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.

Chorus — A chorus pedal works by splitting your signal, slightly delaying one part and modulating its pitch before blending it back with the original. The result is a rich, shimmering tone that feels wide and fluid, almost as if several guitars are playing together in unison. It’s an effect that can add life and movement to your playing, making clean tones sound lush and dreamy or adding a subtle shimmer to warm overdrive. From the classic 80s shimmer heard on countless records to modern ambient textures, the chorus effect remains timeless. Whether you want a gentle swirl for rhythm parts or a deep, detuned wash for atmospheric soundscapes, a good chorus pedal brings space and dimension to your tone. It’s a staple on many pedalboards for its ability to transform even the simplest chords into something spacious and expressive.  . 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.. Dynamic. Focus. FX — FX is short for effects, referring to pedals or units that alter or enhance your sound in some way. This can include anything from overdrive and distortion to delay, reverb, modulation and more experimental sound shaping. FX are used to add character, space, movement or control to your tone, helping you shape a sound that fits your playing style and musical context.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.. 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..
