A blizzard of brutal tones!

DSM Humboldt’s Black Clouds was designed to be the ultimate high-gain distortion pedal, packed to the brim with versatile EQ and boost options.

The core of this 2-piece pedal is the ultra-high-gain distortion section, featuring three flexible modes and a full 3-band EQ, unlocking an endless assortment of metal-tinged possibilities, from brutal breakdowns to tones that dive down to the depths of djent-y mayhem.

Moreover, the Black Clouds also boasts a secondary footswitch to access this pedal’s powerful Master Boost section, with up to 20dB of gain available even when bypassing the distortion side!

Best of all, the mighty 3-way X-Gate switch enables the Black Clouds’ built-in noise-gate for squeal-free tones on even the most saturated settings.

Add in the flexible pre-preamp boost and tone controls, and the DSM Humboldt represents a crushing evolution in the world of high-gain pedals!

 

A trio of modes to choose from.

To accommodate everyone from classic guitar-into-amp players to modern modeling maestros, the Black Clouds boasts three different modes.

• Normal : The simplest of the Black Clouds’ modes, this setting is ideal for guitarists utilizing a traditional amplifier setup.

• Preamp : This mode is fine-tuned to excel with guitarists running into IRs, power amps, or digital modeling systems. It sports a sharper, brighter tone to cut through any mix.

• Mid Boost : Sometimes, your lead tones just need a little extra girth. Mid Boost cranks up your signal’s midrange for a fuller, meatier feel.
