Description

Edit description

Unleash the raw analog magic of vintage studio sound with the MXNHLT Effects PORTA424 Channel Strip Distortion. This pedal isn't just another effect—it's a tribute to the classic 4-track cassette recorder, distilling its iconic single channel into a compact and portable form. Whether you're chasing the nostalgic warmth of a home studio or craving the gritty edge of a distorted channel, the meticulously reconstructed gain staging is your ticket to sonic authenticity. The PORTA424 lets you effortlessly shape your tone with input trim, treble and bass shelving EQ, channel fader, and master volume controls, ensuring a precise and versatile sound sculpting experience.

Designed for musicians who refuse to compromise on quality, this pedal can sit comfortably at the end of your effects chain for those familiar DI tones or take the lead with its thick, gritty distortion. The true bypass switching ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is not engaged. It's a remarkable blend of heritage and innovation, designed for those who wish to bring the golden era of analog to the stage without the bulk of vintage gear.

Key Features:

Recreation of classic 4-track cassette recorder channel
Meticulously reconstructed gain staging
Input trim, treble and bass shelving EQ, channel fader, and master volume
True bypass switching with latching foot switch
Standard 9V DC power input, up to 18V capable
Compact 125B size enclosure
