Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal

The Rowin LEF-305 is an analog distortion pedal built for electric guitar players who want a classic 80s metal tone. It features a full metal mini enclosure that fits easily on crowded pedalboards. Three selectable modes — Lo Boost, Boost Off and Hi Boost — shape the gain character from a narrow high-frequency lift to a heavier saturated drive. True bypass switching keeps the clean signal transparent when the effect is disengaged.

Simple Pedalboard Installation

The unit runs on a standard DC 9V negative-centre power supply, which is the common format for most pedalboard power bricks. Input impedance is 1M ohms and output impedance is 470 ohms, so it matches typical guitar and amplifier connections without extra buffers. The compact 3.7 by 1.8 by 2.1 inch footprint leaves little room for error when routing patch cables, so plan the signal chain order before securing it. An LED indicator confirms the active mode at a glance.

25 mA Current Draw Decides Compatibility

The pedal draws 25 mA during operation, a figure that determines whether your existing power supply can handle it alongside other effects. If your power brick has limited per-output current, this draw may restrict how many additional pedals you can chain on the same tap. Buyers who need a lower current draw or a different voltage standard will need to look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Rowin LEF-305 is working correctly after connecting it?

Engage the footswitch; the LED indicator lights up to show the effect is active. Cycle through Lo Boost, Boost Off and Hi Boost modes to hear the distinct distortion character of each setting. True bypass ensures your clean tone passes unchanged when the pedal is off.

What comes in the box with the Rowin LEF-305 and what must I buy separately?

The package includes the Holy War distortion pedal, a user manual and the packing box. A 9 V DC centre-negative power supply is not included and must be purchased separately to operate the unit.

Which of the three boost modes on the Rowin LEF-305 should I choose for classic 80s metal rhythm tones?

Select Hi Boost for the highest amount of added gain and a tighter, more aggressive distortion suited to classic 80s metal rhythm playing. Lo Boost adds a subtle high-frequency lift, while Boost Off leaves the core distortion circuit untouched.
