Description
Bogner didn’t shrink the Uberschall amp down for convenience — they replicated its snarling high-gain channel inside a stompbox so it could sit at the front of your board and do exactly what the amp does. This is the pedal players nicknamed “Armageddon in a Box,” and once you push the gain past the midpoint, you’ll understand why. It covers respectable low-to-mid gain territory too, but that’s not really the point. This thing is built to melt faces.
Under the hood, Reinhold Bogner used five discrete Class A gain stages paired with diode clipping, following the same signal path found in the Uberschall amp’s lead channel. That’s why the distortion here stays articulate instead of collapsing into fuzz — individual notes and chord voicings stay separated even when you’re running heavy gain, and pick attack still comes through in the sound.
Power it with a 9V battery or standard 9VDC supply; internal circuitry boosts that voltage well beyond 9V, which is what gives the pedal its touch-sensitive, amp-like dynamic response rather than a flat, compressed distortion feel.
Features:
- True bypass
- Full tone-shaping control: volume, treble, middle, bass, and gain
- Independent boost function with its own illuminated volume control
- Input, output, and remote jacks — remote allows external switching of On/Off and boost
- Low battery LED indicators that blink when voltage drops critically low
- Premium build: double-sided gold-plated circuit boards, German WIMA capacitors, Japanese Nichicon capacitors, gold-plated relays, and Carling switches
This unit is a demo model — fully functional, ready for the front of your signal chain.
