What is the CAT TAIL?

The Cat Tail is a low to high gain distortion with overdrive capabilities (some even say at high gain settings, it sounds like a fuzz). This circuit is based on a well-loved, classic distortion that make a clean amp dirty and a dirty amp disgusting. We have tweaked the original circuit to better meet the needs of guitarists and bassists alike. With the addition of a diode toggle for extra tweakability for clipping options, we have added to the modifications the Beavis double resistor mod (Clipping 1 and 2 pots) to allow the user to subtly fine tune how the signal clips on the highs and lows.

Please view the INSTRUCTION MANUAL for more information about this pedal.

PLEASE NOTE: This is in fact the pedal known formerly known as “Rat Tail.” We changed the name in July 2015 to avoid product confusion. The circuit remains the same.
