Electro Harmonix Hell Melter Distortion - Secondhand

Full Description

Experience unmatched tonal destruction

The Electro Harmonix Hell Melter Distortion is an exceptional device engineered to produce the legendary ‘chainsaw’ distortion tone that heavy metal enthusiasts crave. The Hell Melter offers added features that expand the threat of tonal destruction, making it the ultimate tool for guitarists seeking to achieve maximum output, clarity, and control. Whether you seek a light grind or a roaring chainsaw sound, the Hell Melter’s distortion knob adjusts the amount of distortion and saturation to cater to your desired sound.

Custom modernised burn mode

One of the standout features of the Hell Melter is its custom modernised burn mode. This unique distortion sound utilises higher voltage rails and alternative clipping options resulting in a less compressed and more open distortion sound with a pronounced attack. Switching between normal and burn modes allows you to explore the range of possibilities that the Hell Melter has to offer. This feature sets the Hell Melter apart from other pedal distortions, giving you the ability to create a truly brutal sound that's unmatched by anything else.

Complete control over bass, mid & high frequencies

The Hell Melter provides complete control over bass, mid, and high frequencies, allowing you to customise your sound to your exact specifications. The low knob provides active boost or cut to the bass frequency range, while the mid level knob provides boost or cut to mid frequencies, with the frequency set by the mid freq knob. The high knob provides active boost or cut to high frequencies, ensuring that you can produce searing trebles without too much harshness. With all these controls, you can shape your sound in any way you want.

Gate & dry LVL for noise control & clarity

The Hell Melter comes with a gate mini knob that removes unwanted hum by adjusting the noise floor threshold. The gate mutes the output jack when the signal at the input jack is below the threshold setting of the gate knob. Additionally, the dry LVL mini knob adds clean, undistorted input signal to the output. This feature is especially useful when stacking the Hell Melter with a dirty amp or another gain pedal, as it helps maintain note clarity.
