Sydney, Australia (June 18, 2012) – MI Effects with has announced the release of the Megalith Delta high gain distortion pedal. This highly anticipated release has a completely unique and original design, and will change the perception of high-gain distortion stomp boxes.
The Megalith design originated with the very popular, and brutal MI Amplification Megalith Beta amplifier. The 180W monster of an amp was designed to provide a sophisticated and complex high gain sound, ranging from clean to extreme high gain and all tones in between. Every nuance and design detail that was placed in the amplifier has been taken into consideration with the Megalith Delta, culminating into one of the tightest and aggressive distortion pedals on the market.
The Megalith Delta is a valve-like, JFET (transistor) interpretation of the Megalith amplifier providing the huge bottom end, along with the character and clarity of the top end that signifies the Megalith name. Not only has the preamp been painstakingly recreated, but the interaction of the power amp and phase inverter has also been considered to create a high gain sound unheard of in pedal form.
The flexible and unique EQ section is comprised of three main controls: EQ Shift switch, Three-Band EQ and Contour controls. The powerful Three-Band EQ, coupled with the three-position EQ Shift switch (which shifts the EQ’s bands) allows for the minute control over different frequencies. Rounding out the EQ section is the Contour control; a control that mimics the effect on the frequency response of the phase inverter in the power amp. One sweep of the Contour goes from old-school; fat and midrangy, with a slightly rolled off top end, to a trademark modern high gain sound… the mids start to scoop out, and the sub-bass frequencies tighten up.
The foot-switchable Gain Boost simulates the feel of switching from mid-gain mode to high-gain mode as in the Megalith Beta amplifier, and provides added upper mids and tightness giving you extra harmonics and saturation.
