Moth Electric has introduced the C. regalis overdrive pedal, a powerful and versatile tool for both guitar and bass players. This USA-made pedal delivers a massive boost, natural overdrive, and intense distortion, making it an excellent addition to any pedalboard. The C. regalis is designed to meet the needs of players who want flexibility, with features like active treble and bass controls, a clean blend, Smooth/Crunch modes, and true-bypass switching.
The C. regalis pedal uses six op-amps to power a dynamic, crunchy overdrive circuit. It provides the ability to boost or cut treble and bass by +/- 15db, allowing players to tailor the sound to their instrument and amp preferences. The clean blend feature is another standout, enabling players to mix in their amp’s natural tone or incorporate other effects, creating a more transparent overdrive sound.
Additionally, the pedal offers two modes, Smooth and Crunch, that change the pedal’s character. The ‘Smooth’ mode increases sustain, while the ‘Crunch’ mode introduces high-order harmonics for added texture and complexity. This pedal offers a wide range of sonic possibilities, from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion.
The C. regalis includes the following controls: Bass, Treble, Blend, Volume, and Drive, as well as the Smooth/Crunch mode toggle. It also provides more volume than most users will ever need, ensuring it can handle any performance or recording situation. The pedal features true-bypass switching, top-mounted jacks for easy placement on crowded pedalboards, and operates with a 9-volt DC power supply, eliminating the need for a battery compartment.
Hand-built in the USA using high-quality through-hole components, the C. regalis pedal is priced at $179.99 and is available now.
