Death By Audio - Absolute Destruction Demo

Get ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED at bit.ly/2FdfegZ
The Absolute Destruction might be our most insane pedal yet. Showing little to no respect for what instruments normally sound like, or even what many people want them to sound like -we pushed this thing until it sounded totally disgusting. Want a thick, gnarly fuzz sound? Sure, you can do that, and it’ll sound really, really good. But you can also push the OVERLOAD slider into blooming, octave nastiness. Push it further and starve the circuit so that your signal starts to eat itself. Push it all the way and your sound will completely duck down before violently coming back to life.
The Absolute Destruction harnesses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane sound. Its GAIN and OVERLOAD sliders interact to create a wide range of "unique" sounds in various positions. You choose how much to absolutely destroy your sound. The farther the OVERLOAD control is set to the left, the faster the effect slips into absolute destruction and gets totally disintegrated. Blow it out even harder and faster by slamming GAIN and OVERLOAD opposite one another. Lower one or the other for smoother attack and release. Screaming octaves, thick fuzz, and the sound of your guitar reaching back from the depths of destruction are at your fingertips. Think of it as a psychotic compressor, or the sound your amp might make when literally on fire, or any number of things that your boring friends wouldn’t call music.

I love how casually he turns off his guitar and starts talking calmly like there wasn’t absolute sonic chaos going on right before.

[@GreenLeaf5656]

It can do: -distortion -sound of phone mic at a loud concert -webcam microphone distortion -broken distortion pedal

[@markmallred]

MY NEIGHBOURS ARE GOING TO FUCKING LOVE THIS

[@noelwhite6650]

On the (relatively) normal setting it sounds like a valve amp that's been chucked down a flight of stairs. I'll take 10.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

haha hell yeah! thanks for watching, Noel!

[@oL5re9re55ion]

"So if you ever wanted to hear what it sounded like when all your gear was broken, there you go". Haha oh man, DBA is the absolute BEST

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

for all those times when your new amp isn't broken enough...thanks, Nathan!

[@chadkelham5034]

Death By Audio doing what it does best: delivering extreme face melting sounds from another galaxy.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

thanks! beam us up.

[@homunculusSZN]

I’ll give you 69 likes on this one, brother

[@dylanmonaghan7623]

Death by audio is the punk 70s Willy wonka Of pedals

[@michaelorourke7032]

This is by far one of the best pedals I have ever purchased. It works best when the amp is turned to 7 or higher. I like using it with a solid state amp but it slays tube amps as well..I use it on every song I play. This pedal is not for most musicians, it is angry, abrasive,loud, and its name describes it at best. If you are looking for something different that is built well that will last for years this pedal is the way to go.

[@jeremywinnett6352]

Have you seen the solder joints on DBA stuff? It's cool but I wouldn't count on it lasting for decades. That, and causing opamps to literally collapse on themselves probably doesn't extend their expected life span

[@thesteelstrummer2307]

I like to hear him play "We've come so far" or "Never Coming Back" or even "Ocean" with this thing! Great playing as always, Ollie!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

thanks so much!

[@JH-ex4sg]

Wonder how it’d sound on vocals..

[@wxb200]

like crap...

[@burninglcd]

Louis Rubens perfect

[@notapplicable328]

The way he goes from spazzing and making hell fire spew from his amp speakers to just speaking calmly ab the pedal kills me

[@Thrivinginthespotlight]

Lmao

[@curtisward7329]

Best pedal demo on the internet.

[@deadlightmutantdankballs2431]

I tried to play like him and not only did my sound get mangled but also my pick melted on me

[@metronohm808_6]

Proper laughed after he went from chilled out 'im playing through a pedal to demo it' to 'if you crank up the gain you can get more distortion, let's hear it's and then he's like, 'tut, but the real effect of the pedal is it destroys your sound' haha

[@1210Jazz]

This one STARTS at 11!

[@MushroomP1llowz]

Just got my fuzz war the other day.. this and the reverberation machine are next on my list. God bless DBA you understand the beauty of noise

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

all hail the almighty noise!! thanks so much for picking up a fuzz war-hope you like it!

[@monoscopes]

Do get a Reverberation Machine. Strongly recommended.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

@@monoscopes we second this recommendation. thanks a bunch!

[@monoscopes]

@@deathbyaudioeffects it is a very inspiring pedal.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

@@monoscopes glad to hear it. thanks!

[@Simonsmukke]

I think Kurt Cobain Would have liked it

[@Thrashmetal89]

He would have loved it

[@RJOzzy9]

Started off like "meh, kind of decimator, very niche sound." Then was like "Oh my gawd, that distortion, I get this now."

