RAINGER FX DFST-1 STEALTH FUZZ LIMITED EDITION.
TheRainger FXDFST-1 (Stealth) is the latest incarnation of the companys legendary Dr. Freakenstein fuzz / distortion circuit, shrunken down to radar-evading mini-pedal size, in a uniquely aerodynamic, sleek black enclosure.
It features two modes of operationEnvelope, and Stepoffering a huge range of otherworldly, extreme fuzz sounds, from larger-than-life modulated chunk, and syrupy, filtered sustain, to step-modulated synth blast. The signature hard gating makes heavy, staccato riffs particularly satisfying.
Its on-board control set is wide ranging and intuitive, and it has a CV-in socket for external control. All jacks are on the top of the pedal, making it easy to integrate into any pedalboard. The Rainger FX DFST-1 (Stealth) also features a built-in pad so you can use it with synthesizers and other instruments with hot output signals.
Rainger FX have solved the problem of detection by enemy radar, with the launch of the DFST-1 (Stealth) distortion pedal. Based on their Dr Freakenstein full-on distortion circuit, its an extreme fuzz pedal with two main modes of working; either with an envelope-shaped overtone, or a variable speed overtone modulationbut in a step cycling configuration.
The envelope mode reacts to the incoming signal envelope, and gives extremely vocal tone stings that dive down to a Geiger Counter crackle, or sustain in a resonant howlall with ultra quietness in between from the built-in Freakenstein noise gate.
The step modulation meanwhile takes it into a more techno realm, and – with the cycle re-starting from the beginning of a step with each new phrase thats played – its possible to have the steps in time with the track youre playing to (once the modulation speed is in the right ballpark).
Housed in another Rainger FX custom enclosure design, based on their minipedal – but this time aerodynamically flared out, and with wings – the DFST-1 (Stealth) has two blue signal present LEDs discretely hidden underneath the pedal, shining out under the sides like a pimped-out street racer.

- Extreme soundsventuring into synth-like filter squelches
