With its take on the cult-classic, chainsaw distortion pedal, the EHX Hell Melter takes distortion to its extremes. The Hell Melter features expanded controls and tonal capabilities, allowing the already in-your-face sound of the pedal to broaden by switching to more open clipping options and boosting the internal voltage for increased headroom, less compression, and more attack.
Originally designed as the ultimate in high-gain tone, this world-famous distortion circuit is known for the death metal sounds of Sweden’s Entombed and the shoegaze wash of My Bloody Valentine. It’s even found a home in the rig of David Gilmour!
The Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter distortion pedal’s expanded control set includes Gain and Level controls, and a powerful active EQ featuring with parametric mids for improved versatility. The Dry level control allows for blending your input signal for improved low-end when used with a bass or even blending in other distorted tones.
Boost Footswitch engages an input gain boost and volume boost which is internally adjustable. The Normal/Burn switch toggles between the classic chainsaw sound and the more open clipping option.

It melts hell. Finally an ehx pedal geared towards worship bands.
Exactly! I didn't even know Hell had frozen over until just now.
Good one man :D
Very clever. 😂
Lmao "worship bands"
Killer
Holy crap! EHX has been absolutely killing it with these past few releases.
I like the shoegaze section, for all the talk about kevin Shields massive fuzz and distortion section of his board there isnt much talk about the use of the HM2 all over loveless
That's because it wasn't likely used at all on Loveless, or any studio album, and was only used for a period during live performances by Bilinda.
Can't wait to see this on an Ola Englund episode of "Will it Chug?" EDIT - Section with the bass guitar totally nailed that "Duncan Hills Coffee" tone!
Dry blend is so good. I have enough EHX dirt/fuzz/drive/noise pedals as it is, really, but this one's really outstandingt
I like the shoegaze whammy riff
That was pretty badass, tbh.
very well done, tons of respect to the team behind this video for the song choice and the variety of styles demonstrated!
sounds absolutely incredible! thats a fantastic demo yall
Man, totally great tone and looks here. Flexible dirt box!
Wow, this is badass sounding and looking!
I think ALL high-gain dirt, distortion, AND fuzz pedals should have blend and noisegate capabilities - way to lead the pack, EHX! - keep 'em comin'!
🤘😎💥
Sounds great and potentially very versatile.
Considering you used a Solar guitar, hopefully you sent Ola one of these pedals to demo. I bet he'd have a lot of fun with it.
That's a clean burnin' hell I tell you huwhat
🤔 This may actually get on my list, a distortion pedal of all things! Nice features.
the clean blend, mid frequency, and gate knobs are all nice features. i want to hear the tone with the distortion knob lowered and run into a lightly overdriven amp though (the best way to use a HM2 imo)
sick playing
Today I was going to buy the Walrus HM-2 clone until I received an EHX UA-cam notification. Now, as a GPS, I'm recalculating! 🤘🤘🤘
epic sound, an ad I don't skip when I see.
The artwork reminds me something from the game Doom !
Hell yeah!!! Another EHX winner! Right on Mike Matthews!!! \m/
Wow, that intro sound.... Instant Morbid Angel tone
Wow !!!
That’s a great tone
and a cool solar guitar!!
EH digging into the dirt
Hey, I think this guy raided my closet. That's my EHX shirt!
This sounds totally wicked but I can't buy it......for a few weeks until the newness of my Lizard Queen wears off.
Best ad I've gotten since my free premium ended. That soothing, dirty clogged engine sound that I envy, though I'm a bass player. I've been into the idea of being a one-man hand, and have been wanting to get into guitars soon. This pedal would be sweet.
Holy fuck the dry blend. Sounds like Bog Body & Dragged Into Sunlight. I hope I win!
Noice. Just an all-round good idea for a pedal.
Would be interesting to hear a head to head against the metal muff. They sound very similar.
Os caras trouxeram o seu madruga cabeludo do chaves para tocar guitarra do além!
Just put my order in, sounds sick!
Love EHX is getting into Lone Wolf territory. No doubts this will be great. Sounds awesome!
"New York City?!...Get the Rope...". I didn't even know Hell had finally frozen over till now.
Gotta love EHX ❤️
Ay Heavy Tonezzzzz
Sounds awesome.
