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!

Favorite Chew Toy for Multiple Dogs
My dogs love these! My dog, Tucker (RIP) decided this was his favorite thing to chew (he had the Stegosaurus) and what was left of those passed down to the next 2 dogs who also love them. Since they had gotten a bit small over the years, I gifted them with a 5-pack. I thought it would be multiple types of dinosaurs, but they were all Brontosauruses (which is fine - those are large and should last quite a long time). Both my 54 lb. dog and 25 lb. dog love these! They gnaw on them regularly and there's almost no sign of wear. So, although they're a bit pricey, you should get a lot of use over a long period of time.

I have 6 dogs that love these
I used to manage a dog boarding facility. Thousands of dogs. Maybe one or two had ever had nylabones that they actually chewed on. I’m on my second pack of dogs and every dog that I have had, loves these. And their teeth are unusually clean the vet has always said. Saved me a ton on dental work for dogs over the years I definitely believe. Be careful, they are like legos to step on.

My dogs love these
These are twice the price in stores so the price is a steal. My dogs are heavy chewers but become possesive over real bones i bought some of these. They work really well, my dogs are obsessed with them. If i buy the other products of nylabone they dont like as much. Sonething about the dinosaurs they love. They last quite a while and the nubs help clean their teeth.
