KHDK, Trivium Team Up for the In Waves Clean Booster

March 11, 2022 · 3 sources

KHDK Electronics announced the In Waves, a limited-edition clean boost pedal designed with the help of Trivium guitarists Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu. The pedal is named in honor of Trivium's 2011 album, In Waves, and KHDK advertised it as its "most insane clean boost" ever¹. Gearnews reported the collaboration the following day².

The pedal carries three knobs and a switch¹:

• Boost: controls the output volume, with the max setting giving volume that KHDK warns is "Seriously. Loud."¹
• Treble: clockwise boosts the treble, counter-clockwise cuts it, and noon leaves it neutral¹
• Bass: clockwise boosts the bass, counter-clockwise cuts it, and noon leaves it neutral¹
• Tight switch: controls the amount of low end in the preamp section, with the up position boosting the bass response¹

KHDK says the Tight switch is especially useful for players who have tuned their guitars down but want to preserve clarity and string definition¹. The In Waves is true bypass and runs on 9 to 18V power¹.

Each of the 333 pedals comes with a certificate signed by Heafy and Beaulieu¹. The pedal was available starting March 11, 2022, priced at $249¹. KHDK's product page lists it as the "In Waves Trivium limited clean boost pedal by KHDK"³.
