Black Hole Distortion
Prepare to unleash a sonic maelstrom with the Butterworth Electronics Black Hole Distortion. This pedal is the result of meticulous design, combining a unique high-gain setup with an array of powerful controls that put you in the driver's seat. Beyond the standard tone and volume knobs, the Black Hole offers something truly special – separate control over your pre-gain and post-gain stages. This unprecedented level of sculpting power allows you to fine-tune your distortion, from searing lead tones to thick, saturated rhythm sounds. But the surprises don't stop there. Butterworth has also included a presence knob, giving you the ability to shape the high-end response and cut through the mix with precision. The real showstopper, however, is the second stomp switch. Engage it, and the hard-clipping diodes are removed, introducing a third gain stage. This provides a smoother, more organic overdrive character, with the ability to boost or cut the output to taste. It's like having two pedals in one – a distortion monster and a silky smooth overdrive, all at your fingertips. As an added touch, the hard-clipping setting features an LED that visually tracks the attack of your signal, giving you instant feedback on your playing dynamics. It's a small but ingenious detail that speaks to the level of thought Butterworth has poured into this exceptional pedal. Whether you're a metal shredder or a blues-rock aficionado, the Black Hole Distortion is a must-have addition to your pedalboard, ready to expand the boundaries of your sonic palette.
