Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter

The EHX Hell Melter takes the iconic chainsaw distortion pedal and pushes it to new extremes. This pedal is designed for high-gain enthusiasts, delivering a raw, in-your-face sound that can be shaped further with expanded controls. With the ability to switch to more open clipping options and boost the internal voltage, you get increased headroom, less compression, and more attack, offering a richer, more dynamic distortion tone. Known for its crushing death metal sounds, like those heard in Entombed, and the shoegaze textures of My Bloody Valentine, the Hell Melter has also found a place in the rig of David Gilmour.

Featuring a classic heavy metal circuit, the Hell Melter includes active EQ controls with a parametric MIDS knob for expanded tonal shaping. It also comes with a noise gate, dry level control, and footswitchable boost section. Whether you're in NORMAL mode for aggressive tone or BURN mode for an even more intense sound, this pedal offers independent distortion and level knobs to fine-tune your setup. With a 9V power supply included, the Hell Melter is ready to add extreme distortion to your rig right out of the box.
