Tech 21 Red Ripper Distortion Bass Effects Pedal $189 The Tech 21 Red Ripper Bass Distortion Pedal is more than a simple distortion box—it responds to the dynamics of your touch as you play. Play your bass harder for more fuzz and higher harmonics, ease up for less fuzz and enhanced lower harmonics. The Red Ripper bass pedal's nasty little secret is the R.I.P. control, which powers your bass tone from vintage fuzz, to tectonic distortion and into the realms of Brassmaster-style octaver fuzz. Dime the R.I.P. and enjoy the violent stabs of a Moogie-style synth tone. While the Red Ripper can emulate the tones of an envelope filter, the signal is not actually being filtered, so your tone won't thin out and drop off when the effect is engaged.Unlike vintage devices, all this gory fun comes with modern benefits. The Red Ripper bass pedal's active 3-band EQ delivers studio-grade tone-shaping in a compact pedal, while the Level and Drive controls let you find the sweet spot between dirt and volume. There's also a Low Pass Filter switch to compensate for full-range bass systems equipped with tweeters. Buffered bypass and a silent-switching, custom footswitch actuator complete the Red Ripper bass pedal package.The Red Ripper bass pedal's level and drive controls work like a traditional, well-equipped amp. Low, Mid, and High are active controls, providing a wider array of tonal possibilities. The Red Ripper's Character knob is a continuously-variable control that moves seamlessly between different model voicings, covering vintage, high-gain, and face-melting lead tones. The Character and Mid controls, and the speaker emulations, are all engineered to personify the specific amplifier traits and the speakers associated with each amplifier type. Tech 21 effects pedals are designed using the best spec components, full-metal construction and a whole lot of coffee. The result is a line of guitar and bass effects that are inspiring and eminently usable. Unlike many 'one-trick' pedals, each Tech 21 effect is a feature-rich stompbox loaded with great tones for you to explore. Tech 21 pedals boast professional details like touring-tough construction, high impedance inputs and low impedance outputs for signal integrity, with smooth, custom actuators for silent switching. |

Fulltone GT-500 FET Distortion + Booster and Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal Red $179.15 The GT-500 Effects Pedal from Fulltone is a discrete FET Hi-Gain Distortion and Overdrive Booster in one box. You could think of them as 2 separate pedals, or think of them as stages to be linked together for endless combinations. The Hi-Gain side has Volume, Distortion knobs, Bass, Mid, and Highs minipots. Its Booster Side has Volume, Overdrive knobs, Bass and Highs minipots.Hard-clipped distortion—the way most guitar pedals achieve distortion—at one point in a circuit can be cool, but stage after stage of FET (GT-500) is very real, very amplike, and has ridiculous amounts of sustain even at low volume. It does the great chunky low-string rhythm stuff and cleans up incredibly well when you turn down the guitar's volume. The Fulltone GT500 contains 9 FETs, 2 Mosfets, and 1 Transistor with no opamps or clipping diodes used.What's special about the EQ? The Hi-Gain side has a discrete Inductor-Driven Midrange circuit—never been done in a pedal before. There's a wah-wah inductor inside the pedal that gives the Midrange control its ability to drastically increase or decrease the entire Low Mid, Mid, and Hi-Mid frequencies, to comical proportions. All this is done without any opamps—this has 100% discrete matched FETs.This Mid control mixed with a strong Bass and Treble control help give the Fulltone GT-500 the ability to dial in more variations than a simple tone control, which can only roll off the Highs.The Series Select Switch allows you to choose which pedal comes first (allowing you to instantly change the order of the 2 circuits). For example: A clean boost slamming into the front end a Distortion sounds way different than a Distortion followed by the clean boost, and when the EQs of the respective sides come into play, it's a wide-open canvas. Regardless of which side of the effects pedal is designated as first in line, you can still use each side by itself, completely independent of the other side. |
