Rothwell Hellbender Overdrive Pedal
Straight from the UK comes the Rothwell Hellbender. Everyone at ProGuitarShop was astounded at these handwired, true bypass boutique pedals from England when we first plugged 'em. Around here we hear a lot about "Marshall plexi in a stompbox" when we get new pedals in for our customers. With the Rothwell Hellbender, we are pleased to say that this skillfully crafted stompbox plugs you straight into that hot British stack tone, all the while retaining the characteristics of your guitar's natural tone. Les Pauls sound rich and, dynamic, and Strats sound thick and robust. The multi-stage distortion circuit responds like a tube amp, and the tone knob is based on the classic tone stacks found in vintage Marshall amps. The folks at Rothwell did their homework and delivered. The wide range of distortion tones you can dial in with the Rothwell Hellbender places this ahead of the pack of distortion stompboxes. Dial the gain all the way up, and get singing sustained notes with rich harmonic complexity, but without too much compression and absolutely no trebly fizz. Back off the gain and use it as a clean boost for some mild dirty tone, and get some extra grit on your single coil guitar. This pedal interacts dynamically with your playing. It does not overpower your signature tone, and sounds utterly organic and natural for harmonically rich plexi overdrive. Back off the volume knob of your guitar and still have a rich and resonant tone. This pedal was made to interact with your own fingers, the tone and volume controls of your instrument, and the natural drive of your amplifier. The Rothwell Hellbender is most organic and responsive Marshall in a stompbox we've come across in some time. Here at ProGuitarShop we pride ourselves on being tone experts. With the Rothwell Hellbender you can enjoy the results of our quest for the perfect tone for ourselves... and our customers.
Rothwell Hellbender
We normally reserve this space for some creative writing for our pedals. For the Rothwell Hellbender, we're just gonna shoot it straight without the poetry, alright? Think Back in Black. Think Appetite for Destruction. Think all the classic Marshall rock tones that have captured your ears and passion for rock n roll. Think classic thick walls of 70's Marshall distortion that is completely natural, responsive, organic, and complex. This one can fill stadiums, sure, but it can also turn your Fender amp into a vintage Marshall head with just the stomp of a switch. The Rothwell Hellbender will deliver some stunning vintage rock tone, the kind that is universally acknowledged as "ROCK" when they hear it blasting out of speakers. This is the real deal tone. This is the tone that built balls-out rock n roll from the clubs to the stadiums. Sweaty, snarling, sustaining, beefy, rude, and raw. If your rig needs to get some serious attitude adjustment, and get its rocks off, then the Rothwell Hellbender needs to be on your board immediately. Seriously.
