This pedal began as a collaboration between Nick from Dunwich Amps and me, with the goal of creating a Rat-inspired pedal that delivers massive tone, incredible volume, and a full range of lows and highs. Over time, I redesigned the circuit to include a secondary foot-switch for an extra volume boost—perfect for big riffs or solos. Additional refinements have enhanced the overall sound quality, making it the ideal choice for achieving tones reminiscent of early Conan or Melvins, or an even chunkier version of Blur's Song 2.
Current users include Daniel (Gilla Band), Paul (Primordial), Matt (Malthusian), Matt (Hands Up Who Wants to Die/Shifting/No Spill Blood), Mike (Bong/11 Paranoias/Melting Hand), Niallo (Wild Rocket), Shiran (Monarch!/Year of No Light/Gasmask Terror), Shaun (Unyielding Love), and Steve (Destriers).
The pedal's graphics feature hand-pulled screen prints on powder-coated or hand-sprayed enclosures, with colors varying between production runs. Feel free to reach out for details about custom options.
