Rat Pi Deluxe

A fresh take on drives- mashing two beasts together for a cryptid of a drive.

The Deluxe version includes soft touch, no click bypass, premium components, a 3 way clipping for distortion, OD, and clean boost style modes, and a mode toggle that switches between stock, and doom modes. In doom mode theres an additional gain stage for further saturation. In this mode this pedal gets a far more muff like saturation, and becomes an instant doom machine that will turn any amp into a roaring beast.

Those simple two toggles create entirely new worlds of rat that the world has never seen before.

This pedal is what happens when you mash a rat distortion and clipping stage with a big muff tone and recovery stage. The rat in itself features only a low pass filter for a tone control, while the muff style tone control blends between a high pass or low pass filter.

It has the big muff frequency filter- with the clarity and more distortion like saturation of the rat. Much more refined, less muddy, and a bit more predictable. This pedal also shines with its low gain settings, unlike a normal muff, the lower gain ranges of this pedal clean up really nice with minimal fuzziness. With the gain turned low, you can get some clean boost or light overdrive sounds out of it.

Typically in a muff, even with the sustained turned all the way down, your tone still is crunchy and fizzy.

This is one of those circuits that does the "everything from clean boost to fuzz" thing really well.

This pedal can run at 18v if you want a higher headroom drive for that 3D, higher amplitude, louder style sound.
