STAX LEF-301B DIST-II Distortion Pedal 3 Mode RAT Clone True Bypass Mini Metal Guitar High Gain Effect--Shipped from Irvine Warehouse in California by USPS

Product Overview

STAX LEF-301B DIST-II is a compact pure analog distortion pedal faithfully cloned from classic Pro Co RAT circuit, delivering versatile high-gain gritty distortion tones for grunge, hard rock, heavy metal, blues and garage rock, exclusive for electric guitar.

Top three-way toggle switch offers three completely distinct distortion voicings to cover full gain range from mild crunch to saturated metal drive:

1. Natural Mode: Smooth mild mid-focused vintage grit, dynamic low-gain crunch for classic blues & rhythm rock riffs, retains full picking touch response;
2. Tight Mode: Tightened low end, focused crisp midrange bite, less muddy low-frequency bloom, perfect for fast metal rhythm palm muting;
3. Classic Mode: Full saturated thick RAT-style distortion, rich upper harmonic fizz, iconic raw grunge lead sustain for expressive solo lines.
4. Three intuitive control knobs realize full tone shaping: GAIN adjusts distortion saturation depth, TONE balances bright piercing treble or warm rounded midrange, LEVEL matches output loudness to eliminate abrupt volume jumps when toggling bypass and effect.
5. Smooth sky-blue die-cast zinc alloy ultra-mini chassis occupies minimal space on crowded pedalboards, ideal for bedroom practice, studio gritty rock tone recording and portable live stage gigs.
6. Built with industrial-standard 3PDT hardwire true bypass circuit, fully preserving the raw uncolored clean tone of your instrument with zero signal loss, bass roll-off or artificial tone coloration when distortion is disabled.

3. Product Safety Precautions

1. Power SafetyOnly use regulated DC 9V center-negative power adapter with minimum 500mA output. Mismatched voltage or reversed polarity will permanently damage internal analog circuits. Unplug power supply when unused or during thunderstorms to avoid surge burnout. This pedal DOES NOT support battery power supply.
2. Mechanical Operation SafetyDo not apply heavy force to footswitch, three control knobs, top mode toggle and 1/4” audio jacks to prevent internal hardware disconnection & failure. Unauthorized disassembly of zinc alloy housing voids the 6-month limited warranty for pre-owned 95% like-new inventory.
3. Cleaning & Storage RulesClean metal housing only with dry soft microfiber cloth; alcohol, chemical solvents, detergent or abrasive polish are strictly prohibited. Store pedals in cool dry indoor environment, avoid long-term direct sunlight, high humidity, violent vibration and heavy physical impact.
4. Usage Environment WarningDo not operate this distortion pedal near water, rainy outdoor stages or high-power magnetic equipment to prevent audio signal distortion and short-circuit risk.
