SONIC EXCESS IN ITS PUREST FORM
The Total Distortion Worship is a collaboration between Cult FX & Lichtlaerm Audio and the result of an obsessive tone chasing journey in search of the ultimate Extreme Metal distortion.

What really takes the Total Distortion Worship well beyond the scope of other distortion pedals, is the interplay between its features:
The sheer countless combinations and fine-tuning capabilities between the boost, EQ and cut knob, present a mighty arsenal when it comes to winning the war on tone: The TDW is easily capable of replacing half of your pedalboard without sacrificing any functionality, so you don't want to be on the frontlines without it!

Total Distortion Worship

Altar

As always we tried to honor the original circuit and leave the core sound intact while offering something new that you won’t find on any similar pedal!
Enter: The King in Yellow!
With a saturation and frequency response clearly based on TS-style overdrives we added our revered active 4-band EQ - as always voiced to perfectly suit the pedal!
As we usually do we also added a charge pump to increase the operating voltage to 36V internally ensuring immense headroom, three times the output volume and a clear operation of the EQ while simultaneously keeping the noise floor low.
In addition to the classic symmetric clipping we added an asymmetric setting as well as LED clipping for more dynamic range - all available at the flick of a switch.

The King in Yellow

Es ist schon erstaunlich, welche Funktionalität in dieses kleine Delay, insbesondere in der Mk II gepackt wurde. Neben Single- und Dual-Delay hat man die Möglichkeit zu Reverse-Delay, was recht spannende Sound-Effekte ermöglicht. Man kann diverse Viertel/Achtel-Delays vorwählen, Tap-Tempo eingeben und hat die Möglichkeit zum Anschluß eines Expression-Pedals. Mit einem High-Pass-Filter (Age) läßt sich der Klang sehr schön zwischen dunkel-analog bis hell-digital formen. Die Konkurrenz an Delays auf meinem Board ist groß, von daher kommt es nicht so oft zum Einsatz. Aufgrund seiner Vielseitigkeit, der Modulations-Möglichkeiten und nicht zuletzt des wunderbaren Desgns werde ich es aber definitiv behalten.

It's amazing what functionality has been packed into this little delay, especially in the Mk II. In addition to single and dual delay, you have the option of reverse delay, which enables quite exciting sound effects. You can preselect various quarter/eighth delays, enter tap tempo and have the option of connecting an expression pedal. With a high-pass filter (Age), the sound can be beautifully shaped between dark analogue and bright digital. There is a lot of competition for delays on my board, so I don't use it that often. Because of its versatility, the modulation options and, last but not least, the wonderful design, I will definitely keep it.

The Gehenna is our take on a highly flexible metal distortion:
from classic NWOBHM to early 2000s Core-music, from raw Black and Death Metal to super tight and modern Djent - it’s all in there!
