The NUX Recto Distortion nails authentic rectifier-esque high-gain distortion. One of the most sought-after amp tones is delivered in a compact pedal format. Known for its tight aggressive sound quality this is the ideal pedal for metal and heavier genres in general. From crispy to sludgy if youre seeking added bite for your tone- this pedal delivers in abundance. All-analog circuitry accurately replicates every nuance of extreme amp breakup with hard clipping and loads of gain on tap. Just use the detailed controls to dial-in a myriad of high-gain distorted tones all while the true bypass switching stops any tone bleed keeping your dry signal pure. For all things heavy the Recto does the business.

Distortion Pedals
Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
True Bypass
Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
