London, England (November 21, 2018) — Magnetic Effects are pleased to release the Lonely Robot.
The Lonely Robot is a limited-edition, Rat-inspired overdrive/distortion pedal.
Expanded tonal options and an internal voltage doubler take this Rat inspired pedal to new sonic places. Running the gamut from overdrive though to distortion and fuzz, the Lonely Robot is a versatile drive pedal that builds upon a legend.
One of its extra features comes in the form of a post-gain active bass eq that allows for boosting or cutting of the low end.
The EQ Control alters the amount of gain applied at specific frequencies. Turning to the right will result in a brighter, tighter tone with more gain. Turning to the left will result in a fuller tone with less gain. You can use the EQ control to alter the overall voicing of the pedal. (Note: this a tweaked version of what is commonly know as the “Reutz” mod.)
The Clip Control alters the clipping threshold. You can use the Clip control to dial in the precise amount of compression and harmonic saturation. The more gain added, the more range this control has.
In addition to the extra tone tailoring options on tap, a voltage doubler increases the headroom available.
The Lonely Robot has a high input impedance and low output impedance. This makes it compatible with buffered effects in the signal chain. The Lonely Robot uses True Bypass switching.
Features:
- Top mounted Jacks and DC socket
- Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, EQ and Clip controls
- Internal voltage doubler
- Standard 9V DC adapter operation

Retail: £125 plus shipping.
