So I finally finished this thing. As everyone on here probably knows I was having some issues with this thing come to find out I was missing a cap in one spot but all is well with this rat! She works as expected just need to fine tune it with the 1k trimmer but other than that she sounds like a rat! The different clipping options are a joy as you’d expect it’s louder and a bit “crunchy” in the led mode the silicon diodes are a bit warmer in my opinion. The eq section is fun the bass and mids could use a little more range but other than that the eq section helps you fine tune the sound of your distortion. Pretty cool pedal I have to say.




The gut shots are in he other thread I figured you guys had enough of this rats guts

Awesome! Love hearing demo's anytime dude! It's not about the playing, it's hearing how your creation sounds.

I think like Clip #1 the best. Low gain-ish, great sound.

None of them sound particularly "Rat-like" to me (which is not a bad thing).
It sounds more "open" than a typical Rat.

Great job!!!

I have to agree when demoing this thing i was like wait a minute this sounds a little more "modern" than your average rat!
