Would you like to effortlessly soar through the cosmos, but return home on demand? Well, Mr. Black have a first-class ticket just for you! Their Heaven's Gate pedal is a beautiful and unique reverberator, designed and intended for use as a special musical compliment for those that require just the right tool for a special job.

Heaven's Gate operates very much like a standard reverb pedal, however the unit also gives you instantaneous control of all the reverb you create, allowing you to make your reflections and ambience instantly appear or disappear at your whim. Simply stop playing or mute your note(s) and the Heaven's Gate will quickly and smoothly depart, returning you to the crisp and grounded space you just launched from — as though you never applied any reverb at all!

Simple Controls

Three intuitive controls deliver a quick and simple setup, and you can dial the Heaven's Gate in to match your tempos, riffs and style(s) bringing explosive energy to your song, riff, or passage, gracefully and automatically! Deliberate and nuanced control of your attack and playing will reward you with new textures, tones and inspiration previously only possible via constant and continual simultaneous adjustments of multiple reverb parameters.

While the Heaven's Gate is certainly not a jack-of-all-trades, it is an absolute master of its domain. Mr. Black recommend placing your Heaven's Gate after all dynamically controlled effects (e.g.: ovedrive/distortion/fuzz/envelope-filters/compressors/etc.), and potentially before your delay/echo devices.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.

Reverb

A reverb pedal is like the rich sauce that ties every flavour on the plate into one smooth experience. It adds depth, warmth, and atmosphere — the sonic equivalent of a perfectly reduced glaze that lingers on the tongue. Whether you’re after the subtle ambience of a cosy café (spring or plate reverb) or the grand echoes of a cathedral (hall or shimmer reverb), this is where your tone breathes and expands. A touch of reverb can turn a dry sound into something lush and inviting — but pour on too much, and it’s all you can taste. Used with finesse, it’s the finishing touch that transforms your tone from plain to unforgettable.
