Black Arts Toneworks · pedal
The Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer V2 combines the Ritual V2 and Oath circuits in a unified dual-mode enclosure, spanning from a controllable high-gain fuzz wall through to a savage, preamp-style annihilator. The Ritual V2 side provides aggressive but manageable high-gain fuzz with extended sustain, while the Oath adds extreme compressed distortion with a more compressed and chaotic high-gain character. Designed for extreme metal, doom, and noise-rock applications where raw sonic aggression is the primary requirement.
