The Land Devices Hunter is a stereo distortion pedal, a type of gain pedal that keeps its left and right channels separate from input to output. Pedal of the Day describes it as based on "a classic op-amp circuit with proper tone shaping added", and it carries a Dry Blend along with independent treble and bass controls. Guitar Pedal X listed it at $299 on the Land Devices Store when it was announced in September 202512.
Why it exists
Pedal of the Day tells the origin story plainly: "a friend of Land Devices needed a stereo gain effects pedal with a blend control. None were to be found, so they made it"1. That gap in the market is the pedal's whole reason for being, and it shapes what the Hunter offers that most distortion pedals do not.
Stereo connectivity
Most stereo pedals, as Pedal of the Day notes, offer only mono input and stereo output, and stereo dirt pedals are rare. The Hunter has true stereo inputs and outputs, and "the ins and out can be used with mono or stereo connections"1. A player with a single amp or a mono pedalboard can use it like any ordinary distortion; a player running two amps or a stereo rig can keep both channels separate through the effect.
Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Gain | Turn clockwise to increase distortion1 |
| Treble | Independent treble control for dialing in high end1 |
| Bass | Independent bass control for dialing in low end1 |
| Dry Blend | Blends the unaffected signal with the distorted signal2 |
The treble and bass controls work separately rather than as a single tone knob, which Pedal of the Day says "let you really dial things in"1.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day's reviewer came away positive, summing up the pedal as "Killer connectivity options + a wide scope of dirt tones = one badass mamajama"1. The reviewer also noted the enclosure is bright red1.

Questions
Does the Land Devices Hunter work with a mono rig?
Yes. Pedal of the Day notes that the Hunter's inputs and outputs can be used with mono or stereo connections, so a player with a single mono chain can run it exactly like a standard distortion pedal, while a player with a stereo setup can take advantage of both channels.
Is the Hunter true stereo in and out?
Yes. Pedal of the Day points out that many stereo pedals offer only mono input and stereo output, and that stereo dirt pedals are rare, but the Hunter has true stereo inputs and outputs rather than only mono in and stereo out.
What circuit is the Hunter Stereo Distortion based on?
Pedal of the Day describes the Hunter as based on a classic op-amp circuit with proper tone shaping added. Land Devices developed it because a friend needed a stereo gain pedal with a blend control and none could be found, so they made one.
Does the Hunter have a dry blend control?
Yes. Guitar Pedal X's release coverage lists the Hunter as a stereo distortion with a Dry Blend, and the pedal also carries independent treble and bass controls that Pedal of the Day says let you really dial things in.
