Rainger FX El Distorto - Silicon Diode Based Distortion Pedal
Rainger FX El Distorto
This is a silicon diode-based distortion pedal, housed in an asymmetric metal enclosure (designed by Rainger FX).ÊIt's a full, tonally balanced distortion sound with a specific mid frequency-adjusted accent, and going to more all-out fuzz onÊhigh settings. Main panel knobs are 'drive' and 'volume'.On the back panel is a switch that de-stabilises an offset in the circuit - adding a new level of harmonic-sensitive 'unstable' fuzz tones. The pedal is hard-wired for true bypass footswitching, and comes with a rockpick - a unique double-pointed plectrum that accentuates the higher harmonics of the note, which - when used with the El Distorto - adds more attack and extra squeal. There are no sockets on the sides - which would take up too much space, so the input and output are on antennae, out of the way on the top panel. These are Neutrik sockets which securely lock the jackplug in place, stopping any accidental unplugging during use. SIn between them is the 'DC' in socket, though the El Distorto also can run on an internal 9v battery.The status of the effect is indicated by the 'angry eyebrows' LEDs.
