Radial Dragster: The Load Correction Device for Natural Tone

The Dragster™ is a super-compact load correction device that lets you adjust the load on your electric guitar pickup to replicate the sound as if connected directly to a tube guitar amp. This is the fundamental reason why guitarists hate the sound of wireless systems and non-true-bypass pedals.

When a guitar is connected to a guitar amplifier, the pickup and the amp join together to form a circuit. But as soon as you introduce a buffer in between the pickup and the amplifier, the natural relationship is lost. The pickup only ‘sees’ the buffer and the tone changes. The Dragster solves this problem by adjusting the impedance on your magnetic pickups, restoring the full rich tone of your instrument. Simply connect your guitar or bass to the Dragster, set the thumbwheel to the sound you like and you are ready to go!

Key Features

• Tone Correction: Adjusts the load on magnetic pickups for a more natural and warm sound, particularly useful for harsh-sounding active buffers and wireless systems.
• Compact and Lightweight: Its tiny size and light weight make it easy to fit on any pedalboard and carry anywhere.
• Easy Mounting: The built-in mounting flanges make it a breeze to attach to a guitar strap.

Dragster Applications

Recording with the Dragster: Connect your bass or electric guitar to the Dragster and use it to get a more natural tone when recording. This can be particularly useful if you plan to Reamp at a later stage.

Warming up your pedal chain: The active buffers inside your pedals can change the clean tone of your guitar going to your amp. The Dragster reintroduces the natural tone and feel as if connected directly to your amp by letting you adjust the load to compensate.

Using the Dragster on a wireless system: The buffer inside a wireless system is rarely optimized for a magnetic pickup. The Dragster lets you adjust the load on the pickup for a smoother, more natural tone. Simply connect your guitar to the Dragster before you send the signal to the transmitter.
