The Reverend Shade Balderose Signature solidbody electric guitar was created in collaboration with the Code Orange guitarist to support his signature sonic assault. It’s loaded with a pair of proprietary Railhammer humbucking pickups, which combine blade magnets and pole magnets for ultra-tight lows and fatter high notes. You’ll discover even more sonic versatility with the Shade Balderose Signature’s acclaimed Bass Contour control, allowing you to dial back excess bass for a punchy tone that doesn’t get lost in a busy mix. Complete with premium components like a treble bleed circuit that maintains tonal clarity as you roll back your volume, and Pin-Lock tuners for stable tuning and fast string changes the Reverend Shade Balderose Signature guitar is a stage-ready instrument that will impress even the most aggressive guitarists.

Railhammer pickups are optimized for fat, punchy tone

An original design by Reverend founder Joe Naylor, Railhammer pickups are optimized for fat, in-your-face tone. Railhammer humbuckers utilize a rail magnet beneath your wound strings, the perfect choice for tight, punchy lows without mud or flubbiness. Beneath your plain strings, Railhammer pickups use pole pieces to enhance the fundamental of higher notes for a fatter sound. Even your sludgiest doom metal tones will hold their place in the mix.

Fine-tune your tone with the Bass Contour control

Guitarists often wonder why more guitars don’t offer a bass roll-off control, like the Shade Balderose Signature’s Bass Contour knob. Dial it back just a bit to tighten up your rhythm tones, or roll it back further to emphasize attack and presence. Or use it in conjunction with the standard tone control for mid-focused tones you normally couldn’t achieve without an EQ or filter pedal.

Pure Tone jack: gig with confidence

The vast majority of guitar output jacks have just one single contact point for your cable’s plug, and is a common point of signal failure over years of use. Not so with the Reverend Shade Balderose Signature, thanks to its innovative jack by Pure Tone Technologies, which features dual contact points that grip your guitar cable’s plug firmly. The last thing you need when you hit the stage is an intermittent signal caused by a worn-out jack, and that’s one less thing you’ll need to worry about thanks to the Shade Balderose Signature’s Pure Tone jack.
