Inspired by the legendary “chainsaw” distortion, it delivers a razor-sharp attack, massive sustain, and powerful midrange punch, perfect for crushing riffs and screaming solos. With a comprehensive 3-band EQ, a Preamp control for extra saturation, and a Boost mode, the Hell Melter offers a wide range of distortion tones – from thick, chugging rhythm tones to searing, face-melting leads. The Parallel Dry Output allows you to blend in your clean signal for extra clarity and punch.
