Nothing just a money grab.

Sometimes the loudest rats are those that make no sound at all. RIP Rat Hole.I live in Chicago. Wanna talk rat noise? Pull up a chair, friend.

I picked one up too. It's not a Rat clone, but it has a similar sound. It uses 2x 4558s, I'm assuming 1 for buffers and 1 for gain stages, but I haven't tried to sort it out yet (smd pcb). I'm sure Robert will fill us in soon enough.

My guess is that it's going to be closely related to this one:

Makes sense. Sounds great.
I cant find any video of this one. That is supposed to sound like a higher gain bluesbreaker, and even more gain would make it the Cat?

I just breadboarded that and holy guacamole does it sound good.

Modify the tone control and change the clipping range a bit and it would be mighty close.

Waaaaay more fun than ringmod...
Also, processing and monitoring a live signal (coming from an external signal generator)
... I suppose I should start a new thread just for this project, it's gotten a bit out of hand ...

So this is the board to get if you want to mess around with this?
Curious if I could build a Frequency Modulation (aka Vibrato with an audio-rate modulation oscillator) effect with this…

Pitch vibrato with an LFO that can go into the audio frequency range (an HFO? just O? 
), so you start getting side-bands. It’s pretty common in the synthesizer world but hard to find in pedal land.
It sounds somewhat similar to ring mod, but a bit less aggressively dissonant maybe.
The old Alesis Bitrman does it, and there’s one mode on the EHX Ring Thing that does too.
