About TC Electronic Dark Matter Distortion

Let the Dark Matter Distortion Effect Foot Pedal by TC Electronic redefine your music experience. This innovative and high-quality guitar pedal is designed to create a distortion effect that is both classic and modern, making it a versatile addition to your audio equipment.

The Dark Matter pedal is more than just a distortion device; it's a musical instrument that invites you to explore a super-wide range of sounds. At its core, it features an all analog-drive circuit that harks back to the plexi sounds of yesteryears, yet it also embraces the modern edge. The result is a low compression, lively response that reacts to your playing style, delivering a vintage-voiced distortion with an extreme dynamic range.

This user-friendly and durable pedal is equipped with a 2-band EQ and a voicing switch for precise sound manipulation. The true bypass feature ensures optimal signal integrity, while the gain, level, bass, and treble controls allow for easy sound customization.

The Dark Matter pedal also boasts an easy battery access, a small footprint, and high-quality components, making it a road-ready design perfect for both studio and live performances.

One of the standout features of this pedal is its unique analog-digital design. This allows for a wider range of sound manipulation capabilities compared to traditional analog pedals. Whether you're channeling the grunge sound of 90s Seattle, the early crunch of AC/DC, or the iconic tone of Van Halen, the Dark Matter pedal has you covered.

The mini toggle feature allows for a cool mid-shift, instantly changing from a modern aggressive sound to a retro, yet still aggressive hot-rodded type. The active bass knob lets you add thundering lows or cut to shape your sound, while the treble knob adds clarity to complex chords and high-end sparkle.

With the Dark Matter Distortion Effect Foot Pedal, you're not just playing music; you're creating an auditory experience. It's the sound that begs you to play harder, louder, faster, and more. Experience the fullness, the reality, and the danger of sound that's thoroughly musical with the Dark Matter pedal.
