The Death By Audio Waveform Destroyer is an analogue distortion pedal
It has four footswitches with an 8 position internal DIP switch, giving eight externally selectable fuzz combinations from the footswitches and up to 500 distinct tonal combinations when the internal DIP settings are factored in.
It’s a pedal designed for players who want to lock in their sound and not have to think about knobs during a performance.
Four dedicated footswitches each handle a different function: Engage turns the effect on and off, Boost adds a hyper booster stage, Filter engages an advanced EQ filter, and Blast is the extremity switch. Each can be work alone or in combination, and the internal DIP switch changes the underlying character of all four.
Controls
- Engage footswitch: Turns the Waveform Destroyer on and off. True bypass.
- Boost footswitch: Adds a hyper booster stage to the signal.
- Filter footswitch: Engages an advanced EQ filter.
- Blast footswitch: The extremity switch — maximum chaos.
- Internal 8-position DIP switch: Accessed by opening the pedal. Sets the underlying fuzz character, multiplying the four external footswitch combinations into up to 500 distinct tonal combinations.
- The eight DIP switches are: Overload 1, Overload 2, Thin/Full, Trash/Smooth, Deep/Wide, Norm/Shift, Break/Saw, Crush/Blast.
Engage switches the pedal on. Boost comes next and, depending on the DIP settings, can act as a big boost, a bass boost, a treble boost or a mid-notch. Filter adds a boosted filter stage for a big tonal shift, and Blast takes it OTT!
