Product Description

For a high gain tube amp sound in a tiny box, check out the TC Dark Matter Distortion. We heard that this thing contains real Dark Matter, but TC won't tell us the ingredients that make the Dark Matter pedal have that tube amp distortion sound. We suspect that, whatever it is, there's something a bit special in here!

The TC Dark Matter is a highly dynamic, responsive distortion that has gain for days, and retains all the bass and clarity of your signal when it's on. The result is a monsterous tone which rolls off into a crunchy just-breaking-up overdrive when you roll the volume down

Here's what TC Electronic say about Dark Matter Distortion

Ode to Distortion

DARK MATTER is the kind of pedal that you wanna go play for half an hour and end up spending half a day with. It’s musical, covers a super-wide range of sounds but stays true to its base, an all analog-drive circuit that reminisces plexi sounds with both a classic and modern edge. DARK MATTER delivers in spades thanks to a very low compression and a lively response that reacts to your playing at every turn.

  • Vintage-voiced distortion with extreme dynamic range
  • 2 band EQ
  • Voicing switch

Kicking Things Old Skool

Hard to imagine now, but there was a time before digital. If you think about it, many of the best distortion sounds stem from that era. Why? Well, it’s the analog circuits, they sound great and got a little more to give when you really punish them – it simply sounds more real, fuller and better. That’s the sound we love: dangerous, on the edge yet thoroughly musical. The sound that begs you to play harder, louder, faster and more.

Set for Tone

Distortion is great, but control is key. No one wants the ice-pick to the ears or a mushy bass-laden goo. DARK MATTER delivers with bass and treble knobs, perfect for dialing in sounds precisely and lightning fast.

Channel the Gods of Rock

DARK MATTER distortion adds extra versatility via a voicing switch that either adds bass for a more modern sound or fills your tone with retro vibes for an old school vintage throwback that oozes classic rock on steroids.

Unique sounding peddle good for rock and blues, I have a Fangs metal distortion peddle this one sits in well just below that,

So much better than I thought and not just a metal pedal

Well, wasn’t this a surprise? A wolf in sheep’s clothing, looks like a metal box but is a very useable distortion pedal across the full range - very highly recommended especially given the frankly silly cheap price

This is the second Dark Matter distortion I am adding to my rig. It has pushed a much more expensive pedal off my board. Fantastic: Dynamic, high headroom, brilliant snarly heavy crunch tone but also does cutting mid/low gain very well. I have one pedal covering each tone, high and mid gain. Stacked I get a wicked lead tone. What a great pedal and a excellent price.

A major upgrade on my previous Mooer. Love the tone and the ability to fine control the sound. Not for metal heads but a well designed, robust and flexible pedal. Looking forward to gigging with it.
