Description

Edit description

A gruesome single knob adaptation of the dimed HM-2 chainsaw circuit, we’ve taken the classic death metal tone and tailored it to modern doom, sludge, and drone metal.

Thundering lows, punishing mids, and that unmistakable chainsaw grind, the Doomsaw is a visceral device designed specifically for downtuned guitar and bass.

Designed in collaboration with Nick Williams of Dunwich Amplification.
