The Radio Havana pedal is known for its lo-fi revolution in a box, breaking tonal conformity and producing a tone reminiscent of a small transistor radio. It is very responsive to pickup choices and string manipulation, and the center "disorder" knob allows users to dial in any amount of clipping decay desired, exposing a characteristic static appeal. This pedal is suitable for breakdowns and artistic expressions of decay, with exciting applications for less traditional instruments and a perfect fit for scratchy-throated bass tones.
