EQUALIZER

The Krank Distortus Maximus is a distortion pedal designed to provide high-gain, bone-crunching tone. It is compact and easy to operate, featuring a 3-band EQ, gain, and master controls. This pedal aims to deliver the high-gain harmonic flavors characteristic of Krank’s Revolution 1 and Krankenstein amps, offering warmth and clarity that other distortion effects might lack. Users have reported that the Distortus Maximus can turn any clean-sounding amp into a high-gain monster, making it a versatile choice for metal players who may not have access to high-gain amplifiers. The pedal is praised for its lively and responsive sound, avoiding the overly compressed, flat tones common in many distortion pedals.
