T-Rex: Totenschlager

This is a mouthful: TOTENSCHLAGER. Whatever's the case, be informed that it's a little menace. It's an intense distortion type pedal which hails from the 'mini' T-Rex Tone Bug series. The control features there speak everything about simplicity but that's besides the point. It's there to deliver noxious metal & it does the job.

When I tried this pedal yesterday, I thought it would be a half-baked unit, much hype without a serious intention but that's definitely NOT the case. The simple layout there is exactly my idea of a no-frills metal pedal, just the level, intensity & EQ to deliver the needs. If there's any need to refine this pedal then the manufacturer has to look into the dodgy EQ sliders but they are effective nevertheless. Spare the treble, please. Anything more than 50% application gives you this screechy voicing, akin to DOD's Death Metal pedal (that's right, the version before Digitech took over). Enough talk already, listen to this:




Thanks to DAVIS GMC for letting me try this one! Kudos!
