Fat Foot Effects Thallium 81 DistortionWe dig a good hard rocking, amp crushing, super clipping distortion pedal around here (who doesn’t?), and today’s featured piece of monster machinery scratches all of our high gain itches. A simple pedal built around a simple need, the Thallium 81 Hard Clipping Distortion pedal from Fat Foot Effects brings the thunder, but not in an overpowering kind of way. With a plug and play mentality, easy-to-use parameters and some killer tones, this guy is handmade and the quality comes shining through.

Retaining the character of your guitar and amp, while adding in some spice to your sound, the Thallium 81 is versatile without being overbearing. Volume sets your output, and Gain adjusts the amplifier circuit’s gain in the pedal, sweeping from broken up boost to hard-pushed amp sounds. The Tone knob gives you a subtle but useful tonal EQ adjustment, blending a high and low pass filter together, to form a strong union of tonal variety and transparent tone control. 100% analog, this effects is a dirty boost, overdrive and genuine distortion all wrapped in one.

Just like the element it is named after, the Thallium 81 is both teratogenic and carcinogenic at heart, seeking to disrupt your central nervous system and turn your tone toxic (in all the best ways). An amp crushing machine with enough smoothness and clean aspects to add flavor without total tonal overload, this pedal gives you just what you want in a distortion, and leaves you nothing that you don’t.
