Lichtlaerm Audio The King in Yellow High Gain Distortion / Preamp PedalAbsolutely ferocious high-gain distortion from Lichtlaerm Audio in Berlin, Germany. The King in Yellow delivers modern aggressive gain with outstanding clarity, tight low end, and enough flexibility to cover everything from crushing rhythm tones to saturated lead work.Inspired by the cosmic horror mythology surrounding “The King in Yellow,” this pedal feels every bit as ominous and massive as the name suggests. Unlike a lot of high-gain pedals that get fizzy or overly compressed, the King in Yellow stays articulate and focused — especially with down-tuned guitars and heavier styles.This thing works exceptionally well as both a standalone distortion into a clean amp and as a front-end tone-shaping weapon into already-driven amps. Tons of attack, excellent note separation, and a very refined top end that avoids harshness.The built-in controls allow you to dial in everything from tight modern metal tones to thicker, doomier textures while still maintaining clarity and punch.Works phenomenally with Marshall-style amps, EVH/5150 circuits, Mesa, Friedman, Synergy rigs, clean pedal platforms, and recording setups.Features:Modern high-gain distortion / preamp pedalTight low end with excellent note definitionExtremely articulate for down-tuned guitarsWide tonal flexibilityHandmade in Berlin, GermanyKiller modern metal and hard rock tonesCondition:Very clean and fully functional.
