High-Five! The High-Five from Mr Black is an instant power chord generator pedal that is encased in a shining chrome powder coat. This is especially cool with distortion and/or for lead tones! Just dial in the level you’d like for your dry signal, then rotate your 5th and Oct controls to the level and direction you’d like your transposed notes to perform!

Key Features

  • Simple Controls – Instantly dial the exact tone you need quickly, so you have more time for playing!
  • True Bypass – Fear no loss of signal in your signal chain with true bypass.

Controls

Three simple and intuitive controls allow you to dial in the output level of your dry signal, your octave (either high or low), and your natural fifth (either 5 notes above, or 4 notes below) giving you an instant power chord from one single note!

Output levels: -∞dB – +3dB for each voice, with subtle and gentle flutter recreating the natural resonance and intermodulation of a strong power-chord.

Hand-built

Like all Mr. Black pedals, the Mr. Black High-Five is hand-built, one at a time, using exclusively premium components.

Specifications

Power with either an internal 9V battery (not included) or your choice of “industry standard” 9VDC pedal power, consuming approximately 59mA @ 9VDC.

Their designs blend boutique craftsmanship with a touch of sonic magic, giving guitarists tools that spark inspiration and stand out both on stage and in the studio.

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.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Octave

An octave pedal shifts your guitar signal up or down by one or more octaves, blending the altered pitch with your original sound to create a fuller, more complex tone. It can add a deep, bass-like layer underneath your playing or a shimmering high octave on top for lead lines and solos. Classic analogue octave pedals often produce slightly gritty, organic sounds, while modern digital versions track more precisely and can offer multiple octave ranges.

Octave pedals are great for thickening single-note riffs, creating synth-style textures, or even mimicking bass parts when playing alone. They pair well with fuzz or overdrive pedals for massive, harmonically rich tones. Whether you’re after vintage Hendrix-style octave fuzz or a modern polyphonic sound that tracks chords cleanly, an octave pedal opens up a world of creative possibilities and adds real weight and character to your tone.
