Death By Audio
Description

The Death by Audio Thee Treble Overload boost distortion drive pedal takes the infamous treble-forward circuit from the original Thee Fuzz War Overload and rebuilds it into a sharper, louder, and more flexible weapon for modern players. Engineered to slice through dense mixes with over 60dB of gain, it delivers a bright, aggressive edge that can act as a precise cutting boost or erupt into raw, high-impact distortion. A LIMIT control helps rein in output for tighter tones or lets you push your amp and pedals into explosive breakup. With dual-mono TRS I/O for true stereo processing, Thee Treble Overload adds definition and punch to everything from reverbs and delays to synths and fuzz stacks, all inside a compact, rugged enclosure built for stage abuse and studio experimentation.

Treble-Forward Circuitry for Cutting Precision

Thee Treble Overload’s revived circuit trims away bass to emphasize presence, articulation, and upper-range bite. This approach gives overdrives, fuzzes, and stereo effects a sharpened contour that stands out without getting harsh or brittle. Whether used to tighten the front of your chain, lift solos above a loud band, or brighten dark-voiced gear, the pedal’s BOOST and LIMIT controls make dialing in the right amount of cut, grit, and gain effortless.

Stereo-Friendly Dual Mono Design

With TRS inputs and outputs, Thee Treble Overload handles stereo sources with ease, making it a powerful tool for shaping spatial effects, keyboards, or multi-amp guitar rigs. Its ability to add edge, saturation, or level to both channels simultaneously gives stereo reverbs and delays new life, enhancing depth and clarity while keeping your signal bold and defined. It also integrates cleanly with other pedals in the Destroyer Series for more complex ambient or experimental setups.

Rugged Build and Player-Focused Controls

A simple BOOST/LIMIT interface gives you immediate tonal control on stage, while the durable metal chassis protects the circuitry from the wear and tear of touring. A vintage-style glowing LED adds visibility in low-light environments, and the compact footprint keeps pedalboards streamlined. Powered by standard 9V DC, Thee Treble Overload is a reliable, high-impact tool for players who want their tone to cut through with authority and personality.
