TC Electronic Eyemaster Metal Distortion guitar pedal

Eyemaster was specifically designed to channel the Swedish death metal tone, endearingly nicknamed the "Swedish buzzsaw". As that term implies, Eyemaster is not a subtle overdrive.
It is not transparent and it does not "sit well in a mix". Rather, it burns an unholy path straight through the mix.

Set Eyemaster the classic way - "everything dimed" - for the authentic death metal sound reminiscent of pagan ritualism in the darkness of the Scandinavian woods.
This will summon a dark and menacing tone, dripping with acid and edge.
