Description
Get ready to unleash sonic mayhem with the Daredevil Chicago Rat, a unique fuzz effects pedal that combines the gritty essence of vintage fuzz with the raw power of classic distortion. This pedal is not just a tribute to its hometown's reputation but a collaborative masterpiece crafted with the creative genius of Rob Scallon. Designed for musicians who crave versatility, the Chicago Rat features a 2-stage op amp gain circuit that seamlessly transitions from high-gain distortion to a fuzz-laden frenzy.
Switch effortlessly between two distinct modes: the "Normal" setting offers a hot-rodded, crunchy gain with impressive output, perfect for rock and metal enthusiasts. Engage the "Rabid" mode to activate intense clipping and the innovative "Bleed" control, allowing you to sculpt your sound from smooth sustain to sputtering chaos. This starve control knob gives you the power to dial in exactly how filthy you want your riff to sound, adding a textural dimension to your music.
Hand-built in Chicago with meticulous attention to detail, the Chicago Rat features through-hole components, true bypass switching, and an external 9V DC jack for hassle-free power supply. Whether you're looking to replicate the iconic sounds of the past or forge new auditory paths, this pedal is your gateway to a world of sonic exploration.

"'WE NEED TO EXACERBATE THE RAT PROBLEM IN THIS AREA,' I love that. I can't wait to have this on my board." This pedal was designed in part by Scallon in collaboration with Daredevil's Johnny Wator, both of whom are based in Chicago. Infamous for its out of control rat population, Rob suggested the idea for the artwork to be based on the warning signs seen around the city. He demos the distortion/fuzz at 50:36 in the video.
