The HomeBrew Electronics HBE Signature Series Gary Holt Doomsday Device. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!
The Doomsday Device is an overdrive pedal based on our Power Screamer with a few twists. The gain and output were increased slightly and a completely different Tone control was designed with a wider, more responsive range. That was just the start. The most lethal feature of the Doomsday Device is the Doomsday footswitch which allows the user to footswitch between the two Diode Select settings each yielding different overdrive characteristics.
Controls:
- Input-Instrument in. Unplug when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Out-Out to amp -9VDC jack-for use with -(Negative) center, 9VDC, filtered, and regulated power supply.
- Gain control-Varies the amount of overdrive.
- Level control-Varies the amount of output. Capable of driving an amp in to saturation. Sounds best when ran a little above unity. (Louder with the pedal on)
- Tone control-Varies the amount of treble.
- Boost-Engage to add more gain and low end to the overdrive.
- Armageddon (On/Off )-True bypass of effect. (Note: a small pop may occur when effect is switched on/off. This is normal and is a trait associated with true bypass.)
- Doomsday-Footswitchable select between two of three diode modes depending on where the Diode Select toggle is set.
- Diode Select- Left-Classic overdrive-tight and controlled. Right-Very compressed with tube like sag, warm, sounds like a small tube amp about to explode, best for single notes.
