They say:

The Pull Focus is a high gain distortion pedal, with either a reverb or chorus effect fading in after a short while. 

The distortion is all analog, the reverb, chorus and the fade-in are all digital. Plus there’s a noise gate too, which unobtrusively keeps the pedal silent when you’re not playing.

It’s very intuitive and fun to use!  It’s a multi-effects pedal, of a very particular kind….

Distortion

The distortion is made from our favourite overdrive circuit (from Reverb-X, El Distorto etc), but going into the back end of the Tonebender circuit that we made for Colorsound - when we did our collaboration on their Freakenbender pedal a while back. 

We worked hard to make it as balanced, versatile, powerful and silent as possible, ending up with an incredibly satisfying sound. Full-range, not very scooped, tonally.

There are ‘volume’, ‘tone’, and ‘gain’ controls - the gain goes from a loose, mild overdrive up to a massive chunky sound - through to a tiny hint of sag.

Fade In

Developed originally for our Break Box pedal, the Pull Focus has the same delayed fade-in for the chorus or reverb effect - but with an adjustable fade-in ramp; with the ‘ramp’ knob fully CCW the effect is in all the time, but as you start to turn it the effect takes a short while (less than a second?) to appear after the pick attack. As you turn it more, this delay time gradually increases - to around four seconds maximum, until at fully CW it never actually comes in at all, ie if you only want distortion you can turn off that effect totally.

Chorus Or Reverb

The chorus is deep (modulated signal equal to unmodulated), and only rate-adjustable, with a very wide range of speeds available - from the ‘effect’ knob. Great for shimmery sustaining chords, or a double-tracking effect. It goes from a very slow twist (think Jane’s Addiction/Smashing Pumpkins?) through a mid-speed obvious modulation (Bowie’s ‘Lodger’?) up to a fast psychotic wobble (Devo? Spongebob/Peewee Herman??)

The ‘effect’ knob is dual-purpose; press the ‘effect’ switch and the chorus sound is replaced by a spectacular digital reverb effect, which - turning the knob - goes from a subtle, small room/almost not there, right up to a hall reverb - and tons of it! 

So with lots of short notes (eg fast soloing) the guitar is totally dry all the time, but intense and powerfully distorted. But play a long note or chord and the reverb blooms into a huge spatial thing; all your long bent notes automatically grow into epic, swooping sounds, full of emotion and with the ambience of a big space! It’s incredibly dynamic to play through!

However with the next note you play it dramatically snaps off hard - back to a totally dry distortion - close, and focused…

So the listener’s attention is drawn from up-close and in-your-face to a more distant reverbed sound - and then back; just as in film-making, a ‘pull focus’ leads the viewers attention from a face close by (a further-away face being blurred) to a face further away (the close-by one now being blurred). 

The Pull Focus pedal is a very ‘3D’ effect, your guitar automatically moving from near to far away in an original and exciting way.

Active Sustain

This fading-in of the secondary effect is actually ‘active sustain’; you feel a definite increase in your guitar signal level - as opposed to the usual dying away. 

On the chorus setting this feels like a churning wave coming from behind to lift you forwards. 

With reverb it’s a monster growing out of your guitar!

There’s an on/off status LED, plus a large ‘ramp’ LED - which gives a visual indication of what’s going on sonically.

There’s a ‘sens.’ switch - adjusting sensitivity of the gate and pick detection circuits - to ensure they work great whatever kind of instrument output you’re using.

It’s true bypass, has custom-designed knobs, and is housed in another deeply cool Rainger FX custom enclosure. Desk-style, a slight flare to it, and symmetrical - to help all our OCD musician friends.

It’s been developed from our Break Box pedal - but without the vinyl scratch, and with a reverb option.

