www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Retro-Sonic Distortion Pedal is a remake of the infamous RAT Distortion pedal. High quality components and uncompromising attention to detail are apparent when you plug in the Retro-Sonic Distortion Pedal.

The Retro-Sonic Distortion pedal is based on an LM308 op-amp design, and features true bypass switching, with Distortion, Tone and Level controls. Together, these provide a wide range of tonal possibilities, from subtly distorted blues tones through to classic rock and metal.

As added flexibility, Retro-Sonic has incorporated two internal trim pots to allow adjustment to the frequency response of the gain structure. This gives Distortion users the option to tailor the overall response of the pedal to taste, by reducing or increasing the mix of high or low end content. More tonal flexibility can be explored through multiple clipping options via a 3 position mini toggle switch, which selects symmetrical-diode, asymmetrical-diode, or LED clipping.

The Retro-Sonic Distortion is a professional quality effect pedal that recaptures the much sought-after "vintage vibe." It is a truly versatile and musical pedal design that responds to touch, producing a big, natural, harmonically rich tone that works with any guitar-pedal-amp configuration.

  • Im looking for a black crowes like distortion...any suggestions,?

  • @Loomy1112 Hey mate. I would say go for the Retro-Sonic Distortion, unless you want to get a RAT 2 to do some mods on it...

  • @tkudelj1 while strumming the chord he pulls down (towards the body of the guitar) the tremolo arm and then he releases it! Hope it helps...

    (I'm italian so I dunno if I axplained it well!)

  • i like that chord or 0:37... I dont know what is it... very very strange sounding effect or what?!?!?! please someone tell me!

  • @ilovemyfender1 its at the end of the video, and it sounds awesome

  • @Loomy1112 I was wondering the same thing, did you buy one or the other yet? And if so, which one did you like better?

    Also, can someone tell me which one to get, the Proco RAT 2 or the Retro-Sonic Distortion?

  • I Just got three Reto Sonic pedals (Chorus/Phaser/Distortion.)

    The Distortion is really really nice...I love it...lots of tonal options, but simple to operate!

    I have been using only a RAT as a distortion since 1985, because I could not stand all the noisy artificial alternatives, but the Retro Sonic is truly a keeper!

    Love your vids Andy...you are the best my friend!
