Perfect for modern metal, the DSM Humboldt Black Clouds gives shape to menacing sound and clearly articulated notes.

Black Clouds: More Gain, More Volume

Thanks to the intuitive control lay-out and plethora of options, the DSM Humboldt Black Clouds can be easily integrated into any rig. It sets you up with an impacting 3-band equalizer and a double boost function for extra gain along with more volume, making it an excellent mid-booster for solos as well as a welcome volume-booster for tube amps.
