The EHX Hell Melter takes chainsaw distortion to the next level. The Hell Melter features expanded controls and tonal capabilities, allowing the 'in-your-face' sound to broaden by switching to more open clipping options and boosting the internal voltage for increased headroom, less compression and more attack.
  Originally designed as the ultimate in high-gain tone, this world-famous distortion circuit is known for the shoegaze wash of My Bloody Valentine. It’s even found a home in the rig of David Gilmour!
  Expanded control includes Gain and Level, and a powerful active EQ featuring parametric mids for improved versatility. The Dry level allows for blending the input signal for improved low-end with a bass or even blending in other distorted tones.
  The boost Footswitch engages an input gain boost and volume boost which is internally adjustable. The Normal/Burn switch toggles between the classic chainsaw sound and the more open clipping option.