Great idea, but the quality control..
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 25-Foot
*TLDR, Too Long Didn't Read* Do Not waste your money. Failed right out of box. Leaked at above freezing temps With upstream pressure regulator. Did not test the heating feature due to the hose leaking from under the insulation sleeve somewhere. Very disappointed. Build your own or insulate well. If you do choose to take a gamble with this item then Thoroughly test it as soon as it arrives and take pics/ video. Would share the video but it won't upload correctly, (not too tech savvy), but I know plumbing, mechanical, etc. The long review: Other reviews have mentioned the hose leaking or failing Even with pressure regulators (which we use and replace regularly) - this is factual. Failed on first hookup Before it reached the freezing temps. Please Do Not Buy this sub par constructed item. It's a shame really since we have bought a lot of Camco branded items over the years. Our unit seemed ok out of the box (bought on sale weeks before the cold season and didn't need it til about 6 days after the return window closed). I should have tested as soon as it arrived but Optimistically Trusted with the 'name brand' mindset. Amazon was courteous, but did not do anything for us except refer us to Camco to try to get them to replace the defective hose. Take our hard learned lesson and many others and Do Not buy these products. Either research youtube for making one from scratch yourself or over insulate your water lines/ hoses and set everything to drip during sub freezing temps (mostly applying to full time rvers or camping in colder climates). We bought the 1in diameter 1/2 in thick 6ft foam pipe insulation (about R2 insul value), foil backed fiberglass pipe insulation (R6 insul value), and then waterproofed with an outer sheath of reflectix and zip ties from lowe's and have had no issues down to 18 degrees with lower wind chills (installed on the fresh water hose, pressure regulator, and water in line filter from spigot post to camper and also wrapped the spigot for good measure). Our rig is 4 season/ belly insulation and sheet metal bottom no skirt. **Invest in the two way hose splitter off the spigot, add quick disconnects, then a "Freeze Miser" or similar product** It will automatically open and drip before it reaches freezing temps to prevent the water line from freezing. Easy to unbox, easy to install (like a regular hose), Only After testing for leaking or defects plug into appropriate safe and rated outlet. Not super heavy (25ft). Keeps a semi coiled memory after unboxing but seems to relax and become somewhat flexible. Nice color. Looks quality at first glance (even though several reviewers like us have had defective units).

Highly recommended
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 25-Foot
I’ve been using this hose for several years now. Plug it in and it heats the hose whenever the temperature drops to 40 or less. My hose has made it through several freezes and works 24/7 with no problems. I will buy another when the times comes.

BOUGHT 2 AND BOTH TERRIBLE
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 50-Foot, Style: -20-Degree, Size: 50-Foot
I bought two of these products 6 months apart from each other (march 2024 and October 2024) both brand new out of the box leaked from this hose connection fitting and is not fixable by replacing the standard hose gasket. Thought maybe it was just the first one was just a dud. It was not, the 2nd one was exactly the same and leaked out of BOTH connection fittings aswell. Yes i tried new gaskets, thread tape / dope, trying to tighten it a bit more, pressure reducer down to abt 35 psi. None of which worked. This product has potential of being good but they used such a low quality connection that it ruins the whole thing. Havent gotten to the point where Ive used it below freezing for more than 1 night so I cant comment on the freeze proofness of it. Tested it with an electrical meter and it uses 690W when plugged in and below the temp rating. I ended up having to repair the hose myself because I couldnt order a chinese brand one instead without running out of time before freezing temps (photographed repair of what is necessary for this to funtion propertly out of the box) but for the price point this hose is at I expect it to last at least 2 years without issues at least, I especially DO NOT expect it to leak being brand new out of the box. If you are going to do the repair you have to carefully cut the insulated sleeve back a few inches without cutting the hose or heated wire and then cut the original hose connector off. At that point you can use pretty much any hose repair threaded connector with a hefty hose clamp nice and tight (dont strip the hose clamp threads though). After spending another 15 min on the repair and $10 in parts you will then have a functional hose for at least 1 week. We'll see how long it lasts now.

Hasn't froze yet
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 25-Foot
Ive been using this for 2 winters now. Its not lost its color, its not kinked, its still rigid and sturdy. It rolls up compact and fits into storage easy when warm. It can be difficult when cold. Easy to use, you just need typical wall power and a water source. Its been buried in nearly a foot of snow and single digit cold and hasn't froze yet.

A 5 year sentence
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 50-Foot
I’ve had this hose for 5yrs and it just sprang a leak and now I need to replace it lol. I’d say that’s pretty damn good for a hose that gets constant daily use. When the weather gets into the sub zeros it does freeze up, even with added heat tape and foam insulation around it all buried about half a foot underground. All in all, even with the freezing I’d say it was a great hose, very durable, not too stiff but a durable firmness, it connected very easily and with the thread tape on it never leaked.
