The Hell Melter features expanded controls and tonal capabilities, allowing the already in-your-face sound of the pedal to broaden by switching to more open clipping options and boosting the internal voltage for increased headroom, less compression, and more attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed as the ultimate in high-gain tone, this world-famous distortion circuit is known for the death metal sounds of Sweden’s Entombed and the shoegaze wash of My Bloody Valentine. It’s even found a home in the rig of David Gilmour!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EHX Hell Melter’s expanded control set includes Gain and Level controls, and a powerful active EQ featuring with parametric mids for improved versatility. The Dry level control allows for blending your input signal for improved low-end when used with a bass or even blending in other distorted tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoost Footswitch engages an input gain boost and volume boost which is internally adjustable.

The middle position leaves high frequencies flat. Tip: the frequencies controlled by the HIGH Knob are slightly lower than a typical 'treble' control, allowing you to produce searing highs without a lot of treble harshness. To emphasize even higher 'treble' frequencies, turn the HIGH knob below the middle position, and increase the LEVEL knob to re-emphasize treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Knob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides active boost or cut to the bass frequency range.

As the knob is turned clockwise, the amount of dry signal increases. At the minimum position, no dry signal is mixed into the output. Tip: this is especially useful to maintain note clarity when stacking the Hell Melter with a dirty amp or another gain pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGate Mini Knob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removes unwanted hum by adjusting the noise floor threshold. The gate mutes the OUTPUT jack when the signal at the INPUT jack is below the threshold setting of the GATE knob. As GATE is turned clockwise, a louder guitar signal at the INPUT jack is required to unmute the OUTPUT jack. Set GATE fully counter-clockwise to disable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoost Level Internal Trimmer:\u003c\/strong\u003e This trimmer controls the additional volume added when Boost Mode is active. To access it, remove the 4 screws on the back plate of the Hell Melter, and locate the trimmer next to the BOOST Footswitch. Taking care not to touch the rest of the circuitry of the board, turn this trimmer clockwise using a small flat-head screwdriver to increase the volume boost. At the minimum position, Boost Mode provides no volume boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoost Footswitch and Yellow LED:\u003c\/strong\u003e This footswitch engages Boost Mode, adding extra gain at the input of the circuit, and adjustable volume boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffect Footswitch and Red LED:\u003c\/strong\u003e This footswitch engages or bypasses the effect.
