{"product_id":"death-by-audio-absolute-destruction-311647","title":"Absolute Destruction","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Pedal Designed to Break Away from the \"Normal Sound\": The Death By Audio Spirit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Absolute Destruction, Death By Audio does not aim to reproduce a classic distortion nor to \"beautify\" your signal: the goal is to shake it up, twist it, then push it into a zone where saturation becomes an effect in its own right. Where many pedals simply add gain, this one plays with circuit overload and starvation to create almost living behaviors: signal collapse, natural gating, sudden return, and that feeling of an amp on the verge of explosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts engine is based on a power amplifier integrated circuit used as a saturation generator, which explains this dense, brutal, and sometimes unpredictable grain (in a good way). Within the DBA range, this pedal clearly belongs to the most radical effects: a pedal made to embrace sonic destruction, not to stay quietly in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Which Styles the Absolute Destruction Excels In\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pedal is aimed at guitarists (and bassists) who like to sculpt a sound that breaks the mold: noise rock, punk, post-hardcore, industrial, stoner, doom, sludge, experimental, and any music where texture matters as much as the note. It's also formidable in the studio for creating aggressive layers, \"broken\" overdubs, or leads that literally cut through the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn stage, it can become your climax weapon: a progressive build-up of violence, then a shift into a starving, gating saturation, perfect for dramatic breaks and collapsing phrase endings. If you're looking for an ultra-docile and transparent pedal, move along\u0026#59; if you want a distortion that strongly reacts to your settings and dynamics, you're in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and Operation: Simple in Appearance, Huge in Possibilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interface gets straight to the point with three sliders that define the overall behavior. \u003cstrong\u003eMASTER VOLUME\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the output volume, handy for compensating level changes depending on the amount of destruction applied. \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e increases distortion by pushing saturation towards thicker, denser textures. And most importantly, \u003cstrong\u003eOVERLOAD\u003c\/strong\u003e determines how far the pedal accepts your signal before tipping into overload: set high, the pedal overloads less\u0026#59; sliding it left accelerates access to destruction and starvation\/gating behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magic (and danger) comes from the interaction between \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOVERLOAD\u003c\/strong\u003e: oppose them to provoke wilder reactions, or lower one of the two to regain a clearer attack and smoother release. The horizontal sliders are \u003cstrong\u003erecessed\u003c\/strong\u003e to limit shocks and accidental movements, a real plus if you play hard, transport your pedalboard often, or adjust your sounds \"with your foot\" in real conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a distortion that can be \u003cstrong\u003ethick, granular, and massive\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also unstable, compressed, and biting when you push the overload. The Absolute Destruction can produce harmonically rich textures, with sensations of \u003cstrong\u003escreaming octaves\u003c\/strong\u003e and sharp edges that transform a simple riff into a wall of sound. Going further, the sound can \"eat itself\": natural gating, notes that cut out, then return with spectacular aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn playing, the pedal has a very tactile character: depending on the OVERLOAD setting, it can shift from a \"playable\" saturation to a destruction machine that reacts to the slightest dynamic change. It's typically the kind of effect that inspires new phrases because it doesn't just amplify what you play: it \u003cstrong\u003einterprets\u003c\/strong\u003e your signal and transforms it into texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eDistortion \/ Overdrive \/ Fuzz, Fuzz, Distortion\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eelectric guitar\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003econtrols the effect\u0026#039;s output volume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10 oz, approximately 284 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverload\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esets the threshold at which the pedal overloads;
