Handmade in beautiful Akron, OH!

There's few things we can all agree on, but I think these things are universal:

  • RATs freaking rock
  • BIG capacitors have more tone
  • Can ICs look baller and sound awesome
  • Cloth wire is dope

So, with that in mind, we've gone and made a crowd pleaser - our Nicodemus Distortion.

Just like the mystical leader of the rats of NIMH, our circuit is what would happen if an old school RAT got captured by scientists and subjected to experiments give it supernatural powers.

We've really hit all the checkboxes on this one:

  • Genuine NOS National Semi LM308AH
  • Genuine NOS Motorola 2N5458
  • Sprague Atom electrolytics
  • WIMA film caps
  • TDK C0G ceramics
  • Vishay 2W PR02 resistors
  • Lumberg power & audio jacks (std 9v supply)

We've also tricked out the circuit to get all three classic RAT flavors:

  • Slightly asymmetrical LEDs (red/yellow) "turbo"
  • Rohm 1SS133Ts "classic"
  • NOS Russian germanium D9B "dirty"

I love this pedal and know you will too.
