Tech 21 Red Ripper Distortion Bass Effects Pedal Released.......

When we received our first batch I tried one out. I like it and it can get some interesting sounds from a Moog-esque synth vibe to an extremely gnarly roar, but I recently picked up both the Leeds and Oxford character series pedals. So along with my VTBass, I think I've got the grindy bass thing covered pretty good.
 
Yeah, I ordered it, own it and love it, and decided to make a demo of it.

It is an awesome pedal, especially because it's dynamic: the intensity of the tone changes when you play louder or softer. I also really like the synth/distortion combination.

As far as I am concerned it's one of the coolest around, because it finally does something new.

Here you go:

Great demo thanks a lot!

I like the synthy sound you get with the setting where you boost the bass knob to maximum.

What's the thing next to the LED? Switch or super small knob? What is it for?
