Description

Edit description

The Swamp Lord is an extremely versatile pedal that can cover all your dirt pedal needs. As you can listen on the demo video, you can go from ultra heavy/sludgy tones to 70s overdriven tones and everything in between. By using all controls and especially our mids and grit controls, you will find that you can make it sound as a fuzz, or you can tighten it up and make it sound more like a distortion or even an overdrive pedal. Using a bigger enclosure this time to remind the luxurious pedals of old, it is a redesigned version of the very sought after first version Electro Harmonix V2 Big Muff Pi “Ram’s Head” (1973-1977), made famous by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr and countless more. We have updated the original design providing a clear tone with less hiss and high articulation for a high gain pedal such as this. Staying true to the original, we have used carbon composition resistors and four gain selected NOS BC239C transistors.

Of course these are not the only differences to the original. Most people have issues using big muff pedals in studio situations, due to their lack of midrange. We overcame this by adding a “MIDS” control where you can increase or scoop the midrange according to your liking or recording needs. It helps your tone breathe more and stand out in all studio or live situations.

We are currently also offering a smaller, more pedalboard friendly version of the Swamp Lord, housed in a 120mm X 95mm enclosure as seen bellow. All materials and tone are the same, the only thing different is the size of the pedal.
