Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Damage Control Demonizer. Our goal is to provide musicians with
premium, no-compromise tools that inspire musical performance and creativity. We are confident
that you will find our products to be of lasting value.

The Demonizer specializes in producing modern ultra-high-gain tones with plenty of tight, responsive
bass. Two cascading gain stages provide huge amounts of tube-saturated distortion, followed by a
proprietary tube output stage that reponds like a tube power amp, providing you with not only the
sound, but the all-important feel of a great tube amp. The powerful EQ sections allow you to shape
the frequency spectrum before the gain stages, as well as after, letting you change the feel and
character of the tones to suit your needs. The Demonizer provides an opto-compressor comparable
to those found in high-end studio racks for further adjusting the dynamics of the gain stages, while
Nuclear mode adds a footswitchable gain boost to allow for more gain on demand. Although the
Demonizer can turn any amp into a high-gain tone-machine, it can also clean up and add compression
and versatile EQ to any sound. Additionally, the advanced all-analog speaker-compensated Direct
Out gives you access to hassle-free superior-quality direct tones.
