The Ulbrick Megalodon Super Solo is one of Australia's most celebrated boutique pedals — and one of the most misunderstood. This isn't a distortion pedal. It's a Class A sonic enhancer that adds harmonic richness, clarity, and sparkle to your signal without ever getting dirty.
Designed by Dave Ulbrick — one of the original figures in Australian boutique pedal building, with roots going back to 1974 — the Megalodon uses 1970s New Old Stock (NOS) Class A drivers to deliver a pre-stage warmth that makes your guitar feel more alive. Dial in the gain knob to taste, push the volume, and watch your solos cut through a mix like they never have before.
This particular unit was handmade in Melbourne in the early 2000s, making it a genuine piece of Australian guitar history. Used by professional players across Australia and internationally, and awarded a perfect 10/10 by US Guitar Player magazine — the Megalodon is the kind of pedal that quietly becomes the most important thing on your board.
Pro tip: Run it with a carbon 9V battery rather than alkaline for the full Class A experience.
