Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
The Recto Distortion delivers tones inspired by an iconic Petaluma amplifier, revolutionizing your playing experience with high-quality distortion and unmatched tonal character.
Overview
The Recto Distortion is more than just a distortion pedal; it embodies the timeless spirit of the amplifier that inspired it. With a clean, warm, and well-defined tone, this pedal will appeal to musicians across all genres, from rock to metal. Its incredible power and rich bass response make it an essential tool for anyone seeking exceptional saturation.
Powerful distortion with surprising versatility
Equipped with a responsive gain knob, the Recto Distortion delivers distortion that is both warm and precise. At mid-range, it generates a dense, punchy sound, while cranked to the max, it offers a compressed tone with plenty of sustain. Surprisingly, its low gain setting produces a warm, musical crunch—ideal for rock riffs.
A Clean Interface for Intuitive Adjustment
The Recto Distortion stands out for its ease of use. Its two-band passive EQ section allows for quick and effective adjustments. The gain and volume controls are easily accessible, while the true-bypass switch ensures your tone remains intact when the pedal is disengaged.
