The Total Distortion Worship is a collaboration between Cult FX & Lichtlaerm Audio and the result of an obsessive tone chasing journey in search of the ultimate extreme Metal distortion.


After the limited run of the first Total Distortion Worship sold out in no time, we worked on the production version (aka MkII) for almost a year... and it’s finally here!

We added more gain, expanded the low-end range and replaced the boost with a simplified version of The King in Yellow overdrive. On top of that, we added a focus knob that gives you full control over the mid range, and you can take it all the way into nasty chainsaw territory.

What really takes Total Distortion Worship well beyond the scope of other distortion pedals, is the interplay between its features:

The sheer countless combinations and fine-tuning capabilities between the overdrive, EQ and mid focus as well as the cut knob, present a mighty arsenal when it comes to winning the war on tone: The TDW is easily capable of replacing half of your pedalboard without sacrificing any functionality.
