RL60 Tube Booster
An Echoplex-style JFET input and tube stage add harmonics, level and touch sensitivity. The Shape selector ranges from Edge to Big Fat without masking the instrument.

Pedals
Six original designs, from tube boost to a 66-watt stomp amp, all centred on dynamics, bandwidth and character.
No copies. No shortcuts.
The guitar's own voice stays out front.
Every RL pedal began as a circuit developed in the workshop, never as a replica of an existing design.
True bypass, selected components and a response designed to preserve the instrument's tone. These circuits enrich harmonics and touch sensitivity without hollowing out the original sound.

RL70 Tube Overdrive
An open, lightly compressed tube overdrive for 1970s crunch and dynamic lead sounds. Shape moves the response from bright to warm while retaining the guitar's identity.

RL80 Tube Distortion
Dense, creamy saturation inspired by 1980s heavy metal, with added presence but no flat, lifeless response. Bright and Shape tune the attack and body.

ESA Drive
Three clipping levels and two responses, Smooth and Edge, provide six voices in one stompbox. Active bass and treble EQ moves from a British cut to a broader American-style response.

ESA Drive+
The more aggressive ESA Drive evolution adds a cascaded saturation stage. More attack and density, from vintage drive to high gain, while retaining a wide frequency response.
