One Control Dyna Red Distortion 4K - Demo By Hans Johansson

Bjorn's Thoughts: The DRD just turned 20 years old, and was the second BJF model to be released in spring time 2000. The original idea behind DRD was to get a specific rhythm sound that you can get with distortion knob set at little below noon, depending upon pickups. At the time, distortion boxes could do full on distortion but rarely convincing semi-distorted sounds that could be dynamically controlled. This is a sound I personally would have much use for, as it allows changing sound from seemingly clean to distorted and is most useful when playing rhythms. As a designer, I also felt tempted to go full on distortion but then to make this dynamic distortion I needed so to say remove any 80’s tendencies. Of course you can set a dense, heavy distortion with the DRD4K, but it is older in sound and not as streamlined. So when it was time to name it, I told my wife that this is a red distortion box that is dynamic and it became the Dyna Red Distortion. The Treble control was originally designed to be about equal bypass at about 9 o'clock. This fit many amplifiers and speakers, but there were some that it didn’t work so well with so last year an additional 4K (presence) control was added and that completed the design for the One Control DRD4K. With this new knob, sound could be brought back and forth in the sound picture and the response was tuned with an amp that is known to be difficult on distortion pedals. A note on the design is that since this is a design with an OP amp, it draws only a little current - this model can work down to 5 volts, which is the definite end of a battery’s life. At about 5 volts an internal bias trap havocs and there is an additional distortion mechanism. So, if you have a variable supply, listen as you turn down voltage and the sound gets more complex around 6 down to 5 volts. The BJF DRD 100 was complimented with a gift in form of a prebooster called Little Green Emphaser and so was the DRD 200 in the original BJFe line.
