This started out as a request for a Rat with more gain and less midrange.
I stuck a booster-limiter in front of the Rat, with a BASS cut at the input to the booster and and a MID cut at the output of the booster. The booster provides up to 40dB gain. D1 & D2 keep U1B from saturating at high GAIN settings. With MID & BASS dimed, the freq response is flat from 110Hz to 5.2KHz. The MID cut is centered at 800Hz, near the Rat's mid peak when DISTORTION is dimed. The BASS cut varies from 110Hz to 670Hz.
I tweaked the Rat circuit slightly to accommodate an A250K DISTORTION pot. The gain range and freq response are about the same as the original Rat. The FILTER circuit was modded so that the volume doesn't change when FILTER is rotated. I also tuned the FILTER range slightly darker. Like the Rat, the FILTER knob is like a reverse TREBLE knob.
It's sounding pretty good, so I'm committing it to Vero.
The Rat is on the left, booster is on the upper right.
