Gehirn Enterprises ZERSTÖRER

The Gehirn Enterprises ZERSTÖRER is a distortion and fuzz pedal, covering both effect types in one box¹. It sits in the territory shared by distortion pedals and fuzz pedals, where the circuit pushes the signal into hard clipping for a saturated, sustaining drive voice.

What it does

Gehirn Enterprises describes the ZERSTÖRER as more than a straight copy of the circuit it is based on. according to RockBoard's PedalPedia, extra controls have been added, component values have been tweaked, and the control ranges have been extended, along with what RockBoard's PedalPedia calls "a brand new kick ass pointy faceplate"¹.

That matters if you are comparing it with the many pedals that simply rehouse a classic fuzz or distortion circuit. On the ZERSTÖRER, the changes go beyond looks: added controls and widened control ranges mean the pedal can be set further outside the range of its base circuit, which is where much of its character comes from¹.
