- The Black Mesa is a high-gain distortion pedal inspired by 80s and 90s
extreme, thrash, and crust metal tones.
- It offers the option of being tuned for up to 140+ dB of gain, providing
sonic destruction at the push of a button.
- The pedal features a full onboard EQ, hand-matched and matched transistors,
and is designed to deliver razor-sharp clarity and face-melting solos.
- The design is based on a Mesa Dual Rectifier, providing a very tube amp-
like distortion with massive low end.

tones, making it suitable for sludgy downtuned power chord riffage.
- The presence knob on the pedal is designed to make leads sound razor-sharp
and dangerous.
