Death By Audio Absolute Destruction | Extreme Fuzz/Distortion

This might be Death By Audio's most insane pedal. Showing little-to-no respect for what instruments normally sound like, or even what people want them to sound like, they pushed this thing until it sounded fully unhinged. Want a thick, gnarly fuzz sound? Sure, you can do that, and it'll sound really, really good. You can also push the OVERLOAD slider into blooming, octave nastiness. Push it further and starve the circuit until your signal eats itself. Push it to the maximum and your sound will duck completely into the void before it returns, coming back to life with a relentless vengeance.

The Absolute Destruction harnesses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane sound. Its Gain and Overload sliders interact to create a wide range of unique sounds in various positions. You choose, to your liking, how much to absolutely destroy your sound. The further the Overload control is set to the left, the faster the effect slips into absolute destruction. Blow it out even harder and faster by slamming Gain and Overload opposite one another. Lower one or the other for smoother attack and release. Screaming octaves, thick fuzz, and the sound of your guitar reaching back from the depths of destruction are at your fingertips. Think of it as a psychotic compressor, or maybe more accurately the sound your amp would make if you set fire to it.
