Blood Brother
The ToneButcher Blood Brother is a fiendishly versatile filter pedal that's sure to become a go-to for any guitarist craving thick, sinister tones. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a sonic beast just waiting to be unleashed. At its core, the Blood Brother is a state-of-the-art envelope filter, capable of generating everything from subtle wah-like sweeps to mind-bending, sample-and-hold-inspired madness. But this pedal has a few tricks up its sleeve that set it apart from the competition. The real magic happens when you start to engage the pedal's unique distortion circuit. Rather than simply adding grit on top of your signal, the Blood Brother's distortion is deeply integrated with the filter, allowing you to create snarling, harmonically-rich tones that seem to jump out of the mix. Crank up the drive and you'll be rewarded with a sound that's equal parts vintage funk and modern metal - the perfect accompaniment for those ripping lead lines or rumbling power chords. Versatile controls give you precise command over the pedal's voicing, letting you dial in everything from smooth, singing sustain to aggressive, gated aggression. Rumor has it that Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello has been spotted using a Blood Brother to conjure his trademark alien-like textures, and once you get your hands on one, you'll understand why.
