This is the latest guitar distortion pedal in the Twin Tube line
from Seymour Duncan and it's well and truly built to achieve a mid-range
scooped metal guitar sound. The pedal also features a boost button
which will put your distortion over the top for solos. The tubes in this
pedal are 62051 pentode tubes which will last a lifetime without
needing to be replaced and will deliver great distortion for everything
from old school metal to modern thrash.
The Twin Tube Mayhem allows the tubes to really reach their full potential with a 100% vacuum tube signal, this also allows for the maximum in dynamic range to be achieved. As already stated, the pedal is built for metal guitar and the levels of distortion are already very high even with the knob at just 25%. In the higher reaches with the distortion levels on maximum you get some great harmonic response particularly on artificial harmonics produced with the pick.
The boost function is selectable between 4 to 8dB which allows you to set up the correct levels between your rhythm and lead sounds. As with most quality pedals of this kind it features a true bypass and is very quiet in its operation due to a encapsulated toroidal transformer. The pedal is clearly built to last and it's circuitry is housed inside a very rugged steel chassis which should be ultra dependable no matter what kind of abuse it suffers at gigs or on the road.
If you're in the market for a metal distortion pedal and want to stay true to tube distortion then give this pedal a try. It's from a quality manufacturer and getting good review ratings from the other people who have bought it.
