Title: The Flying Rat
Post by: televisiondown on November 13, 2012, 01:16:11 AM
Madbean's description of the Slow Loris says this pedal is a RAT with a steroid injection...so I called mine The Flying Rat! And, it's pretty accurate ;D It's super quiet when the effect is engaged, until you start playing. It's got a great amount of volume to it. For the clipping diodes I used the standard diffused red LEDs and, to stay with my theme, BAT41s...so it really is a Flying Rat ::) I haven't played a DS-1 in a while, but the BAT41s remind me of the sound of one. Nice sustain, too.

And, it's not quite done. I still have to add the LED indicators. The plan is to drill out the eyes of the bat and drop in some 3mm red LEDs. But for no, it's pretty obvious when it's on!

I've always wanted a RAT pedal, and now I have a great one. Love this pedal. Thanks, Bean!

Stamps and paint, that's simple. Cool.

I think I looks real nice and fit well the character of the rat pedal. Good job.
