About this listing
This is a very nice and rare Ibanez FC10 Fat Cat Distortion Pedal made in the late 1980's.The pedal is used and shows many scratches and wear but is fully functional and in very good overall condition for its age. Sounds great!The Ibanez FC10 Fat Cat Distortion is a late 1980s analog pedal from the Ibanez Power Series, known for a versatile, thick distortion often compared to a Pro Co Rat. It offers a wide gain range from bluesy grit to saturated, fuzz-like roar, featuring simple Level, Tone, and Distortion controls. It is well-regarded for maintaining low-end punch, making it effective for both guitar and bass.Circuitry: The pedal features an all-analog, buffered design based on the ProCo Rat distortion circuit, but with a different op-amp (JRC5534) and a more conventional tone control.Versatile Sound: It offers a broad spectrum of distortion, capable of everything from a subtle overdrive to high-gain distortion and even raging fuzz when settings are cranked.Tone Control: Unlike the Rat's "Filter" knob, the Fat Cat's "Tone" control gets brighter as you turn it up, making it easier to dial in the desired high-end brightness and articulation.Clarity and Punch: A notable characteristic praised by users is its ability to maintain clarity and punch, even with high gain settings, and it does not have the "mid hump" associated with Tube Screamer pedals. It works well for both guitar and bass.Responsiveness: The pedal is highly responsive to the guitar's volume and tone knob adjustments, allowing players to clean up the sound for an overdrive effect without needing to switch pedals.
