RaD
The SHIGEMORI RaD is a professional-grade, boutique distortion pedal handcrafted in Japan. Renowned for its exceptional build quality, the pedal features a robust enclosure precision-milled from a solid block of aluminum, which contributes to its low-noise performance and unique tonal character. Positioned as a versatile "amp-in-a-box," the RaD is designed to deliver a wide range of drive from clean to full gain without sacrificing the original character of the guitar or amplifier. Unlike conventional distortion units, the RaD is celebrated for its touch sensitivity and "amp-like" response, offering a thick, powerful sound with distinct compression and harmonic richness. To prevent circuit copying, the internal board is often covered in epoxy resin. The pedal typically features a standard four-knob interface for Volume, Peak, Bass, and Treble, allowing for precise tonal sculpting. It is a favored choice for professional musicians seeking high-end Japanese craftsmanship and clear, high-gain tones.
