Description:  

The Pull Focus is a high gain distortion pedal, with either a reverb or chorus effect fading in after a short while. 

The distortion is all analog, the reverb, chorus and the fade-in are all digital. 

Plus there’s a noise gate too, which unobtrusively keeps the pedal silent when you’re not playing.

It’s very intuitive and fun to use!

It’s a multi-effects pedal, of a very particular kind….

Distortion

The distortion is made from our favourite overdrive circuit (from Reverb-X, El Distorto etc), but going into the back end of the Tonebender circuit that we made for Colorsound - when we did our collaboration on their Freakenbender pedal a while back. 

We worked hard to make it as balanced, versatile, powerful and silent as possible, ending up with an incredibly satisfying sound. Full-range, not very scooped, tonally.

There are ‘volume’, ‘tone’, and ‘gain’ controls - the gain goes from a loose, mild overdrive up to a massive chunky sound - through to a tiny hint of sag.

Fade In

Developed originally for our Break Box pedal, the Pull Focus has the same delayed fade-in for the chorus or reverb effect - but with an adjustable fade-in ramp; with the ‘ramp’ knob fully CCW the effect is in all the time, but as you start to turn it the effect takes a short while (less than a second?) to appear after the pick attack. As you turn it more, this delay time gradually increases - to around four seconds maximum, until at fully CW it never actually comes in at all, ie if you only want distortion you can turn off that effect totally.

Chorus Or Reverb

The chorus is deep (modulated signal equal to unmodulated), and only rate-adjustable, with a very wide range of speeds available - from the ‘effect’ knob. Great for shimmery sustaining chords, or a double-tracking effect. It goes from a very slow twist (think Jane’s Addiction/Smashing Pumpkins?) through a mid-speed obvious modulation (Bowie’s ‘Lodger’?) up to a fast psychotic wobble (Devo? Spongebob/Peewee Herman??)

The ‘effect’ knob is dual-purpose; press the ‘effect’ switch and the chorus sound is replaced by a spectacular digital reverb effect, which - turning the knob - goes from a subtle, small room/almost not there, right up to a hall reverb - and tons of it! 

So with lots of short notes (eg fast soloing) the guitar is totally dry all the time, but intense and powerfully distorted. But play a long note or chord and the reverb blooms into a huge spatial thing; all your long bent notes automatically grow into epic, swooping sounds, full of emotion and with the ambience of a big space! It’s incredibly dynamic to play through!

However with the next note you play it dramatically snaps off hard - back to a totally dry distortion - close, and focussed…

So the listener’s attention is drawn from up-close and in-your-face to a more distant reverbed sound - and then back; just as in film-making, a ‘pull focus’ leads the viewers attention from a face close by (a further-away face being blurred) to a face further away (the close-by one now being blurred). 

The Pull Focus pedal is a very ‘3D’ effect, your guitar automatically moving from near to far away in an original and exciting way.

Active Sustain

This fading-in of the secondary effect is actually ‘active sustain’; you feel a definite increase in your guitar signal level - as opposed to the usual dying away. 

On the chorus setting this feels like a churning wave coming from behind to lift you forwards. 

With reverb it’s a monster growing out of your guitar!

There’s an on/off status LED, plus a large ‘ramp’ LED - which gives a visual indication of what’s going on sonically.

There’s a ‘sens.’ switch - adjusting sensitivity of the gate and pick detection circuits - to ensure they work great whatever kind of instrument output you’re using.

It’s true bypass, has custom-designed knobs, and is housed in another deeply cool Rainger FX custom enclosure. Desk-style, a slight flare to it, and symmetrical - to help all our OCD musician friends.

It’s been developed from our Break Box pedal - but without the vinyl scratch, and with a reverb option.

    a modern love story
    Format: Kindle
    This book captured my attention from the first line. She has a way of making you feel the emotions, heartache, and even loving memories she shares. I literally remember stopping to tell my boyfriend I couldn't wait to have kids because of the way she described picking up her children from school and their innocent smiles as soon as they saw her. It's a tragedy and a love story, and a coming to her own all in one. Loved this book!

