Rat Fink - Distortion
Unleash the raw, unapologetic tone of the Cathouse Pedals Rat Fink - Distortion. This pedal is a sonic beast, channeling the spirit of the legendary early-80s Rat v2 while adding a touch of modern refinement. The secret lies in the carefully selected op-amp, a rare component from three decades ago that imparts a rich, harmonically-complex distortion. When engaged, the Rat Fink delivers a growling, biting tone that cuts through the mix with authority. The lopsided frequency response emphasizes the mid and low-end frequencies, creating a thunderous, rhythmic character that's perfect for heavy riffs and chugging rhythm parts. But don't worry, the pedal's solid tone control allows you to tame the high-end, ensuring your tone remains musical and refined. The Rat Fink's singing sustain and dynamic response make it a versatile tool for any guitarist. From searing lead lines to thick, palm-muted chords, this pedal has the flexibility to adapt to your playing style. Rumor has it that the Rat Fink was a secret weapon for grunge icons of the 90s, adding that raw, gritty edge to their signature sounds. Cathouse Pedals' commitment to animal rescue adds an extra layer of meaning to the Rat Fink. With a portion of each sale going to trusted animal charities, you can feel good about investing in a pedal that not only sounds incredible but also gives back to the community.
