Beauty & Ruin - Bob Mould Signature Distortion
Unleash the Sonic Fury of Bob Mould's Signature Distortion Pedal The Tym Guitars Beauty & Ruin is the result of a unique collaboration between the legendary Bob Mould and boutique pedal maker Tym Guitars. Drawing inspiration from the iconic MXR Distortion+, this signature pedal offers a modern twist on a classic circuit. At the heart of the Beauty & Ruin lies the classic 741 IC, delivering that unmistakable gritty, saturated tone that has defined Mould's guitar work for decades. But Tym Guitars has fine-tuned the design, incorporating two silicon diodes for clipping that lend a slightly crisper and cleaner distortion compared to the earlier germanium-based units. The result is a pedal that captures the essence of Mould's blistering guitar tones, with a high-output signal and a noticeable reduction in the sometimes overpowering high-frequency sizzle. The standard volume and gain controls allow you to shape your sound, from smooth, harmonically rich overdrive to searing, distortion-fueled mayhem. Mould himself was thrilled with the Tym Guitars Tymexar pedal that inspired this signature model, and he worked closely with the brand to refine the design and aesthetics. The Beauty & Ruin features a custom look and comes complete with a t-shirt and certificate, making it a must-have collectible for Mould fans and discerning guitarists alike. Whether you're channeling the raw energy of Hüsker Dü or seeking to infuse your playing with the gritty, atmospheric tones of Sugar, the Tym Guitars Beauty & Ruin is a true tone machine that will elevate your sonic arsenal.
