.ritual. Distortion Pedal

Lichtlaerm Audio .ritual.

The .ritual. is Lichtlaerm Audio's dark ode to modern post-metal distortion, fusing RAT-inspired circuitry with extended dynamics, clipping modes, and an internal 27V boost. Designed in collaboration with members of Amenra, it takes the snarling grit of a ProCo RAT and vastly expands it with active 2-band Baxandall style EQ, a switchable COMP mode for diode clipping, and the proprietary CUT control that reshapes the saturation envelope and response. The result is a distortion pedal capable of modern, articulate tightness or droning walls of doom alike. An independently footswitchable boost adds up to 35dB of gain and can be voiced full-range, mid-focused, or treble-forward—ideal for unleashing harmonic-laden chaos or surgically pushing an amp. If you love the sound of the RAT, .ritual. from Lichtlaerm is a pedal you won't want to miss.
