Kirk Hammett Dual Rectifier – High-Gain Metal Preamp on Veroboard

Description

Forge the fire-breathing tone of Kirk Hammett’s legendary Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier – without hauling a back-breaking amp stack. Built entirely by hand on veroboard using hand-selected components and vintage-correct values, this pedal captures the molten mids, searing highs and tight low-end punch that defined an era of metal guitar tone.

Every Hello Sailor build tells a story – and this one’s pure stage warfare. This pedal reflects both my Royal Navy roots and a love of the brutally refined tones of early-’90s thrash and metalcore.

From the solder to the artwork, no two are ever the same. This is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind slice of Hammett’s high-gain heritage – lovingly reimagined for your pedalboard.

Key Features

Authentic Dual Rectifier-style gain structure – raw, aggressive and harmonically rich

Hand-built on veroboard – no PCB, no shortcuts

Premium parts – including silicone wire, vintage film caps, carbon comp resistors where tone matters most

True bypass switching – no tone loss when disengaged

Sound & Performance

Plug in and prepare to launch an assault on your speakers. The Kirk Hammett Dual Rectifier pedal delivers the crushing wall of gain you’d expect from a Boogie stack, yet retains clarity and pick attack – ideal for palm-muted chugs, lead flurries and punishing rhythm work.

It stacks beautifully with boosts, EQs, and loop FX. Set it low for chunky mid-gain bark or crank it for full-bore stadium saturation. Either way, it brings the fire without the 4×12 cabinet.
