Frost Giant Electronics Mourning Star EQ Boost Effects Pedal - MOURNINGSTAR

Frost Giant Electronics Mourningstar
EQ Boost Overdrive Pedal

High-headroom overdrive with powerful active EQ and selectable clipping

The Frost Giant Electronics Mourningstar is a ground-up, studio- and stage-ready overdrive designed to push amplifiers deeper into saturation while preserving clarity, headroom, and dynamic response. Built around an active three-band Baxandall EQ, a fixed post-volume boost stage, and three selectable clipping voices, Mourningstar delivers familiar feel with expanded control, making it equally effective in front of vintage blackface-style amps, modern high-gain rigs, and complex pedalboard setups.

Rather than cloning an existing circuit, Frost Giant engineered Mourningstar to function as a flexible tone-shaping tool that enhances an amplifier’s natural character. The added fixed boost stage increases harmonic richness and headroom, while the active EQ allows precise sculpting to match different amp sizes, tone stacks, and power tube configurations. Designed to stack cleanly with fuzz and distortion pedals, Mourningstar excels as both a primary drive and a shaping boost.

Key Features

• Three-Way Clipping Selection - Toggle between TS9-style tight compression, SD-1-inspired rounded mid push, or Frost Giant’s custom LED Mourningstar mode for increased gain, stronger low end, and aggressive saturation.
• Active Three-Band Baxandall EQ - Independent Low, Mid, and High controls provide far greater tonal flexibility than a standard tone knob, allowing precise adjustment for different amps and musical styles.
• Fixed Post-Volume Boost Stage - Integrated boost positioned after the volume control adds headroom, harmonic content, and dynamic punch without sacrificing clarity.
• Highly Responsive Mid Control - Push the mids for added bite and gain, or max them for HM-2-style aggression well-suited to death metal, doom, sludge, and other heavy genres.
• Designed for Amp Interaction - Engineered to enhance both vintage clean platforms and modern high-gain amplifiers without modification.
• Stackable Pedalboard Integration - Plays well with fuzz and distortion pedals, maintaining articulation and balance when layered.
