Collateral FX The Lost Fingers of the Hand of Doom

Active ingredient - A carefully selected germanium transistor to add texture to your clean sound or bring clarity and gain to your already dirty amplifier.

Recommended for - Guitarists looking to cut through the mix and add more grit to their amplifier while cleaning up the low frequencies—or anyone seeking a preamp full of personality to enrich their tone.

The Lost Fingers of the Hand of Doom is a pedal that, in both name and sound, pays tribute to the legendary Tony Iommi, guitarist of Black Sabbath. His tone is one of the hardest to replicate in guitar history, and this is due to several factors. Among them is his use of the ultra-rare and long-discontinued Laney Supergroup amplifier, pushed to extreme saturation by a Rangemaster.

The Rangemaster is a famous germanium treble booster, also used by Brian May and Rory Gallagher—yet its name scares off many players who have never tried the pedal. What it does isn’t exactly a treble boost—it cuts lows, accentuates high mids, and drives gain, both through its high output volume and the considerable clipping from its germanium transistor. The Lost Fingers modernizes and expands this functionality: using an NPN germanium transistor (which allows powering via a standard Boss-style adapter) selected for the lowest noise level—the pedal also features a Range control. At minimum, it works like an original Rangemaster, but as you turn it clockwise, it allows more low frequencies to pass through the circuit, reaching a full-range boost. This makes the circuit more versatile for different guitar and amplifier voicings, not only tightening up distorted tones and reducing muddiness but also pushing all frequencies of your guitar across various tunings.

On top of that, when used in full-range mode, it serves as an excellent preamp to warm up your sound and bring out all the texture of the germanium transistor, with an explosion of complex harmonics and subtle compression. The circuit is optimized to be used right after your guitar, before buffers, and preferably without a wireless transmitter.

The Lost Fingers of the Hand of Doom is a pedal built with the finest components on the market, designed for the most demanding guitarists who seek the best possible tones from their instrument and amplifier.
