Back in the Saddle

My fellow dirtheads,

Its been a crazy year. Stock shortages on essential components and slow shipping times which have been symptomatic of the pandemic. Add to that a spike in demand and the sum has been my inability to keep devices in stock. I think BAT is running close to 100% now and most devices are in stock. More will be added as I can build them. If you see something that is out of stock, dont hesitate to email and ask. Website stock levels may not reflect current on the shelf.

As always, I urge every potential customer to visit one of BAT’s retailers who can offer advantages over buying direct.

IF something out of the ordinary is your taste, check the BAT Customshop on Reverb.Com. I have a backlog of cool shit to build and get on your dirty floors.

Sincerest THX!

RAW HEART OD

 

RAW HEART OD

Dual Circuit Overdrive/ Distortion

 

Combining two Black Arts Toneworks designs

WITCH BURNER

QUANTUM MYSTIC

Sometime ago, Black Arts worked with Mike Scheidt from YOB to design a distortion pedal which addressed the shortcomings of his favorite distortion at that time, the Ross Distortion. We used his pedal as a starting point and by adding a three band active EQ between gainstages among other tweaks we achieved the desired tonality, aggression and volume boosting capabilities need to push amps and address EQ needs of changing rooms on tour. The active EQ can control low/mid/treble but being between gain stages it can boost those frequencies into more or less distortion as needed. Low gain settings were of great importance to us and we were able to dial in clarity and articulation to make it a useful toneshaper in both live and studio applications. Mike road tested the design and it was released as the Quantum Mystic OD. It was used on the 2014 YOB album ” Clearing the Path to Ascend “.

Mike added a special LOW GAIN version of the Black Arts Toneworks  WITCH BURNER to his arsenal for recording and touring for the latest album ” Our Raw Hearts ” released 2018. With the low gain modification to the Witch Burner, you will find it easier to control, less of the hot feedback on the gain control, better dynamics and less compression. Its an excellent driver for focusing on upper mids.

With this, we decide it was time to release both as dual design.  Save pedalboard space, only require one power source for both circuits, and eliminate a patch cable. Featuring the art of Heavy Metal Talisman the vibe were were going for was realized.

The Raw Heart works equally well with a clean amp or driving a dirty amp. It can be a standalone distortion into clean platforms or used to boost an already saturated amp. Clarity, power, excellent eq shaping, fine tuning gain stages are all attributes of the Raw Heart OD.

The Raw Heart OD features :

  • Low Gain Witch Burner.
  • Quantum Mystic
  • 9vdc center negative operation
  • Dual true bypass switching
  • Use a single circuit or both circuits in series.
