Northern Mauler

Parallel Distortion

Developed in collaboration with Spectre Sound Studios founder Glenn Fricker. The Northern Mauler bridges the gap between surgical modern rhythm and the brutal Swedish Chainsaw, entirely phase-aligned in one  analog enclosure.

WATCH THE DEMO

the brutal precision machine

For guitarists chasing precise high-gain tone, who need a mix-ready signature sound with the tightness, clarity, and string separation to cut through a dense mix without losing precision at the lowest tunings. 

 

The Northern Mauler delivrers massive, multi-layered distortion without the catastrophic phase cancellation and loss of low-end tracking typically associated with stacking drives.
 

engineered with glenn fricker

As the founder of Spectre Sound Studios, Canadian recording engineer Glenn Fricker has spent decades engineering the ultimate heavy metal rhythm tone. Renowned for his uncompromising, no-nonsense approach to audio production and his highly influential YouTube channel, Glenn is a defining voice in the modern heavy music community.

Parallel Distortion

Blend a modern high-gain amplifier circuit with a brutal "chainsaw" topology in one perfectly aligned analog enclosure.

Active Blend

split your signal into two entirely separate circuts, and gracefully recombine them at the output stage for perfect, fast, palm-muted tracking.

giv'r (global gain)

Dictate the saturation and clipping levels for both circuits. Never fight conflicting volume jumps when panning the Blend control.

Bite & Growl

A streamlined evolution of the vintage chainsaw equalization.

 

Bite: surgically dial in the signature 1kHz "honk" and treble fizz characteristic of Swedish death metal,

 

Growl: manage lower-midrange thickness, giving you immense fuzz without introducing sub-harmonic mud to your extended-range instruments.

02 / Blending

Active Blend Control

Amp: A custom-voiced, REVV G3 topology that delivers the surgical, palm-muted tightness and percussive foundation of a modern boutique tube amplifier.

 

Chainsaw: An optimized, HM-2 style engine that injects the chaotic, harmonically violent "Swedish Chainsaw" grinding texture directly into your upper midrange.

03 / Global gain control

giv'r

The Giv'r knob simultaneously dictates the saturation and clipping levels for both the Amp and Chainsaw circuits. Because their saturation curves scale symmetrically, never fight conflicting volume jumps or headroom disparities when panning the Blend knob. 

04 / equalization

3-band amp eq

Dial in the Amp channel using an Independent active Bass, Mids, and Treble eq with massive dynamic range, to move from a scooped Bay Area thrash rhythm to a thick, sustained modern progressive lead.

05 / Enclosure

premium housing

Built by hand to survive the rigors of the road, we consolidated a complex dual-engine parallel mixer into a single, highly accessible pedalboard footprint. Designed to maximize horizontal real estate, it fits perfectly alongside the most demanding signal chains.

active blend control

Split your signal and distorts it through two entirely separate equalization networks (Amp and Chainsaw). Gracefully recombine them at the output stage. Achieve a massive wall of sound while maintaining perfect phase coherence and fast, palm-muted tracking.