[@randyhollandsworth626]

Oliver, a simple wish/request for a Skywave reunion tour. I can't believe I was only 35 minutes up north from you in Dale City back in the day. I completely missed out. Still listen to your Synthstatic album religiously. "Wear this dress" will play on my wedding day.

[@moseygded4004]

If it were to happen I'd lose my mind

[@gabrielbrown805]

I've been trying to find a real noisy pedal, went from the old blood noise haunt to the pro co turbo rat to EHXs big muff. I think I've found the pedal I was looking for

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

siiiiiiiiiiick! so stoked the Absolute Destruction is workin' for ya!

[@brians3948]

Usually don't comment but holy shit man u kick ass

[@vii0483]

This is it, this is perfection

[@MBicknell]

That's a killer combover

[@bradmarden8392]

That's some Pickles the drummer level combover action right there

[@ZackBlackMusic]

This is sick! Subscribed because I don’t want to miss any future demos.

[@SamaelAzazel131]

The most demented pedal makers. I've never been lucky enough to try one but judging by the vids on here I love em.

[@Futurefighter4900]

You should definitely try one! Death by Audio's pedals are definitely worth the price. In a market saturated by clones and safe tones designed for traditional guitar sounds, DBA stands out for all the right reasons.

[@lubdar]

2:20 This just makes me smile!!!

[@bogdan6650]

Yo' Dudes... How I can work for Death by Audio?? I seriously!

[@austonsmith536]

by sharing Death by Audio links on your facebook page... you can be their promoter.

[@bluerock5351]

Its like this pedal "absolutely destroys your sound". LOVE IT!!!!

[@smittysmat7826]

Man, I laughed so hard at 3:15...and oh, BTW, I totally want one of these.

[@sean_shimmer]

Anyone know of a death by audio showcase where u can just hear all their pedals back to back , instead of looking them all up

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

hey sean, thanks for checking us out! there's demo video playlists on the individual pedal pages on our website so you don't have to search and surf around the web too long - www.deathbyaudio.com

[@stefanridding7606]

This pedal is so much fun to fuck around with, and has so many possibilities for sounds. My first DBA pedal, but hopefully not my last.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Thanks, Stefan! Have fun exploring all the fuzzy possibilities!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Thanks, Stefan! Have fun exploring all the fuzzy possibilities!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Thanks, Stefan! Have fun exploring all the fuzzy possibilities!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Thanks, Stefan! Have fun exploring all the fuzzy possibilities!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Thanks, Stefan! Have fun exploring all the fuzzy possibilities!

[@justawatchin2]

nobody else demoing this seems to want to actually destroy their signal. looking for something that can help my signal completely disappear. this looks right.

[@xBattsey]

Could you do a bass demo of this as well?

[@felipomiranda3262]

Please never die dba!

[@ollarecords9324]

I use it and I love it! Versatile is word you are looking for!

[@arturolagunadiaz6480]

Me encanta!! Esta surgiendo un nuevo estilo musical. Eso es muy importante en la vida de la música,cuando parece que todo está inventado vuelve a surgir algo nuevo. Felicidades!!!!

[@thatdichead]

Mine will arrive on Wednesday. Can’t wait

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

excellent! thanks a ton, John! enjoy it!

[@mikeroadblock]

DBA, fighting the good fight. Keep up all the fucked up good work you guys are doing.

[@adriancarroll6995]

I love this pedal (for real) thought. It's like "loving spouse meets NINJA decapitation." It's like "gorge yourself with burritos till you pop with yum sauce. taco smash!"

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

thanks! it's like if "live mas" was a distortion pedal, y'know?

[@theamericanpatriotshow3993]

Bro... I want that white custom jazzmaster with the lipstick pups

[@homunculusSZN]

Go listen to A Place To Bury Strangers if you haven’t! That’s this dudes band

[@numbersguy8737]

This pedal is the reincarnation of me

[@isthislewis]

yes oliver. what a noise. fucking love seeing you demo it too

[@thetunnelshow]

I was thinking about getting this for my pro 1 but honestly, this sounds like more of what I'm looking for.

[@eihthype6578]

A Place to Bury Strangers?

[@maxleon192]

if you don't know how to play guitar you still want to try his stuff

[@tobycanrun]

Thank you for not demoing your pedals with a bunch of uncreative mindless blues riffs

[@NateBriggs1212]

3:50 “Juwanna hear what your gear sounds like broken down and busted...well here u go.”

