Death By Audio x Rainger FX Amp Crash Amplifier Effect Pedal

Barreling headfirst into wild, new territories, the Death By Audio x Rainger FX Amp Crash is a journey where no amp (or pedal, or microphone, even!) has gone before. This outrageous collab from DBA and Rainger bucks traditional effect pedal, amplifier, and microphone wisdom for an all-in-one Frankenstein of distortion, modulation, reverb, and more – with all the liveliness of naturally-occurring feedback and resonance.

Death By Audio and Rainger FX team up for a truly off-the-wall creation. Combining their powers, the Amp Crash is a best-of-both-worlds of either brand pushing forward to something new. The something in question is a hybrid effect pedal-microphone-amplifier with enormously powerful design and deeply expressive tone. This creation's journey began with the drive to put a microphone inside a guitar pedal, so it might pick up ambient room tone to blend with your guitar signal. With this concept established, the plan moved forward with the question, "...but what if it had its own speaker, too?"

The Death By Audio x Rainger FX Amp Crash is a triple-threat effect pedal, speaker, and analog amplifier unit with a built-in microphone. Capable of being placed in your effect pedal signal path, hooked up to a speaker cabinet as you would any other amp head, or played on its lonesome with its built-in speaker, the Amp Crash produces a massively unique musical experience while pumping out its own sound. A compact, low-watt amplifier tone produced by its three-watt amp design and two-inch speaker matches with a built-in multi-effect suite with reverb, delay, and chorus effects tuned for classic DBA discordance. All the while, the Amp Crash's built-in microphone is picking up ambient room noise to put a fifth wall in whatever room your in – a wall of noise, that is!

Controls throughout the Amp Crash offer plenty of angles of attack. Front-facing controls for the pedal's internal microphone gain and amplifier gain sent to its Output connection shape the sound of the experience. Gain and Tone controls perform intuitively like your favorite amp, with an "Overload" zone giving the whole trip a loving shove into Noiserocklünd. An external speaker connection breaks out the Amp Crash to 8-Ohm, three-watt minimum speakers for supersizing the whole affair. Standard nine-volt, center-negative power supplies operating at 300mA minimum bring the Amp Crash to life.

If you think you've never seen – or even heard of – something like the DBA x Rainger Amp Crash, you are so, so right! Never ones to play it traditional or turn down a challenge, Death By Audio and Rainger FX barrel through convention like the Kool-Aid Man with the Amp Crash. Oh yeah.
