Pearl Thriller TH-20

Pearl Thriller TH-20

The Pearl Thriller TH-20 is a compact distortion/overdrive pedal that combines two gain stages in a single unit. Its Drive control sets the amount of distortion, ranging from a mild overdrive to a heavier, saturated tone, while the Level control adjusts the output volume to match or boost the amp. A two-band EQ, with Bass and Treble knobs, shapes the frequency response, allowing the user to cut or boost low and high frequencies to suit the guitar and amplifier. The pedal operates with a standard 9V DC power supply and features a true bypass footswitch, which keeps the signal path clean when the effect is disengaged. Its sturdy metal housing is designed for pedalboard use, and the top-mounted jacks facilitate easy cable routing.

  • Looks like a fixed wah at first, but it's more. You should try this out with a short clean signal at first, to find out what it does. With the frequency you choose the Frequency, pretty simple, then there's teh balance knob which let's you mix dry and processed signal. The colour button doesn'T change to much, ithink it might change the quality of the filter. Then there's the multipeak. Turning it on sounds somewhat like a really short delay with lots of feedback. It's a great pedal to put in front of a pedal that has a tracker, like a guitar synth box, a buzz box or an octaver. The filter can really confuse the tracker.

  • Plug this in for Micheal Jackson's signature tone!!!! Im joking of coarse. Basically a fixed wah, 4 knobs, 2 of which are mix and frequency, the other 2 seem to do very little. Unless u like fixed wah sounds pretty useless unless used for processing recorded signals
