KHDK Electronics Unveils the Ghoul Screamer

Conceived by guitar legend Kirk Hammett, the Ghoul Screamer goes from a clean boost all the way to a massive overdrive.

New York, NY (September 28, 2015) -- Guitarists of the world, this Halloween, 2015 will bring the consummate treat: KHDK’s Ghoul Screamer guitar pedal. Conceived by guitar legend Kirk Hammett and designed by KHDK laboratories, the Ghoul Screamer is the perfect multipurpose guitar pedal, designed for the true guitar gearhead. The pedal will be available for purchase October 31st, 2015. Of the Ghoul Screamer, iconic guitarist and KHDK co-founder Kirk Hammett commented, “I’m excited as HELL!” KHDK co-founder and industry vet David Karon added “Kirk had a very specific vision for the Ghoul, to perfect a circuit loved by generations and create massive tones that redefine overdrive.”

The Ghoul Screamer guitar pedal possesses dramatic versatility with controls spanning from a clean boost all the way to a massive overdrive. In addition to the three standard controls (drive, tone and volume), five more switches have been added to the Ghoul Screamer to greatly expand the sound palette - bass switch, high switch, body switch, compression switches and foot switch.

“With Kirk’s diverse tones in mind, we knew he needed a Swiss Army knife of overdrives. Under his direction, we achieved and surpassed his vision with the Ghoul Screamer,” noted Antonin Salva, KHDK’s Chief Engineer.
