I tried the Parabellum Drive and tracked all the metal riffs I could squeeze into 3 minutes of madness and doom.

All guitars, bass, and noise effects were made exclusively with nothing but the Parabellum Drive.

Pedal Info:

The Parabellum features an all tube EF86 preamp driving a 3 stage parallel germanium distortion with active and passive eq's, a tube boost switch, and a master volume switch.
The distortion stage begins with a buffer that splits the signal into three, with each going to a different germanium distortion; one traditional, one higher gain, and one hybrid diode/germanium distortion.

The eq section features the same musical interval spacing used in QtheEQ but expands it to add bright and depth switches which lay a perfect fourth in interval above and below the bass and treble controls, respectively.

The mid boost switch fills out the mids for a multitude of available tones. The Depth switch is tuned very low (43hz) which adds a percussive effect to lower tuned instruments and synths.

The mix of three distinct voices, each being processed independently then mixed back together, creates a dense, complex distortion not attainable through traditional, in-series processing. Parabellum runs on standard 9v DC voltage and requires 250ma of current, so no wall wart is required.
