The Rocktek DIR-01 Distortion Pedal is a classic 1990s-era distortion unit known for its raw, aggressive gain and simple, no-nonsense design. Perfect for players chasing classic rock, hard rock, punk, and early metal tones, the DIR-01 delivers everything from crunchy overdrive to saturated distortion.
Featuring an intuitive 3-knob layout (Level, Tone, Distortion), this pedal makes it easy to dial in usable sounds quickly, whether you’re pushing a clean amp or tightening up an already driven channel. The distortion character is bold and edgy, with plenty of bite for riffs and lead work.
Built in Taiwan, Rocktek pedals are well regarded for their solid construction and excellent value, making the DIR-01 a great choice for budget-conscious players, pedal collectors, or anyone looking for a vintage-style distortion without boutique prices.
