The Evol Fucifier is a distortion synthesizer & sound shaper, designed to give you many colors with which to create and shape your palette of sounds. Everything in the signal chain, from the discrete Mic Pre, the Vintage Germanium Preamp, the Analog Filter, and the inductors in the Equalizer to the output transformer, is designed to be overdriven, saturated, overloaded or distorted in a pleasing way. Mix & match the Vintage Germanium Preamp for a little warmth or overdrive, the Tape Saturation overdrive for a little compression and limiting or a bit of signal saturation, the Analog Filter/Crossover (which in itself sounds great overdriven, and can be driven into self oscillation), the Dual Band Distortion which allows you to mix many different types of distortion, and the vintage-style inductor based equalizer to shape the overall tone and color of the sound.

"I'm a distortion fanatic and I've tried every box, pedal and plug in on the market. When I heard the Fucifier I instantly fell in love with it. I'm using it in every mix, it does amazing things to Bass and Vocals and can bring even the plainest sound to life.

"More crunchy than a Crunchie, more distorted than the Daily Mail, the Evol Fucifier is a high-end effects processor with a price tag to match. If you thought distortion came in only vanilla and chocolate flavours, here's a giant tub of Jalapeno, Guacamole, Chili and Brimstone to rewire your taste buds! Cue demonic laughter and fade..."
