The Germanium Filter is Death By Audio’s love letter to sticking a pencil in your speaker. Start with a console-style drive circuit, add in a dash of obsolete germanium transistors, and finish it off with a super intense DBA-style filter - BLAMO! You’ve got a sound heavy enough to crush on and sharp enough to slice a tomato.

Main features:
• Filtered Germanium Distortion Pedal
• Based on a console-style drive circuit
• Uses vintage Germanium transistors
• Huge Gain range - Sweeps from mild overdrive to blasted-out fuzz
• Filter section for detailed control of the drives frequency response - for huge low end, scooped mids, and sharp, piercing highs
• Controls interact with the guitar’s volume control
• Internal Volume trimpot - for set-and-forget control of overall output level
• True Bypass Switching
• Compact footprint and top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard mounting
• Powered by regular 9 V DC PSU

The Filter control is extremely unconventional - it’ll take you from bottomless, sub-woofered out lows to super searing and brittle highs, with a universe of tone in between. The Germanium Filter will help you find the sweet spot for your instrument in any situation - at a show, in the studio, or even stranded on the side of the highway after your tour van catches fire - hey, it happens!

The Gain knob starts with a dirty boost that then spans through saturated drive, spitting distortion, and a blistering fuzz tone. Get ready for your sound to be cranked up to infinity-and-a-half and captured on tape by the most incredible recording engineer you’ve ever heard - only there’s no engineer and no studio. Just you, your guitar, your amp and the Germanium Filter.
