortion sound. The noise gate helps tame the infernal hiss that comes with so much gain and you can even blend back in your clean signal to retain clarity and low end—bass guitar, anyone?? 

The Boost Switch can be stomped to increase volume output with a trim pot inside to control boost levels and an active EQ with parametric mids helps carve your sonic sacrifice to your liking.  

Follow the left-hand path to pure tonal debauchery.
