Here’s what Rainger FX say about the Rainger FX Pull Focus Distortion with Dynamic Reverb or Chorus Pedal:

The Pull Focus is a high gain distortion pedal, with either a reverb or chorus effect fading in after a short while. It has a noise gate too, which unobtrusively keeps the pedal silent when you’re not playing. The distortion is all analog, the reverb and chorus are digital. It’s a multi-effects pedal, of a very particular kind….

Distortion

The distortion is made from our favourite overdrive circuit, 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 chunky tone. Full-range, not very scooped, tonally.
There are ‘volume’, ‘tone’, and ‘gain’ controls.

Fade In

Developed originally for our Break Box pedal, the Pull Focus has the same delayed fade-in for the chorus 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 eight seconds maximum, until at fully CW it never actually comes in at all, ie in practice you can turn off that effect totally if you only want distortion.

Chorus Or Reverb

Press the ‘effect’ switch and the chorus sound is replaced by a spectacular digital reverb effect!
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 it blooms into a huge spatial thing; all your long bent notes automatically grow into massive, swooping sounds, full of emotion and with the ambience of a hall-sized reverb! It’s incredibly fun and dynamic to play through!
 
However with the next note you play it dramatically snaps off hard – back to totally dry, 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.
There’s a dual-purpose ‘effect’ knob, which – when using chorus – adjusts the speed of the modulation. When using reverb though this knob decides the depth and size of the reverberation. This goes from a cavernous effect right down to an almost-not-there small room-y thing; great for when you don’t want the obvious reverb mushroom cloud, but you’d like your long-held notes to seem…. somehow extra profound! But in a way that the audience may not even consciously register…

Active Sustain

This fading-in of the secondary effect is actually ‘active sustain’, 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!
The chorus speed goes from a very slow twist (think Jane’s Addiction/Smashing Pumpkins double-tracked?) through a mid-tempo obvious modulation (Bowie’s ‘Lodger’?) up to a fast psychotic wobble (Devo? Spongebob/Peewee Herman??)
 
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 ‘quiet guitar boost’ switch – to ensure the noise gate and pick detection circuits work great whatever kind of instrument you’re using.
It’s true bypass, and 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.

Boost

A boost pedal does one simple thing brilliantly — it makes your signal louder, stronger, and more alive. Whether you’re pushing a valve amp into natural breakup, lifting a solo above the band, or adding a touch more presence to your core tone, a clean boost gives you extra headroom without changing your character.

Use it at the front of your chain to drive other pedals harder, or after your gain stages to raise volume without adding distortion. Subtle or powerful, transparent or slightly coloured, a boost is one of the most useful tools on any pedalboard — small box, big difference.

Chorus

A chorus pedal thickens and widens your tone by subtly duplicating your signal and shifting it slightly out of tune and time. The result is movement — shimmering cleans, liquid arpeggios, and that unmistakable 80s swirl that makes single notes feel fuller and chords sound expansive. From gentle sparkle to deep, watery modulation, chorus adds dimension without overwhelming your core sound.

Use it to bring life to clean passages, soften driven tones, or create spacious textures that sit beautifully in a band mix. Whether you’re after subtle depth or bold, warbling character, a chorus pedal is a simple way to make your guitar sound bigger, richer, and more immersive.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

noise gate

A noise gate pedal keeps your rig tight and controlled by cutting unwanted hiss and hum when you’re not playing. High-gain setups, stacked pedals, and long signal chains can introduce background noise — a noise gate steps in to silence it cleanly, letting your riffs start and stop with precision.

Use it to sharpen heavy rhythm parts, tame buzzing single-coils, or clean up complex pedalboards without sacrificing sustain. Dial it subtle for transparent control or tighter for that sharp, percussive stop-start effect — either way, it keeps your sound focused and professional.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Reverb

A reverb pedal is like the rich sauce that ties every flavour on the plate into one smooth experience. It adds depth, warmth, and atmosphere — the sonic equivalent of a perfectly reduced glaze that lingers on the tongue. Whether you’re after the subtle ambience of a cosy café (spring or plate reverb) or the grand echoes of a cathedral (hall or shimmer reverb), this is where your tone breathes and expands. A touch of reverb can turn a dry sound into something lush and inviting — but pour on too much, and it’s all you can taste. Used with finesse, it’s the finishing touch that transforms your tone from plain to unforgettable.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
