Project overview

Can you hear that buzz?! It sounds like we’re being swarmed by an army of blood-thirsty wasps… oh, no worries, actually it’s Steve testing his new Nordic Metal pedal!

Introduction

Nordic Metal is inspired by the one and only Metal Zone. The unmistakable sounding circuit comes with a complete list of mods that is able to change the wasp nest into a metal sculpting machine.

TREBLE, MIDS, BASS, VOLUME, MID-FREQ and GAIN are the 6 knobs available on this pedal. VOLUME allows setting the loudness of the engaged unit. GAIN is the control over how metal the pedal sounds, and let’s not lie to ourselves here – this knob will be stuck at the max all the time, we guarantee you. TREBLE, MIDS, and BASS are the pots responsible for the equalization of the tone, covering a full range of frequencies – from the top, through the mids, down to the low bass. MID-FREQ allows you to to finetune the central frequency of the MIDS control to give your tone its unique character. In fact, the EQ controls of this pedal are so powerful that they might end up in a separate circuit… watch this space!

This build allows you to choose between multiple mods such as Diezel mod, Boogie/Bogner mod, Keeley mod, Waza Craft mod, and single components replacement that will allow you to craft your own perfect version of this pedal.

If you consider yourself a true metalhead, then there is nothing to think about twice. The Nordic Metal pedal is a must-have for any self-respecting sonic annihilator!
