Swamp-Thang Tremolo & Mastortion Pedal Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Monster Effects Mastortion Overdrive impresses with its fuzz-like quality and massive low end, making it a great tool for players seeking Mastodon-inspired, grinding metal tones. Designed with Brent Hinds, it offers a tight, fuzz-infused sound with a surprising low noise floor, perfect for staccato licks. The pedal shines when used as a boost, enhancing amp settings for rich, stoner metal textures. However, its limited onboard gain and absence of a tone knob might leave players desiring more control. A solid choice for those wanting powerful, edgy tones without excessive options.

Did you achieve the soaring, fuzzy, echoed-out solo on “The Sparrow” by doubling it with a synth?

Hinds: "That’s a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio pedal through an Ibanez Tube Screamer over a Monster Effects Mastortion pedal into a Fender Princeton Reverb. It sounds doubled, but it’s not."
