Distortion

Mr Vermin

The Mr. Vermin by Chicago Stompworks is a handbuilt, boutique original RAT Distortion pedal clone, featuring the desirable version 2 with an LM308N chip, just like the original. The pedal delivers creamy, crunchy amp stack tone and is built on the original specs of its rodent ancestors. It comes with a clockwise filter control that cuts high frequencies as it is turned clockwise. The pedal is housed in a "1590b" enclosure size (4.37" X 2.37" X 1.07") to save space on your pedalboard. The circuit is accurate to the original, legendary "Rat V2" circuit, down to the reverse "hi-cut" tone pot. It is handbuilt with boutique quality throughout, true bypass wiring, best-in-class jacks, Alpha brand pots, and a 3pdt switch. The pedal operates with a standard, center negative "Boss style" 9v jack (or internal battery) and has a current draw of 2ma. The pedal covers almost every hard rock guitar tone needed. The pedal is available for pre-order and is priced at $59.99 with free USA shipping.
