Ratatak Kit - Distortion Guitar Pedal DIY Kit (Modern 1N34A Diodes)

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/1N34A 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 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! Controls: - Clip G/S switch - switches between germanium/1N34A and silicon diodes - Distortion - sets distortion amount - Filter - low pass filter that mutes the highs and turns a clean signal into fuzzy grit - Level - sets output volume - Shred - boosts high frequencies - Shred off/on switch - toggles the high frequency boost on and off Specifications: - Input jack switching - No instrument cable plugged in, no power used.
