Wretched Witch

This is the Wretched Witch- heavily inspired by the tones of Burning Witch, the lowest, slowest, darkest music project to ever have been concocted by humanity. A band, that shaped what I perceived as dark and rotten in music. While Burning Witch is not known to use this circuit, as soon as I stomped it on it reminded me of Crippled Lucifer tone.

It is a Sunn Beta Lead Preamp circuit in a box, with an independent , one knob pre RAT for the ultimate doom combo. (rat section has internal trimpots to set the gain and filter)

This circuit has me grinning when its on. I always wanted to own a Beta amp, but I got into guitar way too late, when SUNN amps started getting hype.

I have had the honor of using a real beta amplifier, and this pedal does a stellar job of capturing the way it makes you feel, in a smaller, portable format.

The preamp loves to be dirty. 

This circuit works perfect into the effects loop/straight into the power amp as a stand alone preamp. It gets that SUNN growl and loudness, as this pedal has loads of volume available. I mean LOADS. It is probably louder than your amps actual preamp.

Also sounds amazing as a pre-preamplifier gain stage- meaning plugged straight into the front end of the amp. The beta lead drive does not have a typical gain texture, as it utilizes CMOS stages. This is rather uncommon, and results in a one of a kind drive flavor.

There is only an external volume knob for the rat side, but there are internal trimpots for the tone cut and the gain so you can set them to your liking. 

I love this pedal so much, it sounds so stellar and I LOVE the tone stack characteristics. This Beta Lead Preamp circuit really has a unique saturation character as well, that I have yet to find in another circuit.

Mr. Twilight will go on record and say, this pedal, along with the Arrakis, are the best amp in a box pedals I have tested.
