’It’s not just about volume or gain—it’s about attitude. Thick low-end, snarling mids, and wild harmonics make the Black Phillip a perfect tool for creating massive walls of fuzzed-out tone.’ ~ Boring Gear Reviews

‘This is a really fat and chonky distortion, with equal amounts of low-end thumb and high-end bite on hand and, of course, an obscene quantity of gain!’ ~ Pedal Experiments

Black Phillip is a distortion/fuzz pedal based on a very popular one-knob high-gain circuit, but a few additions make it a unit of its own. With smooth gain and a mid-rich tone control alongside a clean-blend knob, it’s equally suitable for both guitar and bass.

Black Philip is an effect pedal with attitude. Turning the guitar volume knob down will further reduce the gain – a slight back-off will make it sound like a dirty overdrive, and if you set it to a close-to-zero position will make your overall guitar tone crunchy and slightly brighter.

Controls:

Gain – This is a pre-gain knob which controls the signal volume going into the pedal. It goes from "a lot" to "even more".

Tone - This Big Muff style tone control keeps a good amount of midrange while cutting the highs and lows.

Level – This one sets the output volume of the pedal. There is a lot of headroom on it!

Blend – Splits the input signal and blends the clean signal into the dirt circuit. Set it to the middle position for a 50% clean and distorted signal. Move it to the right to completely remove the distorted signal.
