The Mr Black Thunderclaw is a loud and very heavy high gain distortion pedal made for those moments where civility is not required and you just want pure unadulterated metal tones. Described by Mr Black as a ‘downright mean, ruthless pedal’ the Thunderclaw sets out to take over clean amplifiers around the globe and it seems to be doing so successfully.

Fully Active Tone Controls

This is something that oddly enough you do not find on all pedals. All of the controls in this circuit are active meaning that you get much more control over your tone as you can both boost and cut the high and low end. With both the Treble and Bass controls turned to noon you have neither a boost nor a cut to the EQ meaning turned counter clockwise you cut the frequencies and turned clockwise you boost them. At the end of the day this gives you more control over your tone.

Gain On Tap

You have probably heard a high gain pedal before but I doubt a lot of you have heard one that has this much gain on tap while still remaining clear. Anyone can make a pedal that just turns the gain up to 20 but it takes a pedal masters like the guys at Mr Black to make it clear and crisp so you can hear every detail. Turning the gain control up to noon will give you enough gain to please most people but for those that like to downtune and get those really heavy tones take up even further for some truly stunning tones.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Black — Black instruments and gear offer a timeless, understated look that fits almost any style of music or setup. Whether it’s a guitar, pedal or accessory, a black finish is often chosen for its clean appearance, practicality and stage-ready feel. If you prefer gear that looks focused, professional and never goes out of fashion, black options deliver a classic aesthetic with no distractions.. Distortion — Distortion pedals deliver the raw, aggressive edge that defines rock and metal, transforming your clean tone into something powerful and full of attitude. By pushing your signal into rich harmonic saturation, they create thick, sustaining sounds that cut through any mix. From classic crunchy riffs to high-gain modern mayhem, distortion pedals give you total control over how wild or tight your tone gets. Whether you’re crafting searing leads or heavy rhythm walls, they’re an essential tool for adding energy, bite, and character to your playing.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
