pedal details

Born from the curious chaos of Mr. Tonecat — now fed, flexed, and far less polite.

Rat Trap V2 is a refined but rowdier evolution of our original distortion beast. The enclosure got chunkier, the tone gained serious weight, and the circuit now features expanded clipping for smoother transitions between overdrive, distortion, and fuzz.

Still grounded in the legendary RAT DNA, V2 adds more body, more saturation options, and a three-voice personality that adapts to your playing style—or your mood.

Three-Way Voice Toggle

  • Soft - Rounded highs and smoother clipping for touch-sensitive overdrive and restrained distortion.

  • Classic RAT - The familiar mid-forward bite and grainy grind that made the RAT legendary.

  • Feral - Extra bite, aggression, and edge—raw, unruly, and ready to misbehave.

Key Features

  • RAT-Inspired Distortion Circuit - Classic character with enhanced low-mid heft and modern flexibility.

  • Expanded Clipping Range - Smoothly travels from gentle, amp-like overdrive to thick, compressed fuzz saturation without losing definition.

  • Wide Gain Spectrum

    • Low Gain (~20%): Warm breakup and subtle grit—ideal for tone thickening

    • Mid Gain (~50%): Iconic RAT crunch with rich harmonics

    • High Gain (75%+): Saturated, fuzzy chaos—dense, snarling, and unapologetic

  • True Bypass - Preserves your clean tone when disengaged.

Perfect for rock, punk, doom, stoner, indie, noise, and players who want one distortion that can whisper, growl, or completely lose control.
