The newest version of Lichtlaerm Audio's earth-shattering Altar fuzz consists of a high output clean boost and a high-gain fuzz/distortion circuit with added chainsaw magic for a truly exceptional array of sounds. Oh, and don't overlook the internal "DOOM" switch!

Loosely based on the Black Russian Big Muff, the Altar MKIII is the perfect weapon for everything from Gilmourish sounds to fat Doom and Stoner riffing.

While earlier versions of the Altar aimed to please both guitar and bass players alike, Lichtlaerm decided after some feedback to release updated versions for each instrument, and this guitar version is the first to be released.

Altar MKIII controls

The active 3-band EQ features 3 perfectly voiced frequency bands, each with +/-18dB cut and boost. It's incredibly powerful for sculpting your tone but can also achieve some crazy sounds at extreme settings!

The Depth mini-pot varies the saturation character from a tight response to a full on sludgy fuzz, for ultimate control over your sound: dial in a classic scooped Muff-type sound or a mid-forward fuzzstortion that will cut through any mix.

The new, proprietary Comp mini-pot completely transforms the sound of the Altar MKIII from low-gain super-organic Germanium overdrive, to loud, aggressive LED-clipping distortion. Blend seamlessly between the different characters and adjust the saturation to your liking.

The Altar MKIII internally converts the 9V input voltage to 36V for maximum headroom and loudness: while some Muff-style fuzzes suffer from lower than ideal output, the Altar MKIII smashes its opponents into the dust.

The “DOOM” switch is an internal slider-switch which pushes all the gain stages into beast mode, changing the corner frequency of the drive-sections from a mid-heavy Sovtek style crunch to a battlehammer of doom that sends all frequencies through the clipping stages!

The independent Boost circuit adds adds up to +36dB of extra push to the front end of either your amp or the fuzz/distortion circuit, layering harmonic overtones over endless sustain, square wave sounds and a hint of glitchy octave.

Not gnarly enough? Turn up the Grind mini-pot to adjust the frequency response of the boost from an almost flat response to a bass & high-mids-heavy curve that emulates the frequency response of a fully cranked Boss HM2

The original Altar was the first ever Lichtlaerm Audio design and this third iteration is the most flexible yet - no matter if you want to play Pink Floyd, Bongripper or Entombed!

great fit
Size: 4, Color: White
This is my third buy from this brand. They fit great, I have no problem with them at all, and you can't beat the price. You can dress them up with heels and a nice blouse, or wear them casually. I recommend them.

Genuine leather upper and well made
Size: 10, Color: Sunlight
These shoes are well made and I love the way they look. They look great with jeans or dresses. I usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 depending on the brand. These are a size 10 and fit. Hopefully after a breaking in period the opening at the toes will loosen up. Also, when walking they make a slap slap sound. Again, hoping after they break in that won't be the case. I got a great deal and poof a couple of days later there was a slightly better deal. I wasn't sure I'd like the color but it's actually really nice. The upper is genuine leather and they are well made.
