Our first foray into the heavy world of Hilbish Design effects was the incredible Red Fang Night Destroyer Distortion Preamp a couple months back. Big and bold, it encompassed Red Fang‘s music and attitude perfectly. Today’s pedal, the Pessimiser King Buzzo Distortion, focuses on the multitude of unique distorted tones coveted by The Melvins‘ leader for decades, bringing them all together into one box.
The Pessimiser features a wide range 3-band (Low, Med, High AF) active EQ, with the ability to boost and cut. The Boost control goes from light overdrive to over the top fuzz. The Mix control lets you go from completely clean tones to full on distortion, and everything in between. The Blast control controls your volume, and this beast works great on guitar, bass, synth, or as a studio effect.
We love a good collaboration pedal, and the second one we’ve seen from Hilbish Design gets us stoked for the future of their lineup. The Pessimiser King Buzzo Distortion will get you that King Buzzo sound, for sure, but can be dialed back for clean boost, slight overdrive and more, for a wide range of gorgeous, amp-driving glory. Thanks to the guys at Hilbish Design once again for letting us check this one out – go see their website to grab yours, and go listen to some Melvins today, for fucks’ sake!
