The Ritual is a super organic, meaty distortion sound based on the classic Proco RAT, but vastly improved by using highest quality parts, adding an active 2 band Baxandall style tone stack, way more output and a bigger range on the gain control than the original.

Features:

  • Lichtlaerm Audio Smart Relay Technology
  • 3 different clipping forms
  • Comp switch to turn the first gain stage into 2 distinct forms of soft clipping overdrive, giving you modern sounds unheard of RAT-style pedals
  • Cut to define the overall feel and tightnessof the distortion
  • 2 band active EQ with fixed mid band
  • Boost switchable to full range, mid and treble focus
  • Gain & volume with insane range and headroom
  • 9V center-negative power supply (27V internally created)
  • Made in Germany

A completely unique feature is the comp switch that adds 2 different clipping diodes to the first gain stage, adding compression, gain and smoothing out the gain structure, bringing you into way more modern areas of sound than you’d ever expect from a RAT!

We also included an internal low pass filter that gives you even more control over the sound! For the relaunch, we added our proprietary cut control that gives you full control over the saturation and overall feel of the gain structure: modern and percussive sounds, classic distortion with a good amount of hair and warmth or full on drone sounds that make you want to put on a robe and let your chords ring out for minutes!

The independently foot-switchable boost circuit is a vastly improved version of our tried and proven boost from the Altar and gives you up to 35dB of slightly gritty boost that can be used as a full range boost (O))), anyone?), mid boost or a treble boost, which cleans up the low end and adds a lot of nice harmonics.

This thing gives you anything from early Darkthrone to Sunn O))) walls of drone, yet is best suited for Neurosis, Isis, Amenra type sounds that have become synonymous with the term Post Metal!