[@robotpizza8200]

Wow! This pedal is mental

[@Ghost17110]

man all of your demos are the exact opposite of my tone and setup (vintage guitars often with single coils, vintage tube amps, fuzz/noise pedals, etc...) but I love ever second of it. Would love to hear this in more of an HM2-like context with some Nails or Full of Hell

[@schautamatic]

Extreme noise terror sent through 20 of these with delays in between each at different time settings 😄😄

[@S19NALC14AIN]

This is so fantastic!

[@Boak7]

wonder how it sounds on bass.

[@delivrance3961]

My goodness ! Kudos 200%! And by the way, little bit late but happy bday Oliver !

[@Kedros27]

best jag commercial

[@cantina2425]

I'm totally buying it

[@_Scyber]

Awesome hair.

[@sjmoetsie547]

Best demo ending ever!

[@christianmeza4529]

I can't pick up my face it's all over the keyboard.

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

sounds like somebody got Absolutely Destroyed

[@randyhollandsworth626]

What drum machine were you running through that absolutely amazing pedal?

[@JMMJ4791]

More gain, please ! Thank you

[@lerevolver6688]

gonna sound like mainliner in no time

[@stephenlacysullivan2463]

This thing is nutz! Love it!

[@theolang3566]

i genuinely wonder what the schematic is. does it wavefold or something like that???

[@richardrofacale4557]

This pedal is quite tame when i compare it to his hair

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Imagine playing a gig with this pedal and at the end trying to get paid, the club owner thinks he’s paying for a broken gig, lol

[@daemeonthorn4929]

Hey Oliver!!!! What's up man. So when exactly can I get it????!!!! I was just on your website again just recently, and I DID NOT see it for sale. So again, when will "Absolute Destruction" be available????

[@retrogearshop]

Release is Dec 12, you can pre-order here! www.retrogearshop.com/product/death-by-audio-absolute-destruction/

[@JulianHyde88]

Reminds me of a Devi Ever Soda Miser

[@search895]

I should meet this guy.

[@RegularDude00]

omfg ollie you son of a bitch 1:42 that tone is insane

[@NateBriggs1212]

3:57 “This evol mama jama sounds pretty insane with das drum maschine...”

[@ShermanLeungpointofgravity]

Sounds like what happens when I mess up my booster pedal circuits

[@joyful_satyr]

bass demo?

[@brexxebender1204]

Modding this as we speak

[@klepetar]

absolutely funny intro..and he's pretty good too

[@6255jer]

Nice

[@ollarecords9324]

Bought one Ace! Instant inspiration!

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

thank you!!

[@austinguinn4584]

I love how this brand just gives a big middle finger to other pedal companies by just doing outrageous shit how they want to

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

yo, thanks, Austin! that means a lot to us. we make our own rules!

[@selviodiz9960]

Zachary Vex: - Fuzz Factory makes crazy sounds... Oliver Ackermann: - Hold my beer.... Just joking - love them both, happy owner of Fuzz Factory, Machine & Fuzz War

[@lucad6394]

What is your fender amp?

[@tungtobak]

Sold!

[@mowfakabeetch]

reminds me a lot of Death From Above 1979

[@jarjik9295]

0:50 sounds like Waters of nazareth by Justica

[@SkabCrowley]

What drum machine is that?

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Boss DR-55

[@zdh82]

[@GunkyFella]

[@retrogearshop]

Pre-order is available here! www.retrogearshop.com/product/death-by-audio-absolute-destruction/

[@juancitolimon8743]

[@oijkop1194]

What kind of drum machine does he play?

[@deathbyaudioeffects]

Boss DR-55

[@NateBriggs1212]

1:26 “ let’s here it...”

[@dclipper8052]

They need to make a pedal that sounds like it's destroying the sound without actually destroying the sound. I mean the sound is kind of important...

[@davidepesola1784]

♥️

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

If you love your neighbor, buy this pedal.

[@granthambeard]

I love dba pedals, but I get the same sound by chaining three or four fuzz pedals together, I'll pass on this.

[@barhibolton]

If you really love dba pedals, you have to chaining 3 or 4 of them, that's the point

[@davidleegoth]

I'm trying to figure out his hairstyle , pedal is cool tho.

[@Kevin9687]

Hell yes

[@franciscobravo3419]

Realmente necesito un pedal para sonar asi? Heyy?? Sonido similar a cuando se me rompio mi selector de capsulas.

[@NuwandaSM]

Exactly...and you don't even need to break them anymore.

[@innyve89]

Sick
