Collision Devices The Ranch

Collision Devices · pedal

Collision Devices built The Ranch as a combination boost, drive, and dynamic tremolo pedal, its most distinctive feature a tremolo circuit that reacts to playing dynamics rather than staying fixed at one speed, oscillating faster the harder a player attacks the strings. The drive section runs off three controls, Dust for gain, Bright for EQ and harmonic shaping, and Strength for output volume, while the enclosure itself is built from walnut and Pinatex, a sustainable material made from pineapple leaf fiber, an agricultural byproduct, reflecting the company's stated commitment to environmentally conscious materials alongside its unconventional circuit design.

  • “For players specifically seeking dynamics-responsive modulation , The Ranch represents one of the more creatively engineered boutique pedals currently available in that specific niche”

    — from the reviews

  • “In a chain the combined drive and dynamic tremolo circuit lets a single pedal cover ground that would otherwise require two separate units, a boost or overdrive plus a tremolo pedal”
