Savage Toecutter Deluxe
The Tym Guitars Savage Toecutter Deluxe is a remarkable distortion pedal that pays homage to the iconic early 80s "white face" RAT circuit, while adding a host of modern features and refinements. This deluxe version retains the core tone of the original, with its slightly modified custom Tym circuit and the use of an original LM308 IC and silicon diode clipping. But it takes things to the next level with some ingenious additions. The real standout is the mini toggle switch that gives you three distinct clipping options - standard silicon, double silicon for more volume and clarity, and the signature "red LED" clipping of the Turbo RAT for even more output. This allows you to dial in the perfect amount of grit and grind to suit your playing style and rig. There's also a "shape" toggle that modifies the distortion filtering for a cleaner, more open tone with a tightened bottom end - great for keeping your low-end focused. But the real icing on the cake is the volume bypass footswitch, which lets you instantly switch between a "rhythm" and "lead" volume preset. This makes the Savage Toecutter Deluxe an incredibly versatile tool, perfect for everything from thick, saturated leads to tight, punchy rhythm work. Tym Guitars' attention to detail and commitment to quality shines through in every aspect of this pedal. It's a modern take on a classic circuit, packed with useful features that empower your playing. If you're after a distortion with character, flexibility, and pure tonal ferocity, the Savage Toecutter Deluxe is a must-try.
