tc electronic, Röttweiler
From classic power metal over ultra-tight thrash riffs to a complete riot of unleashed power, this pedal is your ultimate one-stop station for all things heavy!
Röttweiler Distortion goes the extra mile and delivers an unparalleled sound that will inspire you to be shredding and riffing for days. In fact, Röttweiler Distortion has been designed specifically to capture the tone and true feel of raw power that only a high-gain tube amp used to be able to deliver. The all-analog design features a unique distortion circuit based on soft clipping – just like real tube amps – which gives you an extremely authentic response and tone. Now, you can get that bone-crushing sound through virtually any amp by hooking up a Röttweiler Distortion.
Röttweiler Distortion is voiced to burn through any mix. A classic stompbox problem in this hardcore setting is a tendency to get ‘lost in the mix’. Typically, these pedals sound great on their own, but once your band starts playing, they become less convincing. This is not the case with Röttweiler Distortion as it has been designed with live performances in mind – not just for home practicing!
Whether your ideal is power metal or tight-chugging thrash, Röttweiler will deliver at the flick of a switch. The ‘Voice’ toggle switch allows you to choose between two midrange voicings that will take you from classic hard rock to full-on death metal instantly. Also, the two tone controls, Treble and Bass, let you fine-tune your guitar tone to whatever your needs and wants might be in a matter of seconds.
Röttweiler Distortion – More Is More!

I should win this pedal because I am tone deprived when it comes to metal and heavy crunch sounds, and let's face it - everybody needs the power of serious distortion! Chunk chunk chunk chunk crunch roar! Shred shred rip rip rip wail! I ain't too proud to beg... hook me up!
I should win this pedal, because everyone knows that a growling, barking dog never bites, and this pedal is a growling, barking Rottweiler, and a Rottweiler is a dog, and it would bite if I didn't win, and that would put the lie to the old adage, and do you want that literary responsibility on your collective head?

Do you have any idea what I'm saying to you? (If so, would you be willing to share it with me?)

I should win this pedal because...because...um...AMPLIFIED CHAINSAW!

I should win this pedal because tone isn't everything, Its the only thing!
I should win this pedal because I need a watch dog to watch me shred some high gain licks, whilst contributing to the growl!
I have to win this pedal because if I don't the moon will explode. No time to explain.
i should win this pedal for two reasons: 1) i live in italy and since the people in USA participating to giveaways is so much, there is a very low probability of winning on this side of the ocean... and even if it isn't anybody's fault (except maths'!) i find it is unfair.
2) it happened to me that i couldn't bring my amp with me one night and there was a fender twin... nothing wrong with it, it's one of the most beautifully clean sounding amps i ever played... but that was a post-metal gig! i missed a distortion pedal like this one. it won't happen again with the rottweiler!
I have to win this pedal because it would turn my nice little guitar into an axe of the apocalypse!

I should win as the Röttweiler Distortion would remind me of my ex girlfriend all it would need is some lipstick....(she sold 2 of my guitars when we broke up!)
I should win this pedal because i have always wanted a rottweiler to guard my equipment
I should win this pedal because I currently sound like a bunch of beez. Seriously. Need help ASAP!
I should win the Röttweiler because I like to rehabilitate pedals and train myself.
I should win because I have never owned a distortion pedal, I feel its time for me to branch out and get one. This seems like one of the best for everything I have read and seen TC Electronic is amazing. So help a brother out, let me get some distortion on my board.
I should win this pedal because I don't have any money to buy pedals. My wife and I are in a band together and I would use this like crazy. She would let me buy any pedal I want if I had the money, (so I married the right woman,) but we just don't have any money! I wanna win this so bad!
I should win this pedal because my parents said I need to be responsible. I said to them "please let me have that rottweiler", they told me ok, but you have to clean up after it and make sure you feed it some juicy notes. So I win! Now time for me to keep up my word and provide this little animal a new safe home where it will always be loved!
I should win this pedal because it has a lot of bark in it ! If you see what I mean ... ( Sh-sh-sh-shakeeeeeer !!!!)

