Mil-Spec Atomic World Ender (octave fuzz + chopper tremolo/drone)

The A.W.E. is a pedal so intense, so electrifying, so explosive, you may get a slight tingling feeling in your pants before you even play it. Once you play it, that feeling can turn into a burning sensation. But it's okay. That sensation is called Rock n' Roll.

The Atomic World Ender consists of multiple independent & sensationally symbiotic circuits. The main circuit (left-side/white LED) is an explosive analog fuzz/distortion inspired by the famous Fender Blender but heavily modified & expanded to open up infinite new tones & extract the octave & gating, making them each switchable. Since the 3 toggle switches (EQ, Clipping, & Mode) have 3 options each, the AWE is truly like 27 fuzz pedals in one. For ultimate tone-shaping, each EQ setting keeps the highs in tact while the tone control acts as a high pass filter. You can even get some screaming oscillation at maximum gain in certain settings (especially the non-gated setting) & modulate the pitch with the tone knob, or easily dial it out by decreasing Gain about 5%. For our bassist friends, an internal trimpot can dial back in your dry signal. From wailing octave fuzz to a crunchy fat overdrive, this dirt circuit just might make you Google marriage laws in your country (specifically marriage to inanimate objects).

Now to really make some teeth chatter & loins quiver, the right side of the AWE is a chopper tremolo with a few tricks up its sleeve. Because it's injected straight into the fuzz, not only can it be used as a regular "helicopter" tremolo to add some rhythmic stuttery artifacts to your atomic tone, but it can also chop so fast it achieves ring-mod oscillation! (Or for the nerds, amplitude modulation). This means a "drone note" that sings behind your main riffs which can be tuned to any note you want with the Finetune knob. This can make for some magically melodic shoegaze sessions or some dynamically dissonant creepy chords. You can even tune to a lower octave, adding some seriously monstrous rumble to your doomy chugs. We made sure to position the "Speed" knob for the chopper on the top right of the pedal too, so it can be easily tweaked with your foot while playing. Or even better, pick up our Luma Express light-sensitive expression pedal to get extra weird by controlling the speed with light!

The Atomic World Ender lives inside a durable yet beautiful sand-texture enclosure with pure aluminum knobs, gold-plated jacks, and a custom solid brass serial number plate. While supplies last, Hangman fx custom LED lenses contain fragments of rare artifacts inside them related to the pedal’s name. The AWE’s lens contains pieces of the leaded glass shield radiation-proof window installed in the T Plant (221-T) Plutonium Recovery Building. This was one of the largest Plutonium-extracting plants of the 1940s. As part of the infamous Manhattan Project, this Plutonium was later used in the “Fat Man” atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th, 1945.
