DSM & Humboldt | BLACK CLOUDS | High-Gain Distortion & Boost

DSM & Humboldt | BLACK CLOUDS | High-Gain Distortion & Boost

A high-gain storm is surely brewing: DSM Humboldt’s Black Clouds was designed to be the ultimate high-gain distortion pedal, packed to the brim with versatile EQ and boost options. The core of this 2-piece pedal is the ultra-high-gain distortion section — featuring three flexible modes and a full 3-band EQ — that unlocks an endless assortment of metal-tinged possibilities, from brutal breakdowns to tones that dive down to the depths of djent-y mayhem. Moreover, the Black Clouds also boasts a secondary footswitch to access this pedal’s powerful Master Boost section, with up to 20dB of gain available even when bypassing the distortion side. Best of all, the mighty 3-way X-Gate switch enables the Black Clouds’ built-in noise gate for squeal-free tones on even the most saturated settings. Add in the flexible Pre-preamp Boost and Tone controls, and the DSM Humboldt Black Clouds represents a crushing evolution in the world of high-gain guitar pedals!

Clean up your sound with the X-Gate

Black Clouds is an unapologetically high-gain piece of kit; of course, where there is gain, there is often unwanted noise. Thankfully, DSM Humboldt built a noise gate straight into the Black Clouds with a 3-way switch that toggles three settings: Off, Both, and Boost. The gate response is fast and tight and also simple to use. Switch over to your preferred setting and start chugging — no knob-twiddling required.

  • The ultimate high-gain lead guitar pedal, with a plethora of additional EQ and boost options
  • 3 different modes of operation to adapt to a wide variety of configurations: Normal, Preamp, and Mid Boost
  • Built-in X-Gate noise gate keeps your signal clean and clear when you’re not playing
  • Full 3-band EQ to sculpt every facet of your sound
  • Exceptionally broad range of gain on tap, from a slightly boosted sound to brutal djent tones
  • Master Boost gives you up to 20dB of clean boost that can be added to your signal even when the pedal is disengaged
  • Pre Tone control allows you to quickly achieve a consistent response across drastically different pickup configurations
  • Pre Boost adds up to 30dB of gain before the preamp circuit while simultaneously enhancing your definition and midrange response
