Huge thank you to @simonhenneman from the mighty @diminishedmen who surprised me with this incredible pedal at the show in Seattle. According to Simon it’s based on a Rat but with some mods such as germanium diodes, a tone control that has been dilated way back, plus less gain with more lows, that basically turn it into an incredible over drive pedal when the gain is down. It’s something that has been missing from my board and gives the guitar a real nice @mick.turner style break up which is something I’ve been looking for for a while. Thanks so much Simon! BTW everyone needs to check out the Diminished Men if you haven’t already. Their set in Seattle was one of the best sets of music I’ve heard this year from anyone and while I’m at it, gotta mention that @legoldston ’s set was pure sound bliss too, somehow gnarly but ethereal at the same time. So lucky to have been able to play a show with both.
Yes! I put a 20k pot instead of 100k in the distortion on a Rat and it’s superb!

🙌 that's soo Bitchin'!! I'm always curious about different people's custom pedals! Some radical looking/sounding ones I've observed (haha!) lately are ones from Kid Congo Powers 🔋 Buzzo from Melvins fame and a cool YouTube gear ⚙ video from Gaz of Tropical fuckstorm!! I'm pretty fucking far from being any kind of music gearhead or guitar player haha!! but 🎮 when I do!?.. haha 😄 I remember being pretty fascinated by Death by Audio pedals in the early 10s!! but not very in tune!? With what they got going on these days..ya see what I did there 😏 I'm a Goddamn aging amateur indie rock comedian here!? Anywho..yep Yep!! That looks Rad 🔥
