The TWA Chemical-Z overdrive may have been designed for famed metal producer Roy Z, but now another metal legend has found a use for this badass box: None other than Dave Mustaine of Megadeth!
Yes, our Chem-Z found its way onto Megadeth’s latest and last album, which was released earlier this year. According to producer Chris Rakestraw - That pedal was Dave's main sound.
Chem-Z’s crisp, articulate tone is easily recognizable throughout the final studio offering from one of metal’s most iconic artists.
To celebrate, we’re offering Chem-Z at a special price of $199 for a limited time.
*Limited time offer $199 while supplies last.
In a January article written for Premier Guitar, Richard Bienstock confirms that our TWA Chemical Z overdrive was THE overdrive used for the FINAL MEGADETH album.
We want to put a special thanks to our friend, producer Chris Rakestraw for confirming "that pedal was Dave's main sound" and always knowing how to get the best tones!
“A new overdrive based on the mild, natural drive sound of the legendary TS808, with even harmonics added at lower volume levels than the symmetrical clipping diodes would activate, producing rich integer harmonics. Equipped with a HOT/NORMAL mode foot switch, both modes have excellent high-mid performance, a transparent, comfortable, and well-defined sound. HOT mode is a higher gain, sparkling, easy-to-listen distortion for playing solos.”
