One Control Dyna Red Distortion 4K - DRD4k - Dynamic and Responsive Effects Pedal for Electric Guitar - NEW!
One Control Dyna Red Distortion 4K OC-DRD4K
BJFe Series Distortion Pedal for Electric Guitar
Distortion is a must for nearly all heavy music. Occupying a sonic space that is distinctly different than overdrive or fuzz pedals, classic distortion boxes were aiming to create a heavier yet smooth sound. The new One Control Dyna Red Distortion 4k is the culmination of two decades of handbuilt production of the venerable BJFe Dyna Red Distortion. This red pedal was one of the very the first BJFe distortion pedals created by guitar effects guru Bjorn Juhl, and over the last 20 years or so it has found itself on the pedals boards of countless professional touring and studio musician’s around the world. This is the latest evolution of the Dyna Red, with many tweaks learned along the way and a brand new fourth knob (4K) that helps dial this pedal in even more precisely, for ease of use with a wider variety of amplifiers as compared to the original models.
This pedal is designed to give you a beautiful, organic distortion reminiscent of the halcyon days of early to mid-70s UK voiced amplifiers, cranked up to 10 with the tubes worn down just a little, and maybe a little "browning" of the sound with a Variac. It is incredibly dynamic and responsive. It cleans up beautifully when you roll back the volume control on your guitar, and MELTS YOUR FACE OFF when you crank it back up. While playing solos, notes will seem to “pop” effortlessly off the fingerboard. Chunky rhythm riffs seem to chug and groove with ease, all with an attitude that cuts through the mix. Plug into the Dyna Red and feed it to any amplifier – Whether classic Marshall / UK-style, Blackface Fender Americana, even a Solid State Stereo Chorus amp! Pretty much any ubiquitous backline amplifier a player may encounter will sound better with the Dyna Red Distortion 4K.
The new 4K knob configuration is designed to help dial in the critical treble frequencies for a wider variety of amplifier situations. Set it at noon, dial in the pedal to suit your needs for gain, and then experiment with the setting of the fourth knob. See how it almost brings the sound forward or backwards in the mix spatially. You can also think of this knob as a sort of "presence" control, but it's much more than that. It's a very psychoacoustic thing happening, more than just an upper mid bump. This pedal is very close to an "amp in a box" AIAB style machine in the classic 70s UK amp mold, and it responds especially well to being boosted and prodded by preamp, EQ, and other first pedals. Like many of Bjorn's creations, the DRD4K can end up being the core of your classic rock sound, with other pedals adding a bit more gain or EQ boost to take your solos into the stratosphere. A great "stack" for the DRD would include the Little Green Emphaser pedal, which was a BJFe Custom Shop model (very rare) that was included as a two pedal special set to work together as a tonal team!

Bjorn's Thoughts:
The Treble control was originally designed to be about equal bypass at about 9 o'clock. This fit many amplifiers and speakers, but there were some that it didn’t work so well with so last year an additional 4K (presence) control was added and that completed the design for the One Control DRD4K.
Also, since this is a design with an OP amp, it draws very little current and the DRD4K can work down to 5 volts, which is the definite end of a battery’s life. At about 5 volts an internal bias trap havocs and there is an additional distortion mechanism. So, if you have a variable supply, listen as you turn down voltage and the sound gets more complex 5-6 volts.
