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

The Amber Spyglass is a super flexible solution for people who are looking for both a boost or an EQ-pedal! With 4 perfectly chosen bands it allows you to tailor your sound pre- or post gain with drastically different results: put it in front of your amp, cut the bass to tighten the sound and push the high mids to get cutting leads or push the low mids for syrupy sludge sounds and change the gain structure of your overdriven sounds! In the fx-loop or after your distortion pedal it changes the whole frequency spectrum of your tone: add bass to make it fat and warm, cut low mid muddyness for tight, modern sounds or tame harsh highs. It’s all possible with its 4 non-interactive, constant-Q filters. The pedal has extreme headroom, super low noise floor and allows for a full-range boost of up to 16dB! In addition to this you’ll find a semi parametric mid-control that allows you even more control over the frequencies where the guitar really lives: the mids!

Amber Spyglass

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

As it’s been one of the most requested pedals for us to bring back to life we decided to not just re-launch but redesign the circuit to give you even more flexibility and the most cohesive package on the market!
We took the first design and moved the boost into the core circuit resulting in up to three times the gain the classic chainsaw pedal offers you while also allowing you in to use our well-known cut control to shape the low end and create punchy palm mutes that the original was never capable of.
