Total distortion worship!!

[@danielringl8501]

WORSHIP!

[@MaxPowersTastyTones]

OBEY!

[@duckfluff]

what the hell, that meshuggah tone is spot on, sounds a lot like catch 33

[@eryckcrypton6412]

Always love the Lichtlaerm content on your channel!

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

This is a great sounding pedal! I like the different options that you have with this pedal.
Perhaps you can make a comparison between different high gain distortion pedals....it would be helpful. 🤘

[@kk6804]

Your first sound demo reminds me of Deftones' earlier sound. As usual, you once again did a very good job. Thanks!

[@MarcusW87]

Big fan of Lichtlaerm Audio, you made this pedal sound awesome (as usual).

[@sacreddangermoose5260]

The distortion characteristics and the riffs you played with the LTD gave me some serious old school Three Days Grace vibes.

[@czyprodigy2743]

I was thinking the gain sounds like a rectifier which was used on the first album and transit of Venus

[@TheVoiceInYourHeadd]

Reminds me a little bit of the INDOMINION tone. Very cool

[@str11pes]

My Pedal Came In!!!!! It's amazing!!! Thanks for showing it to me.

[@LonelyRocker]

Cool pedal! And great tones and riffs as per usual!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thank you mate!

[@danthegeetarman]

Brutallll 🤘🤘

[@bak1386]

Sounds fuckin great, love the riffs man!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@LeeJoRo]

Just seen this on Keith Merrows channel.
Seems pretty good

[@davidcastonguay2927]

I wasn't aware a 6505 had a clean channel...

[@SonicDriveStudio]

🤣

[@smeemusic]

This one might not be for me but I definitely see where it could be used. As always it’s sounding great in the mix. Just the character of this one is a little too close to the vein of a fuzz tone for me. However I do know that I eventually want a more metal tone type fuzz than you typically hear with a traditional fuzz and that may be the point where I look at this one. But for now I have to stay on focused for what I got going on at the moment.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

the very first lichtlaerm pedals were in silver cases too.

[@guidedbyechoes]

Dude you make everything sound good. Do you think you could find a carvin V3 an do a video on that?

[@graemedixon6314]

Awesome sounds out of that thing, very versatile.
I believe the graphics are a limited run for the first 100 pedals. (I could be wrong though)

[@simonXsludge]

The first 100 we launched yesterday + the batch 2 pre-order that is running until mid February. We just wanted to give everyone the opportunity to get one in this enclosure, because we figured the first 100 would sell out quick - which thankfully, they did. Either way, once we close the books on the pre-order, this enclosure design is going to be retired.

[@RequiemDead]

Ok, you gotta help me with this decision, my friend! I JUST bought the Ritual and Medusa, do I need this pedal?! LOL (the answer is probably yes)....Awesome vid as usual!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I'm sorry but you do! It's unique! ;)

[@RequiemDead]

@@SonicDriveStudio aaaand, it's purchased!

[@simonXsludge]

@@RequiemDead Thank you!

[@azathothic]

Looks like a more expensive version of Ibanez Pentatone but less features

[@joelvandam]

Misschien kun je een keer een video maken over je favourite IR's.

[@JohnWiku]

Correction.
The most versatile distortion pedal, so far!
Tomorrow there's gonna be another one, and tomorrow after that 😂😂

[@ChernobylAudio666]

MOAR TOIGHT.

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Worship

[@nj1255]

Kinda sounds like a Mesa Mark IIC+. Has that sludgy distortion character and gnarly fuzziness that the MKIIC+ has (at least when you aren't cutting the mids completely a la Metallica-style), and not the super saturated and smoother (for a lack of a better description) distortion character of more modern Mesa Boogies and other modern metal amps.

[@Z17xMachine]

I don't like the way it sounds through a clean channel.
