Electro-Harmonix resurrects a cult-classic distortion circuit with expanded control in the Hell Melter Advanced Distortion Pedal, an all-analog high-gain distortion effect that will get you from timid to chainsaw heavy-metal tones in an instant. Not only does Hell Melter offer the in-your-face distortion sound that has been used by countless artists such as Entombed and My Bloody Valentine, this new iteration broadens the horizons of the original by providing more open clipping options and an active EQ section, and boosts the internal voltage for increased headroom, less compression, and more attack.

The expanded control set includes independent Gain and Level controls, as well as a dry level for blending your input signal and getting an improved low end when used with a bass or blending in other distorted tones. The handy noise-gate control allows you to eliminate unwanted hum by adjusting the noise floor, effectively muting the output whenever the input is below the set threshold. This guitar pedal includes a 9V power supply to get you started.
