Medusa - Grinding Death Metal Distortion
Prepare to unleash the sonic fury of the Lichtlaerm Audio Medusa - a grinding, high-gain distortion pedal that will transport your guitar tone straight to the mosh pit. This beast of a pedal is the successor to the legendary Breathe//Die, a collaboration between Lichtlaerm and the Swedish death metal band of the same name. Where the Breathe//Die pioneered the use of an HM-2 style circuit with a noise reduction system, the Medusa takes things to the next level. Lichtlaerm has reworked the core circuit, integrating the boost function directly into the gain stages. The result? Up to three times the ferocious, chainsaw-like distortion of the original, with the added ability to sculpt the low-end for those earth-shaking palm mutes. But the Medusa isn't just about sheer, unrelenting gain. Lichtlaerm has packed in a comprehensive EQ section, including a parametric mid control and a shelving high filter, allowing you to fine-tune your tone from the scooped, buzzsaw sound of Swedish death metal to a more modern, in-your-face saturation. And with the built-in noise gate and parallel effects loop, you can seamlessly blend the Medusa's crushing distortion with other pedals or your amp's preamp. Whether you're looking to summon the spirit of Entombed, Dismember, or Grave, the Lichtlaerm Audio Medusa is a must-have for any discerning death metal guitarist. Prepare to have your eardrums annihilated.
