1312 Distortion

The Black Mass 1312 V3 is a distortion pedal based on the classic RAT-style circuit, expanded with an 8-position Clip rotary switch that provides eight distinct clipping configurations: Vintage Germanium, Red LEDs, Silicon, Asymmetrical MOSFET, Germanium/Silicon, MOSFET, Asymmetrical Silicon, and Quad Silicon. Standard Level, Filter, and Gain controls shape the output, brightness, and distortion, while the clipping selector dramatically changes the pedal's character. V3 adds an internal charge pump, allowing the circuit to run internally at 18V from a standard 9V supply (factory setting), or alternatively operate from an external 18V supply by changing the internal DIP switch. The pedal features true bypass and is designed to work well anywhere in the signal chain.