    Memories Are Made of This
    Format: Kindle
    Belle Burden has overcome a weighty burden—pun intended! Strangers is a book of many colors. There is so much of the overcast gray of heartbreak and estrangement. There is plenty of the blue of heavy disappointment and grief. But happily for every reader, there are so many of the bright colors of happiness and fulfillment. The premise of this memoir has been well documented—a wealthy, privileged life led by a woman of means is interrupted by the abrupt departure of her husband for points unknown. Children remain—-lodged in some difficult ‘tween years. Central is the woman who just happens to be made of pretty stern stuff as it turns out and who is a brilliant writer. Belle Burden is the belle of her own tale. She shares it all with the reader in un-put-down-able prose, sparing nothing, We are richer for reading Belle Burden’s beautifully crafted memoir. The warm glow of hope is there for all to share. Well done!

    Surprisingly Unputdownable
    Format: Kindle
    I read saw several reviews that said this book wasn’t really about anything, and they were right. There was no big drama, no fighting, no headline news. But there was something in the writing that felt profound and I couldn’t stop reading. And I’m glad I didn’t. In the end for me, this was a story about a marriage, and choices that were made and the strength of a woman who wouldn’t be silent, and the writing that brought so much emotion with it that I wound up feeling all of it so deeply. And when a writer can create those feelings in me, then her book was definitely worth reading. I highly recommend this book - I don’t think you’ll regret the time you spend in its pages. I know I didn’t.

    Slightly Interesting
    Format: Kindle
    First, I think Belle is a great writer. There was a lot of effort put into making this a very readable book. I also think that what happened to her really was terrible. Her husband 100% was wrong in what he did to her with the affair and his disappearance. Ultimately, her marriage prior to the betrayal seemed very superficial. She acknowledges that she chose the comforts of wealth over a close relationship. She had a part time husband/father and honestly it's not surprising that he left. He was barely there to begin. Her absolute terror in imagining that she would drop down from the top 0.1% down to around the top 1% was not the compelling tragedy that she seems to think it is. Her bemoaning of the loss of ultra luxuries tended to diminish the emotional toll of her plight. The book is laced through with the eventual end that her husband is going to take his assets and half of hers, but it never happens. I think she wants to relate the uncertainty and fear that she had, but it comes off as fake panic. In the end, it's a sad story, but it was very predictable. It's a story about a woman who outsourced her responsibilities, who doesn't know how to operate without extreme wealth, and who shudders at the prospect of having to work a job. It was a short book, but 3 times longer than necessary.

    Raw and Honest
    Format: Hardcover
    I admit I purchased this book because of all the hype, but also because I have been, since childhood, intrigued by her various family legacies (Burden, Vanderbilt, Cushing, Fairbanks), and their alliances (Whitney, Astor, Roosevelt, etc). I was not sure what to expect, but I am grateful I read this book. Being a queer man I probably am not the core audience for this book, I can attest it is still a great read. Ms. Burden is amazingly candid and honest in a way I don't think most people in her situation would be. I can already tell that there will probably be countless reviews about how privileged her life was even during and after her divorce, and how unrelatable this book is for many people, but then you are missing something. If you want to judge Ms. Burden for things she had no control over then you should examine your own life. My hat off to the author for being so open about such private matters in her life, and also for doing a great job shielding her children in life and in the book. I hope it is true that there is a movie/series being made that will star Gwyneth Paltrow. I love Gwyneth, and if the author won't play herself I think Gwyneth is an amazing choice for her poise, acting ability, and class. Can't recommend this enough! OH, I am curious to know if anyone who read this book read Wendy Burden's memoir Dead End Gene Pool. I LOVE that book, but it is so very very different, and I am curious to know if Wendy and Amanda get along irl.
