Y’all know the band Red Fang? Well, if ya don’t, ya should. A mix of punk, metal, thrash and sludge, they’ve been tearing up venues around the world since their inception in 2005 (we used to love seeing them at the Neurolux in Boise). As this Covid-19 pandemic has hit us all, musical acts are one of the most affected, and today’s pedal gives a little back to one of our favorites. The Hilbish Design Red Fang Night Destroyer is a dual channel distortion and preamp that’s sure to melt faces the planet over…
Hilbish Design took the the Sunn Beta series amplifiers that Red Fang is famous for using and stuffed them into a big ole 8×6 heavy duty, pedal-sized enclosure. So whether you are on stage or in your bedroom you can shred with the same amazing tone. Here’s a bit of a breakdown to see how it works:
Top row controls Channel A, bottom row controls Channel B.
Drive: controls the amount of gain. From clean boost to fuzzed out!
Bass, Mid, Treble: three band active EQ controls can cut and boost, set center for flat response.
Level: controls the overall level of each channel.
Master: controls the overall level of the effect (not active when using ch a/ch b outputs).
——
Bypass: when using the INST output this footswitch switches between the clean instrument signal and the effect signal. when using any of the other outputs (CHA, CHB, line, balanced) the bypass switch acts as a mute switch.
Both Channels: When activated, turns both channel A and B on.
A/B Toggle: toggles between Channel A (red) and Channel B (green).
——
Input: instrument level input for guitar, bass, synth, or whatever other noise maker you have.
CH A Out: line level output for Channel A only.
CH B Out: line level output for Channel B only.
INST Out: instrument level output, use for “effect pedal” operation into a guitar or bass amp.
Line Out: line level output for use with power amp, mixing board, or DI.
Balanced out: TRS balanced out for DI applications that require long cable runs.
Limited to just 150 units worldwide, the Red Fang Night Destroyer Distortion Preamp is an effect unit that any musician and fan, of Red Fang or heavy music in general, needs in their arsenal (plus, it’ll be an excellent conversation starter between sets at the local pub). In addition, half of the money from each pedal sold goes directly to the band, which is a great cause, and a great way to keep supporting your favorite musicians. The Hilbish Design Red Fang Night Destroyer Distortion Preamp is FULL of different tones, amp-inspiring dirt and a ton of ways to connect to any live or recording rig you can imagine.
Cheers to Hilbish Design for finding a way to collaborate with and help out some great guys, and make a killer pedal at the same time. We explore lots of different avenues in our demo below, make sure you sit through the ENTIRE thing to hear all the ways the Night Destroyer can be utilized – cheers!
