Distortion effect pedal for electric guitar that creates a rectified asymmetric distortion with user control of the symmetry balance of the distortion output waveform, combined with an absolutely monstrously heavy sound. In essence, this creates the psycho-acoustic 3D sound positioning effect that will make the sound jump out of the cabinet. The pedal provides a distortion that cuts through the mix, plus two bands of EQ. A control called Stare adjusts the symmetry of the distortion. Turning the control clockwise increases the symmetry offset of the distortion waveform, while counter-clockwise decreases the asymmetry of the distortion. The Scream control adjusts the rectified distortion. The Louder control can be used to adjust the overall output of the pedal. The unit is a great choice when used with an all-tube guitar amplifier to deliver rectified distortion. It can take a plain sounding tube amp and produce rectified distortion that rivals the sound of the most expensive amplifiers in this class. The pedal features Rocktron’s easy-access battery compartment to make changing batteries during a gig a breeze. Maximum input: +8 dBu. Input impedance: 1M Ohm. Current consumption: 15mA. Power requirements: DC 9V > 100 mA built-in regulator.
