Another Rat, because that's all I know how to do. Built on a pair of DirtMonger MultiRat boards, and housed in. Deucetone-style enclosure. Brutalist knobs, cuz duh. Soft touch mini DPDT footswitches
The right-hand side features a Soviet UD1408A, which is a slightly darker, less gainy take on the LM308.
Both sides include my typical tweaks to slightly tighten and fatten up the traditional Rat -
It's a Rat. It's two Rats. It's rad. The DirtMonger boards are awesome

- Soft clipping - LED (Soviet metal n glass)/ None / Symmetrical Silicon (KD522B)
- Hard clipping - Germanium (unmarked) / LED / Silicon
- Shift - 47uf / 2.7uf / 6.8uf. the toggle throws the bigger caps in Parallel with the 2.7u to approximate the Juggernaut and FatRat cutoff frequencies, respectively
- Soft clipping - LED (square reds) / None / asymmetrical silicon (1N914)
- Hard clipping- LED / None (Clean Rat) / Silicon
- Shift is the same as above
Both sides include my typical tweaks to slightly tighten and fatten up the traditional Rat -
- R9 increased to 2.2k, C11 increased to 4.7n, and Filter reduced to 50kA to limit the range to what I consider it's most usable limits
- R7 decreased to 470R to slightly increase the gain and raise the cutoff of the lower pole
- C5 increased to 2.7u to slightly lower the cutoff of the higher pole
- C3 & 12 increased to 27n because I have a glut of them
- C8 decreased to 27p to let a lil more high end hash through and allow a bit more room before the chip starts collapsing with higher Distortion settings
- Distortion is 100kD for a more gradual increase than a typical Audio taper. I've also added a 1k between lug 1 and the board, so it never bottoms out into a buffer
