From Our Catalog
The Demonizer is an absolutely NUCLEAR, no-compromise, audiophile, tube distortion preamp with opto-compression and pre/post bionic EQ. Armed with an explosive double-barreled 12AX7 preamp design, the Demonizer allows its user to sonically dominate listeners with an armada of tube amp sounds. The Demonizer's NUCLEAR analog preamp design reacts like a full-blown tube amp's combined preamp and power amp sections! By controlling knobs that shape amplitude and frequency, the Demonizer's Bionic EQ allows massive tone shaping in both the Pre and Post tube stages. The Demonizer also features a revolutionary magic-eye biofeedback meter that organically reacts to your performance levels! If you've been searching for a crushing tube amp crunch that offers virtually any tone under the sun, search no further. If you've been praying for pure analog tone shaping, opto-compression, and unparalleled Pre and Post control, pray no more. If you think this box was made for you, it was. Damage This!

Dual 12ax7 Tubes
The Demonizer's high-voltage tube circuitry delivers the goods. Two cascading gain stages provide huge amounts of tube-saturated distortion and sustain, followed by a proprietary tube output stage that works as if it were a tube power amp, providing you with not only the sound, but the all-important feel of a great tube amp.

Analog Opto-Compressor
The Demonizer's analog opto-compression circuitry produces a high-quality compression comparable to ultra-high-end stand-alone rack units. The compression shapes the amplitude and envelope of the pre-distortion signal, allowing for fat, sustained clean tones and ultra-smooth, intensely-saturated distortions. More than an added feature, the opto-compression is an integral part in getting your sound.

Comprehensive EQ
You're in total control with the comprehensive Pre EQ and Post EQ sections. The Pre EQ allows you to boost pre-distortion frequencies that are adjustable from 250 Hz to 1.3 KHz, by as much as 15 dB. This lets you dial in the frequencies and harmonics that will clip first, giving you the ability to tailor the dynamic response to suit your needs. The outer Post EQ control allows you to select a scoop frequency from 500 Hz to 2.2 KHz after the distortion, providing a huge palette of tones to dial in the character of your sound. The inner knob is an active treble control providing a boost/cut of +/-20dB, so regardless of your amp's settings, you can set the high end just where you want it. No matter how you turn the knobs, you'll always get an incredibly tight and responsive low-end, something sure to become the Demonizer's signature trademark

Direct Recording Output
Extensive analysis was conducted on the response of professionally mic'd closed-back 4x12 cabinets to come up with the Demonizer's Direct Output circuitry. The result is a 14th order analog network that goes far beyond traditional techniques, delivering an incredibly responsive feel while managing to preserve the high end presence of great recorded guitar tones.
