The Death By Audio Germanium Filter is a vintage-voiced distortion pedal that delivers a wide range of tones, from gritty overdrive to blistering fuzz. Utilizing germanium transistors, the pedal offers a unique filter control for extreme tonal sculpting and a gain control that ranges from a dirty boost to saturated distortion. It's ideal for sludge, grunge, and even delta blues, offering a modern take on fuzz with a focus on versatile, gnarly sounds.
TRUE VINTAGE DISTORTION. The Germanium Filter is our love letter to sticking a pencil through your speaker. Start with a console-style drive circuit, made from obsolete germanium transistors, and finish it off with a super intense DBA-style filter, and BLAMO! You’ve got a sound heavy enough to crush and sharp enough to slice.
The Filter control is extremely versatile - it’ll take you from bottomless, sub-woofered out lows to super searing and brittle highs, with a universe of tone in between.
