Description

Edit description

Unleash the raw power of vintage thrash with the Dirt Monger Instruments American Metal/Thrash Master Combo. This dynamic distortion pedal is a harmonious fusion of two legendary circuits: the DOD American Metal and the Thrash Master, each inspired by the iconic HM-2 but with their own distinct EQ curves. Whether you're chasing the biting growl of American metal or the aggressive punch of thrash, this pedal delivers with precision and clarity.

Designed for reliability and versatility, the American Metal/Thrash Master Combo features a modern footswitch that ensures consistent engagement, solving the notorious reliability issues found in older models. Additionally, it incorporates a Klon-style buffered bypass, enhancing signal integrity and reducing unwanted oscillation feedback commonly encountered in high-gain setups. This makes it not only a powerhouse of distortion but also a valuable asset in maintaining your tone throughout your rig.

Whether you're shredding on stage or crafting new sounds in the studio, this pedal is the perfect ally for any guitarist looking to expand their sonic palette. Please note, a standard 9 Volt center negative power supply is required, which is not included—check the info section for recommendations on compatible power supplies.

Key Features:

Combines DOD American Metal and Thrash Master circuits
Toggle between two distinct EQ curves
Modern footswitch for reliable operation
Klon-style buffered bypass for enhanced signal integrity
Requires standard 9 Volt center negative power supply (not included)
