Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Damage Control Womanizer. 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 Womanizer embodies a broad range of tones coveted by generations of rock and blues guitarists.
The Class A distortion circuits in the Womanizer employ four cascading stages of high-voltage pure­tube overdrive. The powerful EQ sections allow you to shape the frequency spectrum before the
gain stages, as well as after, allowing for a versatility in sound ranging from the earliest American
tube-amp tones, to the heavy sounds made famous by British amps. Additionally, the Womanizer
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. In front of any amplifier, the Womanizer will add the responsiveness and
dynamics found only in the pure tube classics that shaped the sound of rock and roll. To top it all
off, the advanced speaker-compensated Direct Out allows you to capture this tone direct to tape
with no hassles.
