pedal details

🐾 Born from the curious chaos of Mr. Tonecat — part mischief, part madness, all tone.

🖌️ What makes this one truly one-of-a-kind?

It’s featuring bespoke artwork that wraps around all sides of the enclosure.

The Rat Trap is a versatile distortion beast built for players who crave everything from subtle tone-thickening to full-blown fuzzed-out chaos. Inspired by the legendary RAT circuit, this pedal delivers vintage character with modern flexibility.

🔥 Key Features:

  • Classic Distortion Circuitry – Inspired by the cult-favorite RAT, with our own refined voicing.

  • Dynamic Gain Range - Low Gain (20%): Adds body and grit — perfect as a tone thickener or boost. Mid Gain (50%): Rich, classic distortion that cuts through the mix. High Gain (75%+): Borderline fuzz territory — thick, snarling, and saturated

Two Voicing Modes:

  • Feral: Enhanced treble and bite for aggressive leads.

  • Purr: Fat, warm, and smooth for rhythm work and heavy riffs.

True Bypass – Keeps your tone intact when the pedal is off.

⚙️ Perfect For: Rock, punk, doom, indie, noise, or anyone chasing that unmistakable gritty edge with flexible tone shaping.
