DSM & Humboldt Black Clouds is a aggressive and articulated distortion pedal, yet it is quiet, due in large part to its X-Gate feature.
With a unique amp feel, it can produce some amazing chugs. The noise gate works well for chopping breakdowns. Designed from scratch, it features a powerful 3-band EQ, tons of gain on tap, plus a dual boost function for even more gain and volume.
The distortion features an extensive and thoughtful control set that includes: Pre Boost: Controls the amount of input boost from 0 to 30dB with a slight mid boost to add definition. Use it if you want to raise the gain and compression when using the boost function. This control is not functional if the pedal is bypassed. Gain: Controls the gain, ranging from crunch to high gain mayhem. Level: Controls the output volume. Master Boost: Sets the amount of output clean boost, from 0 to 20dB. Use it to raise the volume when using the boost function.
Pre Tone: Use it to balance the amount of high or bottom end entering the drive circuit and compensate for different pickup characteristics for a consistent tone. Clockwise, the low end is reduced, and the top end is enhanced (for tighter, more aggressive chugs). Counterclockwise, the bottom end is enhanced, and the top end reduced (for fatter, fuller single lines). It’s great for finding the right balance of tightness without losing too much body for your pickups.
Bass: Controls the low frequencies below 300hz. Mids: Controls the midrange response, between 300 and 2khz. Treble: Controls the high frequencies above 2khz. X-Gate Switch is a passive noise gate that chops the silent passages instantly. It’s great for Djenty percussive breakdowns. It also adds crossover distortion which adds another layer of texture to the tone.

Let customers speak for us
Another company I was going to buy from took 3 months to get the item in stock when they said 2 weeks. AME had them listed as soon as they got the shipment.
I bought this combination to go with a Fractal FM9 and couldn’t be happier. This setup actually replaced a hand wired boutique amp! And what’s best is if I don’t use the FM9 I still have an awesome and light tube like Ami that takes pedals well. The people at AME audio ordered this for me and couldn’t have been more helpful. One very happy customer here!
Amazing pedal, have wanted one for years. Was worth the wait to get it at such a good price.
The service from Matt, was friendly and informative, received the amp in North Qld saved the Gig. Thanks again Matt.
Awesome pedal. Awesome service, fast overnight delivery. What else do you want?!
Obviously it seems to have been universally well reviewed, and it IS good. To me it has a unique timbre - a fuzz like quality but somehow sweeter. It’s versatile and I think you could find a good use for it in several genres and a cut through in any mix.
The BK Butler is arguably one of the best overdrives of all time, but it's huge, mains powered, noisy and desperately needs True Bypass.
The Venus is a BK Butler which is normal sized, runs off 9V (albeit with a noteworthy draw), true bypass and a couple of fun tweaks to make it even better.
Probably the ugliest pedal Ive ever seen, but aside from that, it's a no-brainer.
Thick fuzz fused to a screamer overdrive. I don’t really like tube screamers, but really like this pedal. A very playable fuzz/overdrive for anyone who wants a grittier tone. Thanks guys for a great pedal!!
What a great sounding pedal. Just used it in my pedal chain.
It is smooth responsive and breaks up with definition. Highly recommend.
Fantastic pedal sounds like Angus young. Brilliant .
Fast deliver pleasure to deal with
It's like my old Eden WT800 and Ampeg SVT heads got together, had a bastard love-child that won the genetic lottery, then blasted that child with some sort of mad scientist shrink ray! So small it fits in my accessories bag - I don't even need to get a separate bag/rack for it - and my ageing joints love that it's barely 2 kg. The controls are so simple and intuitive, yet there is a surprising range of usable tones in this this. Sounds great with my pedal board and it works awesome with my current band. I don't regret going with the Quilter Bass Block at all!
First Klon style pedal I’ve ever owned.. does the job beautifully and saved myself about five thousand dollars.!! Delivered prompt and efficiently within a few days…. No complaints here.
Bought the Quilter Superblock US as an easy to carry alternative to the 50w valve head I usually take to gigs and jams. Matched with a 1x12 cabinet it sounds great, big sound for such a small package. Very happy with this amp.
