Pedal Power

From the Strymon Riverside overdrive, Thorpy FX Electric Lightning, and the Procore Manticore drive, to the Whammy DT Octaver and Dimebag Wah, a meticulously selected chain of pedals was used to achieve the sound. Each one was handpicked and thoughtfully arranged to maximize the expression and bite of the guitars, delivering world-class character and depth.

Amplified Damage

Experience the warmth and body that only true analog tubes can provide. The tone of Damage Guitars 2 is brought to life with 2 sets of amplifiers. The sound of the hard rock style combines the iconic Marshall 1959 HW Plexi with the Victory Amps Dutchess 40W. The aggression of the metal and damaged styles pairs the Friedman BE-100 Deluxe with the Victory Amps Super Kraken.
