🐾 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.

Bespoke artwork wraps around all sides of the enclosure, making Rat Trap V2 as bold visually as it is sonically.
