393 Distortion
The Rastop 393 Distortion is a truly unique stompbox that brings a distinctive, violin-like voice to your guitar tone. Powered by an unusual combination of a LM393 comparator and an NE571 expander, this pedal delivers a remarkably responsive and dynamic distortion unlike anything else on the market. What makes the 393 so special is its ability to capture the slow, singing attack of a violin, with a midrange-focused voice that's both gritty and harmonically rich. The dual gain structure allows you to dial in anything from a sensitive, instrument-responsive crunch to a towering, Robert Fripp-esque infinite sustain - all while maintaining a tight, focused low-end that won't muddy up your sound. Guitarists in search of a truly distinctive lead tone will find the 393 to be an indispensable tool. The unique circuit design produces an abundance of artificial harmonics and violin-like expression, making it perfect for everything from Jeff Beck-inspired blues-rock to more experimental, ambient soundscapes. And with true bypass switching, you can seamlessly integrate the 393 into your existing rig without compromising your core tone. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate hobbyist, the Rastop 393 Distortion offers a refreshingly unique sonic palette that's sure to inspire your playing and unlock new creative possibilities. It's a pedal that defies easy categorization, inviting you to explore the outer reaches of guitar distortion.
