Danelectro Roebuck Distortion Pedal

The Danelectro Roebuck Distortion Pedal is a straight-up beast—no frills, no fluff, just devastatingly rich, amp-like distortion inspired by one of the most elusive Japanese pedals of the early ’90s. Built for guitarists who crave harmonic detail, dynamic response, and the kind of drive that sings whether you’re chugging rhythm or soaring through leads, the Roebuck offers a unique blend of warmth and grit that’s equally at home on a boutique board or a brutal backline.

At the heart of this pedal lies a MOSFET-based distortion circuit, delivering tube-style break-up with a velvety smoothness that cuts through without getting harsh or brittle. But what really sets the Roebuck apart is its three-way clipping mode switch. This lets you toggle between three distinct flavours of gain—ranging from soft, compressed overdrive to aggressive, open distortion—perfect for tailoring your tone to the genre, the guitar, or just your mood that day.

With its 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble), you’re in full control of your tone shape. Scoop it for that tight, modern punch, or push the mids for vintage bite and presence—whatever you dial in, the Roebuck responds with clarity and character.

Wrapped in a beautifully distressed metal enclosure with that unmistakable Danelectro quirk, this pedal doesn’t just sound vintage—it feels it. It’s rugged, road-ready, and built to be stomped on night after night. If your board is missing a distortion with soul, punch, and tweakability, the Roebuck might just be your new favourite noise-maker.
