Stella

Deep, and beautiful.
A distortion that glimmers like the night sky.

Lose yourself in sound, under a starry sky.
A beautifully organized, new-generation distortion

"Crank the gain and the chords collapse into mush."
"I don't like the boomy low end and grit typical of distortion."

Virtues Stella answers exactly that kind of guitarist's ideal.

True to its name, here's how Cullate sees the appeal of a distortion with a beauty like a star shining in the night sky.

Endlessly clear cut-through,
a classic distortion done right

The first surprise is a striking transparency that never disappears no matter how deep you push the gain.
It has the powerful, satisfying mids you expect from distortion, yet the moment you strum open chords, a fine, clear high end sparkles through.

Just as irresistible for a guitarist is the tight, deep low end you feel in your chest when bridge-muting the low strings.
The Treble and Bass knobs never disturb that core, excellent sound — they simply let you fine-tune brighter or milder to match your own guitar, in a design that's forgiving and easy to handle.

Never clouds up even at low gain,
remarkable expressiveness

"Distortion" often brings to mind a tool for intense lead soloing. But Stella's real strength shows when you roll the gain back, or roll off your guitar's volume.

Even dialed back to crunch, Stella keeps a tight, cohesive low end and a solid core.

Only the unwanted grit gets cleared away, letting the beautiful separation of each note stand out even more. From a quiet arpeggio to emotional chord cutting, it has remarkable depth, shifting its expression moment to moment with just your guitar's volume, like a star's flicker.

Beauty and care that make you happy just to own it

A beautiful deep blue enclosure, with a simple, refined cursive logo. Minimal and polished enough to satisfy on a pedalboard, or simply sitting on a desk.

The LED that glows blue at its center also shifts to red as the battery runs low — a thoughtful touch for younger players without a full power supply, or anyone who deliberately prefers battery power.
Inspired by a classic (the RAT), yet refining its character for today's music scene, this is a pedal that could well be called a new standard leading the next era.

Product Info

Virtues presents a new standard distortion, "Stella."

Taking cues from a classic distortion legend (RAT), this pedal pushes the overwhelming clarity and tight, clean low end that today's guitarists want to their limit.

No matter how deep you push the drive, each note keeps its clean separation, and even with gain turned down it holds a tight core — expressive enough to cover everything from fierce lead solos to quiet arpeggios. Plug in, and a sound as bright as stars in the night sky spreads out, pulling your playing into a comfortable focus. A new-generation standard.
