SHIPPING TO THE USA – The Royal Mail has created a new PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) service, which will calculate exact costs at the moment we book your shipping. While we are happy to absorb some of the costs, if the cost of the pre-paid duty is significantly more than what you have paid when placing your order, we will be in touch to request the balance is covered by you.
If in doubt, get in touch and we can give you an accurate quote in advance.
We offer free 48-hour tracked UK delivery on all orders over £150! Order before 9pm for next-working-day dispatch.
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns so you can pick the item you want safe in the knowledge that if it's not for you, we'll take it back and refund your order.
International deliveries are subject to additional import duties and VAT at your local rate. These charges are payable to the courier at time of delivery. Calculate how much you will need to pay here.
Please note that some orders may take longer to be processed before shipping during the busiest periods of the year.
Customers hold the right to return a product for a full refund if I am notified within 30 days of delivery.
If a product is delivered in a defective or damaged condition, please contact me immediately with details of your order.
To be eligible for a return, the item must be in the same condition
that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
Please note, the cost of return delivery is to be paid by the customer. This will be reimbursed if the item is shown to be faulty.
To complete a return, I require a receipt or proof of purchase. Please do not send any items back to the manufacturer, and please do not send any items to me without contacting me first.
Once I have confirmed that I will process your return, please send the item to:

My first course of action for faulty items is to replace them like-for-like. If this is not possible, a full refund will be considered as an alternative.
If returned within the 30-day period, your refund will be processed and a credit will be applied to your credit card or original method of payment.
The customer is responsible for paying return shipping costs. Shipping costs are non-refundable unless a product is proven to be damaged or faulty upon delivery.
It is recommended that items should be returned using a trackable shipping service in case the item goes missing en route.
Bring the physical weight, depth, and tactile response of a cranked amplifier directly to your pedalboard with the Lichtlaerm Audio Ragnarøk.
This isn’t an emulation – it's an authentic high-voltage valve circuit engineered for players who require both nuanced harmonic richness and devastating high-gain saturation.
Whether you need a studio-ready preamp, a standalone Distortion, or a flexible Boost to push your amp, the Ragnarøk delivers an experience that solid-state circuits and digital models simply cannot dream of replicating.
At its core, the Ragnarøk operates on a high-voltage design to ensure maximum headroom and authentic valve compression. It ships with NOS 6n2P preamp valves, but was designed with tweakers in mind: an internal switch allows you to seamlessly swap in standard ECC83/12AX7s to fine-tune your gain structure.
Sonically, the Ragnarøk pedal draws inspiration from the lead channels of Lichtlaerm’s flagship Prometheus amplifier, re-imagined with a distinctly American voicing and a plate-driven tone-stack.
The result is a responsive drive where chords have massive low-end weight, and intricate single-note lines cut through the mix with immediate clarity.
The Ragnarøk is engineered to adapt to modern live and studio workflows.
Front of Amp Run the Ragnarøk into a clean pedal platform to instantly add two dedicated gain channels, utilising the pedal's switchable 3- and 4-stage gain modes. Alternatively, use it as a harmonically rich Boost to push an already-driven amp over the edge.
Preamp Mode Want to go direct? Switch to Preamp mode, dial in the internal amp-style EQ, and run the Ragnarøk straight into a power amp, cab-sim, or audio interface. It’s a completely self-contained, valve-driven front end for your rig.
Sculpting your sound is intuitive thanks to Lichtlaerm’s proprietary "Cut" control. Rather than just rolling off some treble, the Cut knob allows you to dictate the character of the distortion, seamlessly transitioning between thick, low-end sludge and tight, percussive modern Metal tones.
