Unique Controls for Modern Metal

Instead of basic features, the Blademaster provides a three-band EQ and the signature 'Wow Clip' switch, granting tonal flexibility rivaling boutique pedals. Instantly switch from a thick, boosted bottom end to a sharper, articulate lead tone with the 'Wow Clip'.

Comprehensive Tone Shaping and Power

Its EQ and output controls adapt to a range of rigs and genres, but the pedal excels in heavy music. Use the gain and EQ to achieve everything from classic crunch to intensely saturated distortion.

• EQ Controls: High, Mid, Low — Shape the frequency spectrum for scooped rhythms or cutting lead lines.
• When you activate the Wow Clip (Low Frequency Boost), you unlock a deeper bass response or opt for a tighter sound by switching it off.
• Gain: Adjustable knob — From gritty drive up to full-blown metal saturation.
• Master Volume: Adjustable knob — Matches pedal output to your amp or other effects.
