“On the chorus setting, this feels like a churning wave – with reverb, it’s a monster growing out of your guitar”: Rainger FX has found a way to make distortion pedals fresh again – fade-in multi-FX
John Frusciante and Vernon Reid-approved boutique pedal company Rainger FX has introduced a high-gain analog distortion pedal with the unusual feature of a secondary fade-in reverb or chorus. As the brand puts it, “It’s a multi-effects pedal, of a very particular kind.”
The main effect, distortion, is built from a combination of the Rainger FX Reverb-X overdrive circuit and the Tonebender circuit that the brand had used for its Colorsound pedal. The result is a “full-range, balanced tone” that goes from “very mild overdrive to thick, chunky distortion,” with separate controls for volume and tone.