I should win this pedal because I want a "dog" that Cesar Millan can't tame. Thanks...
I should win this excellent pedal because I play every day and would love and use it forever and show it off to everyone !!!
I would like to win this pedal and give it to my son, cause the boy can shred and want only the best for his live show performances! Röttweiler Distortion is the one!
I should win this pedal because my ears are burning when I'm not shredding with, (In fact they still burn even with this effect but I don't care because the sound is too good :D)

[trad. The Rottweiler says:"Give me to Luca Gaverina or I'll shred you in slices!"]
I should win this pedal because i never can get a good distortion patch with any other pedal and this seems like the one ... played with it at a friends place and LOVED everything it had to offer !
I should win this pedal because it's one of the bettest pedal that i've tried ever and i'd like see my second effect pedal.
I have to win this pedal, because of i really love thrash metal and good distortion is what i need
i should win this pedal because my grand uncle billy took away my precious rottweiler stubby because he wouldn't stop barking. perhaps the sound produced by this pedal will fill the void left by stubby's absent barking.
When I was eleven, I was walking home from school--the blue jays were chirping, the sun was shining, and Mrs. Blankenship was watering her lawn in that short blue dress--when suddenly I heard the dreaded bark of Mr. Sprinkles, the vicious Rottweiler that belonged to mean old Mr. McGillicuddy. I knew Mr. Sprinkles had been gunning for me ever since I foolishly stood just beyond the reach of his chain eating that medium-rare ribeye and laughing. Little did I know that Sprinkles had hatched an evil plan. He had filed that chain down and pretended he was still chained up, biding his time until just the right moment to strike. How he learned to use tools with his non-dextrous paws, I'll have no idea. All I knew was on that idyllic afternoon, the chain did not hold him back. I kicked. I screamed. I even tried to whistle, but I had never learned how. It was too late; Mr. Sprinkles had a hold of my right foot in his muscular jaws and he did not let go until my foot and myself were no longer one.
Since then, I have replaced the foot with a heavy duty caster and can walk again (I often use the pun "walk and roll") and Mr. Sprinkles has long since gone to the great junkyard in the sky, but should I win this pedal, I will relish every opportunity to stomp that caster with all my might upon a reasonable facsimile of a "rottweiler." Long may it growl.
I should win this pedal because as an artist who enjoys a wide range of metal music, I'm always looking for a more powerful sound. I don't want just a bunch of insane gain static, I need that heavy distortion that is balanced enough to give me a tone of pure awesome.
I should win this pedal, because I love sound of this pedal and it would make my guitar sound as devil!
I should win this pedal because I always wanted to have a dog.
I should win this pedal because I just simply NEED it! The Rottweiler has such an amazing sound as do all the tc electronic pedals and it is just Awesome! tc electronic is Awesome!!
I should win this pedal because I have bills to pay and he doesn't look good bald.
I should win this pedal because I am surrounded by leftover peeps from Easter, and this pedal is part of their demands for my safe release! :O
I should win this pedal because the apocalypse is near. So the hounds of hell will come among the four horsemen to eat humans corpses rotting in flames. The Rottweiler distortion will transform my guitar into a holy plasma thrower that will SCREEEEAAAM like the thousand voices of angels and make Satan go back in hell crying for his mom. This is it. I need it to save the world, period. you know what to do.
Is should win this because i need something to make me sound good when im drunk?
I love to shred cabbage to make sauerkraut. It's my favourite thing in the world. I wish I had other ways I could shred. Like by using this pedal.
I should win this pedal because… I don't have health or accident insurance... It'll be a lot safer plugging a cable into this Röttweiler than a real one with teeth...

I should win this because I don't have any distortion on my board and think this is an AWESOME pedal to kick it all off with.
I should win this pedal because….I have never won anything in my life before...not even in a crane game and this would be my first... that is what I would just say but then I read Tyler Saxton's post and no lie it made me sad :( hopefully one day we all can win a pedal.
I should win this pedal because it's legen................................................................................................wait for it....................................DARY!!!
I should win this pedal because my rottweiler puppy died a few years back and my parents wont allow another one as it was too sad. This could be the one to brake that rule.
Genuinely true story.
