The Fuzzrocious Cat Tail is a versatile distortion pedal with overdrive and fuzz-like characteristics at higher gain settings. Based on a classic distortion circuit, it's been modified for guitar and bass use. Features include a diode toggle for clipping options and the Beavis double resistor mod for fine-tuning your sound.
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 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.
