We’re talking a touch-sensitive response, rich harmonics, natural compression and a smooth transition from clean tones into satisfying breakup. And with an expanded set of controls, you can really fine-tune your sound.
The straightforward three-knob layout makes it easy to dial in your ideal tone. Drive controls everything from subtle warmth to full-bodied overdrive, while Tone lets you shape the pedal's voice without masking the natural character of your guitar and amp. A dedicated Master control gives you plenty of output on tap too, whether you're after a transparent volume lift or want to hit the front end of your amp a little harder.
Where the Rapture really shines is its pair of interactive toggle switches. More increases the available gain range, while Mod alters the clipping characteristics for a more open, less compressed response that feels closer to a tube amp running near the edge of clean headroom.
Mix and match the two switches alongside the Drive control to explore different levels of headroom, saturation and playing feel. Prefer the original Triptychon drive sound? Simply leave both switches in their down positions.
If you liked the drive section of Crazy Tube Circuits' Triptychon, you'll feel right at home with the Rapture. Taking that amp-inspired foundation and turning it into a dedicated overdrive pedal, Rapture captures everything players love about a great valve amp pushed into its sweet spot.