The last part sounded like a valve tone but the heavy distortion parts sounds more solid state than anything. Seems versatile enough being able to add the extra effects with crarity.
Sick Solar Type V 🔥
If the pedal can't deliver try riding the train on something else 😂
Super versatile for how simple the controls are. Vnice
That last section with the black solar V; riffs sounded great. Suffocation/Immolation vibes?
Finally a pedal for modern tones!
Woof! Sounds sooo nice.
I’m IN!!
Those low tuned Solar Riffs were really tasty 👌🏽
Stop. My bank account is crying
It’s glorious
Sick!
I like it, it kinda seems like a hot rodded Metal Zone with a boost, blend knob and noise gate integrated.
at the gates
YES!
HM-2 style circuit with a dry blend and a built in gate is very interesting and makes this a very useful pedal, y'all sell this bleacher EHX shirt or is that a custom made one hes wearing?
Cory made the shirt himself. We're all very jealous of it!
Yes.
I do like the pedal. Really bought it for the cult chainsaw sound which sounds bad to the bone. Idk if I would use everything outta it but it be a pedal I'll keep on my pedal board. Plus it's nice with the bass cause of the dry signal. Thank u ehx.
I already have two Amp Tweaker pedals, just like this. But the price is actually pretty freaking good! Compared to similar products, $300 and up!
This is epic!!! When is it available @ehx ???
excellent video, many congratulations... by chance does anyone know of an effect or pedal that emulates the sound of the double bass?
perfect...again!!!
EHX: Doom-in-a-Box since 1969
Literally JUST bought a metal muff.. I guess I’ll have to buy this one as well….
You too? Lol
Christ Im gunna end up in a divorce court if I keep buying EHX goodies !!!
Brutality!
It is melting my fricken amp ! Killer !
That “instant shoegaze” lol 😂 😆
Clean blend hm with gate is a great bass recipe
Pretty neat take on the kvlt classic Boss HM2.
I’m surprised more ppl haven’t commented that 🎸
Celtic Frost in a box ! Take my money !
My first thought was that I wonder what Ola would think, and sure enough a Solar guitar is featured in this video 😏
Great to see a more widely available version of this mod concept.
Great tones, and I'm sure, the usual solid EHX quality.
The design though, yikes.
From a company with such a rich design and typography history I'd have expected something less 'my first heavy metal' thing.
Whatever though, it's ultimately the sound that's important... and it sounds as it should.
A bit like the Grindstein pedal… Brutal though 🤘🏼
That Casket Garden tone....
yes, but how is this with synth bass? : )
Oh this sounds pretty brutal,🤘💀🤘
Hell in a foot basket
Some parts sounded like a can full of bee's, which i dont mind, this reminds me of the old art xtreme dist pedal from the 90s wish mine still worked.
Buena máquina
man I did not need to see this right now
Who else flipped at the Slaughter of the Soul riff!!
AND At the Gates riffs to demo!!!!
We need Ola Englund to do a will it chug video in this pedal
Damn, Burn Mode sounds like Sabbath during the reunion Tour back in 97-98.
Sounds heavy as hell.
DAYUM! Just got My Lizard Queen. time to order this, tried stacking them?
Stand thee Back Satan!! Holy Fuzzed catfish Batman!! that things sounds Btchin!.
Does it chug?
Hell yeah, when does it hit shops? It will be mine.
Now!
I just looked everywhere online and it's not available from any store here in the UK yet but I will check again in a couple of weeks and see if anyone has it yet.
Very soon in the UK
🤘👹🤘
pair this with the Westminster Effects 2716 and it would be an epic time
Just when i thought that i d never buy another distortion pedal
👍👍 Okay. You can send me one ☺️
Will there be a nano version of this gold?
You never know...
Would have been cool if you played Helter Skelter
Would love to know why mine sounds nothing like it does in any of the demos
please write the techs at info@ehx.com
Gods damn
I REALLY thought I was done buying pedals, you fuckers. 😂
Anyone played a keyboard/synth through this unit?
I accidently bought the Boss Metal Zone and put it after my Boss DS-1 and it melted the Hell Melter.
Damn. Okay, EHX... Okay... 💸
Bitchin'!
which 80s circuit does it use?
probably the hm2
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
