With all the fine sonic terror crafted on your instruments, there comes all sorts of unwanted noise. With every parameter of this gate defined by an envelope-follower this is the most transparent solution you can get on the market! The gate reacts super fast to any change in your playing-style: from staccato to long sustained notes for a singing lead-tone: no problem!
Connect your guitar directly to the side mounted jacks and follow your usual signal chain from there. The pedal splits your signal internally and uses your unaltered guitar-signal as a reference for it´s gating: no tone sucking, no loss of sustain! As the gate uses your pure guitar-signal, you can leave it always on - it really doesn´t care, if you are on your clean or dirt channel or whatever dirt pedals you put in between the key and the gate!

The Key and The Gate

A super organic, meaty distortion sound based on the classic Proco RAT that was vastly improved by using highest quality parts, adding an active 2 band baxandall style tonestack any way more output and a bigger range on the gain-control than on the original. A completely unique feature is the “Comp”-switch that adds 2 different clipping diodes to the first gain stage, adding compression, gain and smoothing out the gain structure bringing you into way more modern areas of sound than you’d ever expect from a RAT! We also included an internal lowpass filter that gives you even more control over the sound! For the relaunch we added our proprietary “Cut”-control that gives you full control over the saturation and overall feel of the gain-structure: modern and percussive sounds, classic distortion with a good amount of hair and warmth or full on drone sounds that make you want to put on a robe and let your chords ring out for minutes!

Ritual

Named after the tragical heroine from Greek mythology our Kassandra is a unique VCA-based phaser that offers you tap tempo, 8 different waveforms from classical sine and triangle shapes to more experimental random sloped and steps along with the possibility to be turned into a Univibe.
The resonance knob adjusts the amount of signal that is fed back to the first phasing stage, resulting in a crisper, more vocal like phasing without ever distorting - a thing that we always felt was annoying with JFET-based phasers.
The LFO has a way bigger range than usual giving you unprecedented depth and speeds way out of the range you’ve ever heard in a phaser!

Kassandra

The Gehenna is our take on a highly flexible metal distortion:
from classic NWOBHM to early 2000s Core-music, from raw Black and Death Metal to super tight and modern Djent - it’s all in there!
Featuring our proprietary cut-control that allows you to dial in different gain structures, saturation types and adjust the frequency response to the tuning of your guitar: from super tight and controlled to roaring and huge vintage sounds!
The Gehenna boasts one of the most expansive yet easy to use EQ-sections you’ll find in any pedal: An active dual-band mids control allows for tailoring of both high- and low-mids separately while active treble and bass controls and a set of passive presence & depth controls really set this thing apart from other distortion/preamp pedals and allow for immense tone-sculpting capabilities.
The mix of passive and active controls give you sounds that range from classic amp-like distortion to filthy sounding tones you never heard before!

Gehenna mk II

SONIC EXCESS IN ITS PUREST FORM
The Total Distortion Worship is a collaboration between Cult FX & Lichtlaerm Audio and the result of an obsessive tone chasing journey in search of the ultimate Extreme Metal distortion.

What really takes the Total Distortion Worship well beyond the scope of other distortion pedals, is the interplay between its features:
The sheer countless combinations and fine-tuning capabilities between the boost, EQ and cut knob, present a mighty arsenal when it comes to winning the war on tone: The TDW is easily capable of replacing half of your pedalboard without sacrificing any functionality, so you don't want to be on the frontlines without it!
