Description

Unleash the ferocity of your sound with the Grobert Effects Pirate, a distortion pedal that pays homage to the iconic Rat™ while pushing the limits of sonic creativity. Designed for guitarists who crave more than just a vintage crunch, the Pirate opens up a treasure chest of tonal possibilities. With its expanded controls, this pedal goes beyond mere distortion, offering a dynamic playground for your audio experiments.

The Pirate's DRY knob is a game changer, allowing you to blend your dry signal with the overdriven tone for unparalleled clarity and punch, even at high saturation levels. This feature is ideal for players who want to maintain note definition in complex chords or riffs. Moreover, the VOICE knob, known affectionately as the "4th knob," lets you sculpt your sound from dark and thick to piercing and bright, ensuring your fuzz is always just the way you like it.

For those who love to experiment, the Pirate includes a STOCK/INSANE toggle switch that removes clipping diodes for a raw, untamed fuzz experience. Alternatively, the STOCK/GERM toggle lets you switch between standard silicon diodes and vintage germanium for a softer, more nuanced clipping.

All these features are housed in a striking, glitter-black enclosure with illuminated knobs and footswitch rings, making it as eye-catching as it is ear-catching. The Pirate is more than just a pedal—it's a statement piece for your pedalboard.

Key Features:

  • Transparent booster with independent footswitch
  • Effects Order toggle for customizable signal path
  • DRY knob for blending dry and distorted signals
  • VOICE knob for tonal character adjustment
  • STOCK/INSANE and STOCK/GERM toggle switches for diode selection
  • Illuminated knobs and footswitch rings
  • 9V DC power requirement
  • Lifetime warranty with signature assurance
