Rowin Plexion Distortion Pedal for Guitar & Bass with Bright and Normal Mode True Bypass

Product Information

The MXR M104 Distortion+ is a practical plug-and-play solution if you want a distortion pedal that's simple, sweet and a true classic. Specifications If you're looking for a classic distortion pedal that can do it all but still sound like itself, the RAT 2 is an excellent distortion pedal to try. Specifications The label Ultra Metal is justified by this pedal's built-in sweepable mid-EQ, which lets you boost or scoop your tone to your preference. It works in conjunction with the pedal's high and low EQ controls for shaping your tone. It should be noted that some pedals are heavily influenced by the original, as opposed to being a 100% clone. So for a few of the below pedals, the manufacturer has put their own twist or improvement on it.

The MXR M75 Super Badass lives up to its name when it comes to tone and versatility. Specifications Most importantly: Don’t let convention tell you what pedals you should/shouldn’t use. Let your ears be the judge. Who makes the best distortion pedal? Then there is the other factor – resale value. A distortion pedal from a well-known pedal brand is going to retain its value better than a pedal brand nobody has heard of before. The RAT 2 is a true bypass pedal. True bypass pedals let your signal pass through the unit unaltered when the pedal isn't engaged, as is preferred by many tone purists. This can be especially important if you plan on using multiple pedals. There’s a magnetic flip-down compartment so you can swap out the battery without needing a screwdriver. Quite the time saver, particularly in the studio or on stage.Interesting, your synth outputs would be line level, are you using line level or instrument level pedals, do you use an additional device? Sure, it does the high gain thing incredibly well and that’s one of the reasons it’s so popular. And one of the reasons I bought one. The Danelectro 3699 fUZZ (and the much earlier cheapo, French Toast) are clones of the fOXX Tone Machine. Trey August 23, 2022 For example, one preset could be the fuzz and overdrive, while the second preset could be all three. I’d go as far as to say that it’s become somewhat of an industry standard. And that’s not surprising considering it was initially released in the early 1980s.

Below we've put together a list of popular pedals and their corresponding inexpensive clones, some of which we sell. These are all real clones, not pedals which pretend to be original and cost twice as much as the pedal they're cloning. So the ones we list here are clones, and don't try to hide that fact (and in some cases even make it obvious with a nod to the original in the name).Caline Orange Burst FTW, none of the others came close, noodling on La Grange, the pedal sounded great whatever the settings, no-brainer, it had dimension and clarity the others didn't. My perfect pedal. Although a classic distortion pedal, it's not for those who want more control over their tone. It may not please those who want a more modern and defined distortion flavor. While you can get reasonably close to a particular distorted sound, don't get too obsessed about getting to perfect. Unless you can invest in other important factors like amps, cables, other pedals and most important of all - playing technique. A company called DemonFX have been making quite a few clones recently. They've got the Revv G3, a few Darkglass pedals, Friedman BEOD, Origin Cali76 several KoT pedals and others. We've not included them on this list because to us they're closer to counterfeits than clones since they keep the branding almost identical. You May Also Like The RAT 2 is a surprisingly versatile distortion pedal with an unmistakable sound signature. It leans more to the "fuzz" side of the spectrum than many pedals featured on this list. The pedal is still capable of everything from light overdrive to heavy levels of distortion.

The Empress Effects Multidrive is the best distortion pedal for flexibility that is designed to deliver amp-like guitar tones. The Empress Effects Multidrive is another versatile stompbox – it includes a distortion, fuzz, and overdrive pedal in a single pedal. You can switch between different combinations and have access to a variety of toggle switches, 3-band EQ, and more. The best distortion pedals: final thoughts It features three different gain toggle settings as well as Level, Gain, and Tone control knobs. The circuitry is housed in an all-metal enclosure.Those things are so cheap and compact, I'd like to use them to insert essential FX to individual synths (at the moment, I have a pedalboard bus set up as sends for the lot of them).

If we're talking about great distortion pedals, the DS-1 is not to be ignored. The DS-1 Distortion pedal has made its way into my setup more than once or twice in my playing career. Don't be fooled by the compact size of the Rowin LEF-324 Plexion pedal as it is more than tough enough to deal with some serious stage stomping when attached to any pedalboard so you can feel confident during any live performance. The Walrus Audio Iron Horse V2 is a great distortion pedal. It’s based on the classic RAT pedal but offers more flexibility and improved tone. There’s also the Fender Pugilist Distortion, EQD Acapulco Gold, and Empress Effects Multidrive. What is the most versatile distortion pedal? We then narrowed down our scope and excluded other dirt pedal types like fuzz, overdrive and multi-effects pedals. This means that popular overdrive pedals like the Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini are not included.The dual overdrive and distortion pedal features the 6-position mode selector to use the two pedals separately or in different configurations to combine them with a serial or parallel circuit. This way, you get quite a high range of tones to shape your sound. On another note, been trying some pedals through a Laney LC30II, Mooer Hustle drive, Mosky Obsessive Overdrive, Joyo Vintage Overdrive , Rowin Plexion and Caline Orange Burst. Terms you’re going to hear thrown around a lot when you’re looking for a pedal are: buffered bypass, hardwired bypass, and true bypass. These three terms describe what happens to your guitar’s signal when the pedal isn’t engaged. It runs the risk of being thin and shrill at times, and I would sometimes use it as a simple boost for amps with an already good drive channel.
