DAD SHOE GAZERS

Small Rodent

A small company in Alaska. I guess in Alaska being locked in from time to time certainly encourages a second job, 😇

The layout is the basic Volume, Tone and Gain. The secret sauce for this variation is the Reitz control that controls what frequencies get looped in the feedback part of circuit. It is all tech speak for what pictorially is like deciding to choose just a single slider on a graphic EQ and boost it. Moving the knob up simply swaps up to the next slider and turns off the one behind it.

A good idea but it may have very limited or nearly no use. 

 

CONCLUSION  The graphics are unpretentious and effective. It sells for the going rate for handmade effects. 

However it is for the most part just another fish in a sea of equal 

but healthy fish. The mod seems to primarily add excessive muddy 

dirt ???  It takes the magic of the Rat being a tight very 

high gain OD & turns it into a very mediocre Fuzz ??? Nothing 

beats the current unchanged in decades ProCo Ratt II for 

nailing the thing it does dead perfect.  If you want a real, 

killer high gain OD or high gain Fuzz buy one but not a 

Rat-wanna-be. This pedal is like a cheap car with a steel 

box welded into the trunk and sold as a pickup truck, WTF!!!
