It is based on the B:Assmaster circuit and has been specifically tuned to allow more low end to pass through both the Clean and Fuzz channels.

The Diabolik features intuitive controls for fuzz and clean levels, as well as a Squish switch for further tonal shaping. It is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, making it durable for extended use.
The pedal is capable of generating characteristically crisp and aggressive tones, thanks to its preset harmonic spectrum setting, allowing for sharp octave overtones and aggressive tones.
Overall, the Diabolik by Malekko is a versatile and well-crafted fuzz pedal that offers a unique range of fuzz and harmonic capabilities, making it a valuable addition to any musician's pedalboard.
