KHDK Totality Overdrive Effects Pedals

The core lineup spans overdrive, distortion, fuzz, and boost categories, anchored by models like the Ghoul Screamer overdrive, the Dark Blood distortion, the No. 1 overdrive, the Scuzz Box fuzz, and the Abyss bass overdrive. KHDK has built a roster of artist signature pedals that skews heavily toward heavy music, including collaborations with Joe Duplantier of Gojira (Gojira Drive), Gary Holt of Slayer (Mad Monarch), Chino Moreno of Deftones (Digital Bath), Michael Amott of Arch Enemy (Infernal Drive), Alessandro Venturella of Slipknot (Totality), Dave Ellefson of Megadeth (Fallout Bass Overdrive), and Trivium (In Waves), among others.

While rooted in the high-gain and metal world, KHDK's pedals are designed to be versatile enough for a range of genres. The company has also expanded beyond effects into electric guitars, debuting its first instrument models at Guitar Summit in Mannheim, Germany.

KHDK has 28 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Boost Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 44 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Kirk Hammett, Adam Jones, and Joe Duplantier.
