TC Electronic Rottweiler Metal Distortion Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
The high-gain power of the TC Electronic Rottweiler makes this a great choice for metal.

From classic power metal over ultra-tight thrash riffs to a complete riot of unleashed power, the Rottweiler distortion pedal is your ultimate one-stop station for all things heavy!

Rottweiler Distortion goes the extra mile and delivers an unparalleled sound that will inspire you to be shredding and riffing for days. In fact, Rottweiler Distortion has been designed specifically to capture the tone and true feel of raw power that only a high-gain tube amp used to be able to deliver. The all-analog design features a unique distortion circuit based on soft clipping - just like real tube amps - which gives you an extremely authentic response and tone. Now, you can get that bone-crushing sound through virtually any amp by hooking up a Rottweiler Distortion.

Rottweiler Distortion is voiced to burn through any mix. A classic stompbox problem in this hardcore setting is a tendency to get 'lost in the mix'. Typically, these pedals sound great on their own, but once your band starts playing, they become less convincing. This is not the case with Rottweiler Distortion as it has been designed with live performances in mind - not just for home practicing!

Whether your ideal is power metal or tight-chugging thrash, Rottweiler will deliver at the flick of a switch. The 'Voice' toggle switch allows you to choose between two midrange voicings that will take you from classic hard rock to full-on death metal instantly. Also, the two tone controls, Treble and Bass, let you fine-tune your guitar read more tone to whatever your needs and wants might be in a matter of seconds.

TC Electronic is putting out some of the best stompboxes around. They have three different overdrive/distortion pedals which all emulate the tonal quality and response found in overdriven tube amps (Rottweiler, Dark Matter, and Mojo Mojo). This three tier distortion format allows for more tonal possibilities depending on the type of music you want to play instead of being stuck with onedisptortion pedal trying to play different forms of rock. The Rottweiler pedal is TC's highest gain distortion for heavy rock or thrash metal. While some pedals get oversaturated and syth like, the Rottweiler does not. Adustable voicings and tone options allow for many sonic possibilities. I own all eight TC Electronic pedals plus the Polytune, and have not been disappointed with any of them. TC is the top of the pedal world. Buy with confidence.
