Mr. Black Thunderclaw


Mr. Black is well aware of what they have done here. They have created a monster. This stompbox is meant to peel the paint off the walls...of the house down the street. If you have a need to make your horn go to another universe of crazy thunderous intensity, this is your stompbox. Please be kind to your neighbors if you use this pedal.

HornFX Review

Interface:  4/5
Another standard four knob drive pedal. The treble knob seems to have less of a broad sweep than it should

Versatility: 2/5
This is another very intense drive pedal. It can do distortion and DISTORTION.

Tonal Reproduction: 3/5
There is some warmth and there there is some nice body. The EQ can be manipulated to find a pretty good sound, but that cannot stop the crazy distortion onslaught.

Complexity: Simple

Complexity: Simple

Live application: 2/5
This might not be a great choice unless you are playing some pretty intense music. The aggression that this pedal transmits is not exactly well suited for many applications, especially where horns are concerned.

Product Information

The crushing decimation of thunder leveling everything, leaving a wake of silence so loud, it can't be ignored.

A crisp flash of pure electric energy jets down from above delivering a flash so bright the pupil shrinks to a needle's point.

And you haven't even played a power chord into it.
Welcome ThunderClaw.  Welcome.
