DAMAGE CONTROL DEMONIZER.
The Demonizer is an absolutely nuclear tube preamp, direct recording device, and floor pedal. The Demonizer reacts like a tube amp's combined preamp and power amp sections delivering tones ranging from clean progressive rock to bone-crushing metal. The Bionic EQ allows extensive tone shaping both pre and post tube stages, while the analog optical compression delivers the stainless steel polish your music demands. As the world's finest direct recording device for guitar, the Demonizer's range and quality of tone are unparalelled.
Dual 12AX7 Tubes:
The tone starts here. The Demonizer's and Womanizer's high voltage tube circuits are individually optimized to provide each preamp with a distinctive voice. In the Demonizer, two cascading gain stages provide huge amounts of tube-saturated distortion and sustain, followed by a proprietary tube output stage that provides you with not only the sound, but the all-important feel of a great tube head. The Womanizer's tube circuits are configured as four cascading gain stages to create the subtleties and nuances of a pure Class A combo.
Direct Recording Output:
A 14th order analog network that goes beyond traditional techniques was developed after extensive testing and analysis of professionaly mic'ed speakers cabinets. This analog solution delivers a highly responsive feel while preserving the high frequency presence of great recorded guitar tones. When using the Direct Out, the Womanizer and Demonizer remain fully responsive to your picking dynamics and your guitar's volume control. The sense of connection between what you play and what you hear is unprecedented. If you want REAL guitar tone direct into a console or full-range PA, then you need the tube-driven analog signal path of the Womanizer and the Demonizer.
Analog Opto-Compressor:
The analog opto-compressor produces studio quality compression comparable to a high-end rack unit. The compression shapes the amplitude and envelope of the pre-distortion signal, allowing for fat sustained clean tones, supurb touch-sensitive clipping, sophisticated smooth-clipped overdrive and ultra-smooth, saturated distortions.
Bionic EQ:
You're in total control with the comprehensive Pre EQ nd Post EQ sections. The active semi-parametric Pre EQ allows you to drive the tubes with varying levels of punch or finese, while the active Post EQ allows flexible tone-shaping after the tube stages.

HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:
Sound Quality: 10
I use my demonizer through a marshall mg100dfx and through a m-audio firewire solo for recording. The way I look at gear is if you want to sound like someone else, go buy there signature models and the "artist series" pedals that digitally copy there sound and sit at home in your basement looking in the mirror thinking about how cool you look and don't worry about what's coming out of your amp because it sounds just like your heroes'(I've been there and done that). The demonizer can get you anywhere from jazz to blues to grunge to death metal and anywhere in between (and beyond) with real tubes driving you there, it can give you the tones you want from your heroes, but it also lets you create your own. The tubes are surprisingly noise free, even on the highest gain setting which I think is very good seeing as it hasn't got a noise gate in it. The drive gets you from clean to Hard rock in standard mode, and far beyond metal chug in nuclear (I love gain, the more the better and this pedal has enough for even me to think perhaps I should turn the gain down a tad). The compressor is pristine and adds just what it should; the eq is unique and very musical. The pre eq lets you make a particular frequency clip first which you can boost to add flavour, or really boost to make it sound like a wah wah pedal set in one place. The post eq you can scoop mids in different ways creating some really additive tones, and you get a tone control to get the high end where you need it. It reacts very differently to each of my guitars (les paul and prs), i.e. it lets the sound of the guitar through so even with the same settings you can get different sounds, which I think is a hard quality to find in a distortion pedal.
Ease of Use: 10
This is the best distortion pedal I have ever played. It is very versatile as it can be used in so many different ways, you can play it though your amp (using the amp out), straight in to your computer or plugged in to a pa system (using direct out).
