Hark! That ringing, clanging, ear-splitting bell tolls for thee.

Watch out when you’re foraging on the mountain, you might pick a funeral bell. Those little guys might look like every other LBM* you encounter, but before you know it you’ll be keeled over as the toxin mangles your insides.

As an octave distortion, the funeral bell mangles your signal instead of your bodily functions. The back end is a mashup of 70’s styled hard clipping distortion circuits—ranging from grit to grind—but the magic of the funeral bell lies in the analog octave blend at the front end. As you turn up the octave knob, your riffs get sicker, your leads get sharper, and you complex chords become unrecognizable and incoherent. But it’s not just for doom—lower the gain and push the octave for that 60’s psych thing.

Do you hear it?
