Created to mimic red channel of the Bogner Ecstasy head, famous for its incendiary higher gain crunch and lead tones, this pedal offers five discrete Class A gain stages providing clarity, touch sensitivity and note separation never before achieved in distortion pedal, and a boost function with independently lit volume control.

The Ecstasy Red offers a "Variac" switch that adds a "dropped voltage" dynamic compression to the feel and sound, a "Mode" switch that shapes the general EQ curve and gain levels, a "Pre EQ" switch that controls the openness and presence of higher range harmonics and a "Structure" switch that recreated EQ shifts and gain structures from various eras/models of Ecstasy amplifiers.

Even if powered by "only" 9V internally the voltage is elevated substantially, to allow the pedal to reach a greater dynamic range which closely resembles the feel of the Ecstasy head.
