Vintage Rat Pedal

The Vintage Rat's full control is provided by distortion amount, filter, and volume controls. Tune in just the right amount of overdrive, get the presence you need without tinny treble, and balance the volume for the perfect extra kick for lead breaks. Distortion, sustain, fuzz, or overdrive: the sound remains unmistakably yours, not fake or gimmicky. Also, the Rat won't change the tone or power of your guitar when it's turned off; the true bypass switch disconnects it completely from the instrument when not in use, eliminating the loading effects common among other devices.

The rugged steel chassis houses a mil-spec epoxy-glass PC board for extreme shock resistance, vital in a foot-operated unit. The heavy-duty industrial-grade footswitch was chosen for its reliable positive action and long, dependable life.

The controls use the latest innovation of potentiometers--resistive elements of conductive plastic--ensuring a linearity and feel far superior to ordinary carbon elements. Special "micropower" circuit design and IC selection results in greatly extended battery life.
