BJR - Refined Brutalist Jr.
The God City Instruments BJR - Refined Brutalist Jr. is a distortion pedal that takes the raw power of the original Brutalist Jr. and refines it to sonic perfection. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Providence Stampede, this pedal delivers a high-gain distortion tone that's equal parts ferocious and articulate. At the heart of the BJR is a carefully-tuned circuit that unleashes a wall of gain, yet maintains impressive clarity and responsiveness. The "loudness" control allows you to shape the overall character, dialing in everything from a tight, focused crunch to a thick, saturated roar. But the real secret sauce is the "edge" mod, which adds an extra layer of harmonically-rich grit that cuts through the mix with authority. What sets the BJR apart is its exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic range. Guitarists can go from delicate, nuanced overdrive to searing lead tones simply by adjusting their pick attack. And thanks to the clickless relay switching, you can engage this beast with total silence, preserving your signal's integrity. The BJR has become a favorite of high-gain enthusiasts, including renowned shredder Marty Friedman, who relies on its aggressive yet musical distortion to power his scorching solos. Whether you're playing classic metal, modern djent, or anything in between, the Refined Brutalist Jr. is a pedal that will elevate your sound to divine levels of brutality.
