Tyrannosaur MegaDriver PINKMAN (overdrive/fuzz-stortion + 2 switchable gain stages)
Our Pinkman Special Edition pedals are a way for you to own a super special vibrant pink pedal (who doesn’t love pink pedals?), & for us to give back a little. Pinkman pedals are identical to our standard versions other than the gorgeously gaudy enclosure color.
For each Hangman fx Pinkman Special Edition pedal sale, 20% of the total cost will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
St. Jude’s Mission Statement:
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures & means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research & treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

The Tyrannosaur MegaDriver is as brutal as the prehistoric predator himself. Hunting for the most versatile yet full-bodied dirt circuits in the wild (because who doesn’t like swapping 2-3 pedals on your board for just one?), we came upon a true diamond in the rough—a type of gain stage that hasn’t been utilized by many pedals over the years. You’re probably wondering, is the Tyrannosaur an overdrive? Distortion? Fuzz? The answer is...yes. Like most of our offerings, it’s at least 2-pedals-in-1.
To break it down as simply as possible, every knob & toggle switch is a different gain stage, & they all react differently to each other so a wide range of styles & gain can be dialed in. Firstly, the Meat control is a tone control, however it’s placed early in the circuit. This means increasing Meat boosts low-end & slightly increases the gain. Next up is the Growl control which alters the overall gain & exists at 2 different levels, switchable using the right footswitch & ext. jac, allowing you to instantly flip between 2 different levels of gain like having 2 Tyrannosaur MegaDrivers on your board! Then comes the Roar stage. Being towards the end, it acts as a sort of hybrid volume/gain control. The “Gain” toggle switch is simply an additional gain stage at the end of the circuit (but before the Gated Boost).
& last but certainly not least, the Gated Boost toggle—an entirely independent JFET dirt circuit that sends the Tyrannosaur into MegaDrive! Being more treble-focused, it’s a great way to increase high end when Meat is maxed for one of the most full-bodied high-gain drives you can imagine! Tweak the amount of gating & crackle with the internal “Bias” trimpot to help achieve lower gain tones without the gating interfering or higher gain with zero noise. You can also dial down the gain to a super gated, crackly tone then add another dirt pedal after the Tyrannosaur, turning any dirt pedal into a crackly fuzz. The Gated Boost can be switched by the right footswitch & ext. switcher instead of the Growl knobs if selected inside the pedal.
There’s a whole lotta power in these 3 knobs & 2 switches, so start turning & toggling until you find the growls & roars you’ve been searching for!

The Tyrannosaur MegaDriver lives inside a durable yet beautiful sand-texture enclosure with pure aluminum knobs, gold-plated jacks, and a custom solid brass serial number plate. While supplies last, Hangman fx custom LED lenses contain fragments of rare artifacts inside them related to the pedal’s name. The TMD’s lens contains pieces of actual Tyrannosaurus rex fossilized bone recovered on private land in South Dakota from the Hell Creek Formation.
