R3FX Dual Resistafier

R3fx Dual Resistafier Review: The R3FX Dual Resistafier is a hi-gain distortion pedal designed to have a similar tone to a Dual Rectifier. It has all the ingredients a good distortion pedal should have: Clarity, punch, low noise and versatility. This is the 2 channel version, with separate gain controls and a channel switcher. You can also order a one-channel version, but the 2 channel one gives you a lot more versatility.
