Black Arts Toneworks Dual Revelation Custom
Black Arts Toneworks · pedal
The Black Arts Toneworks Revelation is a loud, aggressive boost and overdrive designed to magnify and multiply your amp rather than reshape it, using a simple Pre Gain, Gain and Volume layout to slam the front end of an amp with raw frequencies. It has a vintage, mid focused growl that turns fuzzy as gain and volume climb, and it shines pushing an already aggressive amp, distortion or fuzz into thicker, louder saturation. The Dual Revelation Custom pairs Revelation circuits, drawing on the rawer, mid forward SuperLead voice and the rounder, bassier SuperBass voice the line is known for. It suits hard rock, doom, stoner and heavy players who want a brutal, transparent volume and gain boost.
