Description
The Does It Doom Aghartha Drone Distortion Preamp is what happens when you take the mythical Sunn O))) Model T sound, mash it together with a mighty RAT distortion, and forge them into a single earth‑shaking tone machine. Created in collaboration with Nick Williams of Dunwich Amplification, this thing is built for players who want their riffs to rumble the tectonic plates!
A high‑voltage fusion of doom legends
Blending two legendary circuits into one towering drone engine, the Aghartha runs at a whopping 36V of internal headroom for that big, open, tube‑like response doom players crave. At its core, you’ve got a JFET emulation of the centre input from an early ’70s first‑gen Sunn O))) Model T preamp — the holy grail of subterranean tone.
Grimm control
Front and centre sits the Grimm control, which governs how much of a specially‑tweaked RAT circuit you blend into the mix:
Keep it all the way down, and you’re treated to pure Model T‑style crunch — an ideal pedal‑platform doom tone in its own right.
Start turning it clockwise, and you’ll drift through an ever‑expanding universe of saturation, textures and gritty harmonic landscapes.
Key Features
Grimm control: Controls the wet/dry blend of a boosted RAT-style distortion into a Sunn O))) Model T preamp. Use it as a traditional distortion pedal into the front of your amp, or crank the internal MASTER trim pot to push the output level for running the Aghartha directly into your amp’s effects return or a dedicated power amp.
Relay-based, true bypass soft switching: Silent, reliable switching with a sealed relay for long‑term durability and zero tone colouration when bypassed.
Internal master volume trim pot: Fine‑tune the overall output level from subtle pedal‑front drive to full‑on preamp power.
Adjustable LED brightness: An internal trim pot lets you set the status LED brightness exactly where you like it — from subtle glow to stage‑blinding beacon.
Premium components: Built using Neutrik input/output jacks, a Lumberg power jack, an ORMAT knob, an Alpha potentiometer, a sealed relay, a metal LED bezel and mil‑spec aircraft‑grade wire for unmatched reliability and performance.
