The Hell Melter features expanded controls and tonal capabilities, allowing the already in-your-face sound of the pedal to broaden by switching to more open clipping options and boosting the internal voltage for increased headroom, less compression, and more attack.</p><p>Originally designed as the ultimate in high-gain tone, this world-famous distortion circuit is known for the death metal sounds of Sweden’s Entombed and the shoegaze wash of My Bloody Valentine. It’s even found a home in the rig of David Gilmour!</p><p>The EHX Hell Melter’s expanded control set includes Gain and Level controls, and a powerful active EQ featuring with parametric mids for improved versatility. The Dry level control allows for blending your input signal for improved low-end when used with a bass or even blending in other distorted tones.</p><p>Boost Footswitch engages an input gain boost and volume boost which is internally adjustable. The Normal/Burn switch toggles between the classic chainsaw sound and the more open clipping option.</p><p><strong>Product Highlights:</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Classic Heavy Metal circuit with expanded controls</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Increased overall output volume</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Active EQ controls expansion with parametric MIDS control</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Noise gate and dry level control</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">NORMAL and BURN modes</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Footswitchable boost section</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Independent distortion and level knobs</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">9V power supply included</p><p><strong>Product Features:</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Output Jack:</strong> Audio output from the Hell Melter.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Input Jack:</strong> Audio input to the Hell Melter.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Norm / Burn Switch:</strong> Switches between "Normal" and "Burn" Modes.</p><p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Normal Mode:</strong> The famous vintage chainsaw distortion sound.</p><p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Burn Mode:</strong> A custom, modernized distortion sound utilizing higher voltage rails and alternative clipping options.
