Here's what Rainger FX say about the Drone Rainger:
This is the most atmospheric, cinematic pedal that we do…
It’s a dub-flavoured digital delay (based on our Echo-X delay pedal), that also produces low, throbbing drones that can also be mixed through the delay circuit. If you play shoegaze, doom/heavy/psychedelic rock, or ambient music it’s a fantastic tool for making a powerful base note to play over. Maybe you play in a two piece band? Then it’s essential! You’re a solo electric guitarist making sonic textures?…. You improvise over an atmospheric backing? The Drone Rainger is for you!
The guitar signal and the drone signal are independently mixed through the same delay circuit (about 1 second maximum repeat time), with a totally dry guitar switching option. There are actually two analogue tone generators inside the Drone Rainger making up the sound – one with a 12-way selector switch, the other free-moving – so that when they’re tuned nearly the same, you get interesting ‘beats’ created between the two of them. Blend them to suit using the ‘mix’ knob.
Extra Footswitches
The drones also have two instantaneous effects that can be switched in with a footswitch while you play guitar; one is a ‘tone-down’ pitch dropping effect – making the pitch sag in a truly ominous way! The other is a white noise burst – made by the delay chip – that echoes away into the distance…
It’s also possible to set the pedal to produce two separate notes – and to footswitch between the two while you play, which is extremely useful if the song you’re playing has a section with a different base note or a key change. And if you’re playing along to music that isn’t stictly tuned to pitch, you can adapt using the pedal’s ‘fine tune’ knob.
Like all our stompboxes, it’s housed in a custom-designed enclosure – this one a distinctive desk-style with seven sides. The window in the main front panel is a window into the Drone Rainger’s soul – an aerial view of an industrial part of a city, complete with streets and cars, car parks and streetlamps, toxic chemical silos! A dystopian vision to match the powerful hypnotic sounds…..
This is a truly unique pedal in many ways, that can be played as an instrument in itself.

Delay
A delay pedal is used to create an echo effect by repeating the original sound after a short time. It works by capturing the input signal and then replaying it with adjustable delay time and feedback. The longer the delay time and the more feedback, the more pronounced the repeating echo becomes, adding depth and space to the sound.
There are different types of delay pedals, including analogue, digital, and tape delay. Analog delay provides a warmer, more natural echo, while digital delay offers clear, precise repeats and additional features like tap tempo. Tape delay mimics the sound of vintage tape machines, adding a distinctive, slightly warbled effect. Delay pedals are widely used across genres to create atmosphere, enhance solos, or add complexity to rhythms.
Digital
A digital pedal processes the guitar signal using digital signal processing (DSP) instead of analogue circuitry. This allows for precise, high-fidelity effects, longer delay and reverb times, advanced modulation, and extensive programmability. Digital pedals often feature multiple effect types, presets, MIDI control, and deep parameter editing, making them ideal for versatile sound design. While some players prefer the warmth of analogue effects, modern digital pedals can accurately emulate classic sounds or create entirely new tones. Popular digital pedals include the Strymon Timeline (delay), Eventide H9 (multi-effect), and Line 6 HX Stomp (amp and effects modeller), offering studio-quality sound in a compact format.
FX
FX (short for “effects”) refers to a broad range of audio processing units used to alter or enhance the sound of musical instruments, particularly guitars, basses, and keyboards. These effects can range from simple tone adjustments to more complex transformations of the sound, adding texture, depth, and character to the performance. Common types of FX include delay, reverb, overdrive, distortion, modulation, chorus, flanger, phaser, and wah.
FX can be used in various combinations to create unique sounds and atmospheres, and they are typically found in the form of pedals or rack-mounted units. Some musicians also use multi-effects processors, which combine several effects in a single unit for convenience and versatility. FX are essential in shaping a musician’s tone, helping to define their signature sound, whether it’s a subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
