HELMET
SWORD
What is more powerful: the pedal, or the mighty foot of the player who steps
upon it? The SWORD controls the voltage from the first gain stage to the later
ones for overall drive. The MOUNTAIN is a tweed amplifier style tone control
that interacts with SWORD to set the tonal emphasis. The TURBO button
changes the clipping response and overall distortion of the later stages.
HELMET is the overall output of the device.
Inside the pedal is a small trimpot for adjusting the bias/gate of the device, for
different sounds or noise reduction. Mess with it at your peril, cause Crom
laughs at your Four Winds!
BYPASS
musical/personal agenda
“Time to play some of that hard albumoriented rock music we’re hearing on
that new fangled FM radio.”
“Live at Budokan. ’78.”
“My life story? Well, it’s somewhere
between ‘This is Spinal Tap’ and ‘Anvil!
The Story of Anvil!’
“Sludgy mudslide of sludge, pouring
milkshakes and gravy into speakers.”

MOUNTAIN
For years we have had players ask us if our pedals are appropriate for use in praise and
worship settings. We have considered such a question blasphemous, as Crom is an angry
deity who lives inside a mountaintop, who doesn’t concern himself with the matters of mere
mortals, and cannot be bothered to hear their pleas for help, their prayers for vengeance,
or anything that might resemble a song of praise or devotion. Crom cares not for such
trifles! What Crom has blessed you with is abundant strength to turn the wheel of pain, the
free will to decide what is good in life, and the power to destroy your enemies!
Crom doesn’t grant wishes. He has been merely disturbed from his slumber long enough to
bequeath this medieval device upon those who may choose to use it. Under the proper
foot, its blade can cut down the tree of woe. Tuned properly, it is powerful enough to smite
a giant former Hall of Fame NBA player moonlighting as an actor. Maintained well, it is
sturdy enough to defend the screaming princess who looks a lot like Kevin’s big sister from
The Wonder Years. Grant me this wish Crom, and if not, then…to hell with you!
(editor’s note: it’s a BC184 Supa Tone B**der style fuzzstortion like our OG Olympia with
a tweed amp style tone control that is less lossy than the classic BMP tone stack)
