The Ratatak gets you that classic gritty RAT tone with some upgrades! It's much like the raved-about original, but with the most popular boutique pedal mods on-board.
Drastically alter your sound with the CLIP switch. This switch changes the type of clipping diodes, selecting either germanium or silicon diodes. Germanium/1N34A diodes have a smooth, warm, vintage sound. Silicon/1N4148 diodes are cleaner and brighter for a more aggressive edge.
Modern 1N34A diodes don't contain germanium, so we offer an option to choose new NOS germanium or modern 1N34A diodes in your pedal. If you are building a kit, you can use any diodes you like, even LEDs!
The Ratatak is super easy to DIY! Our step-by-step instructions are made with beginners in mind. With a painted and pre-drilled case, it's a great beginner-to-intermediate soldering project!
