The TC Electronic Dark Matter Distortion Pedal is going to leave an impression. Featuring a unique circuit to deliver a fresh take on clipping and some delicious distortion, this mould-breaking pedal will excite and inspire.
 
Harmonious distortion, without the harsh edges. With a gain circuit that's based around two op-amps, the Dark Matter provides symmetrical clipping and articulate crunch. That's not all it can do, as you can forego the distortion entirely for a clean boost to your signal. But when you need an injection of attitude, roll up the gain and enjoy smooth clipping at any level. From creamy to filthy, you'll love the crunch this punchy pedal provides. Give your sound some grit with the Dark Matter.
Old school distortion
Modern design, vintage tone. Adding in degrees of crunch to your sound, the Dark Matter can raise the roof without affecting your tone thanks to its all-analogue circuitry. This harks back to the days before digital, and delivers that sought-after, authentic gritty sound.
There's ample headroom and some deadly dynamics to explore with this stompbox. Ramping up the voltage more than 3-4 times the amount of a typical drive pedal results in unheard of level of sonic vivacity. Even better, the inclusion of a voicing switch lets you choose between modern bite or vintage vibes.
High-grade components
Built for performers. This pedal is formed from some of the highest-grade components available, so you can be sure the rock will never stop. Featuring a strong, durable metal chassis that'll protect the internals and withstand the rowdiest of gigs, you can be sure Dark Matter will be distorting your sound for years to come.
It couldn't be easier to set up. With a slim profile and top mounted jacks, it's sure to fit on any pedalboard and reduces the time spent getting ready to perform. And when it comes to performing, you'll be able to sculpt your sound on-the-fly thanks to the rough dial edges that make toe-control possible. Boasting user-friendly and intuitive controls, it's the ultimate distortion pedal for any level of player.
