The Thug DeLuxe is a modified version of the Meathead Deluxe pedal, which itself is based on another pedal that the Thug is based on. It features three knobs that can be tweaked to adjust the sound. However, it’s important to note that this pedal does not offer more fuzz than the original one-knob Thug.The Attack control allows you to decrease the amount of fuzz, but it does not provide more fuzz. The Filter control adds some additional interest to the sound. When set at 12 o’clock, it is similar to a standard Thug pedal. Turning it clockwise increases the bass, which in turn pushes the output more. Turning it counterclockwise thins out the sound.The Thug DeLuxe is designed to be a perfect match for a fat tube amp and a detuned guitar. It can produce a range of doom-flavored tones, from crunchy to buzzsaw-like.The original version of the Thug DeLuxe had a linear pot for the Attack control, but it has been replaced with a reverse log pot, which is said to work better. If you prefer the original taper, you can request it when placing your order, although it is advised against.
