The Wyrmtongue Distortion Pedal For Bass.

Grima, the snake in the ear. Filthy and brutal and yet, soft spoken when he wants. A forked tongue so venomous it can destroy entire generations!

This pedal is no different. A tweaked single Opamp, hard clipping distortion circuit taken from one of the dirtiest pedals in the game and given several major tweaks. The Ruetz control takes the snarling top end out slightly and tames the gain letting you get some lower gain settings and the active clean blend takes the signal entering the pedal and keeps its integrity so when you introduce some it stays strong and present. The toggle Filter, switches some components in the tone stack to give more mid range grunt through the pot sweep.

Lastly we have a 20db clean boost based on the Micro, super clean and very transparent so it doesn’t colour the tone at all but enhances everything! The boost is post distortion so really brings it up that extra level if needed and can also be used independently to help boost anything else on your board.

The Wyrmtongue was born from an idea that came through as a custom order. Eric got in touch and wanted a TurboRODENT bass distortion pedal with the Ruetz mod, a clean blend and output boost. At the time I was thinking of discontinuing the Desolation because I couldn’t get the 2 circuits inside it to work and play exactly how I wanted it. So a big thank you to Eric for getting in touch and letting us work some magic to create this pedal!
