The Mr Black Thunderclaw is a loud and very heavy high gain distortion pedal made for those moments where civility is not required and you just want pure unadulterated metal tones. Described by Mr Black as a ‘downright mean, ruthless pedal’ the Thunderclaw sets out to take over clean amplifiers around the globe and it seems to be doing so successfully.

Fully Active Tone Controls

This is something that oddly enough you do not find on all pedals. All of the controls in this circuit are active meaning that you get much more control over your tone as you can both boost and cut the high and low end. With both the Treble and Bass controls turned to noon you have neither a boost nor a cut to the EQ meaning turned counter clockwise you cut the frequencies and turned clockwise you boost them. At the end of the day this gives you more control over your tone.

Gain On Tap

You have probably heard a high gain pedal before but I doubt a lot of you have heard one that has this much gain on tap while still remaining clear. Anyone can make a pedal that just turns the gain up to 20 but it takes a pedal masters like the guys at Mr Black to make it clear and crisp so you can hear every detail. Turning the gain control up to noon will give you enough gain to please most people but for those that like to downtune and get those really heavy tones take up even further for some truly stunning tones.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
