This is the BlackIce is a bass overdrive preamp style pedal I developed from the classic TS9. It shares the same opamp gain stage, recovery stage and input buffer but that’s kind of where the similarities end.

We have a clean blend coming from the input buffer so you’ll know that is a nice strong signal. The TubeScreamer tone stack has been totally replaced for one with a more amp like response that has been optimized for bass, to ensure maximum low end is retained even without the blend activated. The new BlackIce features an active 3 band EQ with Bass, Mid and Treble controls for really optimising your tone.

The D-05 is my take on a classic pre-amp distortion pedal in a killer swirl design. The swirl comes out different every time and if you want a particular set of colours, then please contact us first.

It has several modifications from the original design. First we have a toggle for a thicker, heavier distortion and a warp drive control that shapes the flavour of our distortion from more open, high headroom to a compressed and tighter feel.

The D-05 Distortion

One of the most Iconic scenes from The Two Towers is the battle of The Hornburg, or Helms Deep. It is pure rage, survival, pain and noise. Just like this pedal that stands before you!

The Hornburg is, not a mistake, but something that should not be. A bit like the Uruk-hai. Its takes 2 mammoth circuits and blends them into one. A creation I thought would fail at the first hurdle, but it didn’t.

The input signal is split 3 ways after the buffer, one heads to the gain stage of our overdrive, a supped up BlackIce with Drive control, one sits parallel to this to a modded tall fonted muff circuit consisting of its first 3 stages and sustain/fuzz control. These two signals then come together on the Effect-mix pot. Our third signal then runs parallel too these and forms our clean blend. This allows us to add any needed clean signal (you won’t need it, I run it fully wet haha) if you wish after the gain, but before the EQ. This then goes into our EQ which consists of a master tone and mids control. The mids offering a +/- 5db boost or cut at around 700hz. From the EQ it goes to our make up gain stage and output buffer before our true-bypass switching.
