Ingrid Newkirk, settle down. No animals were harmed in the making of the T-Rex Gristle pedals. . . as for animals who listen to the effects, well there's no accounting for taste, is there? We hear some people are into being punished by guitar overdrive effects like the T-Rex Luxury Drive, T-Rex DGTM and T-Rex Gristle King. All three pedals will be on display8 at MusikMesse in a few days, so b sure to check 'em out.

A brief rundown on each pedal:

T-Rex Luxury Drive
Luxury Drive is a booster pedal with a bit more. Engaging the pedal and turning up the boost dial introduces a little bit of classy compression to your signal. It's smoother boost with more punch than you might be used to.

T-Rex DGTM
DGTM stands for "Diabolic Gristle Tone Manipulator," though that name may be a bit misleading. This is an overdrive pedal that yields a smooth, creamy, very tube-like distortion. Controls include Gain, Tone, "Gravy" and a switch the selected between mild and wild gain ranges. Combine it with the luxury drive and you've got a pretty stellar array of classy distortion effects. Speaking of which. . .

T-Rex Gristle King
The Gristle King combines the powers of the Luxury Drive and DGTM in one housing. Two footswitches activate the boost and distortion fucnitons, and all the toggles and controls from the other two pedals is there. Two additional toggles are present, but we're not sure just what they do yet. Looks like you'll have to visit the T-Rex bo-oth at MusikMesse to find out.

The Gristle pedals were developed in the US as a collaboration between technician Tim Jauernig and guitar player Greg Koch. T-Rex has the pedals in productions now, so expect pricing and available announcements soon.
