Cat Tail

The Cat Tail by Fuzzrocious is a low to high gain distortion pedal with overdrive capabilities, often likened to a fuzz at high gain settings. The circuit is based on a classic distortion, modified to better meet the needs of guitarists and bassists. The pedal features a diode toggle for extra tweakability for clipping options and the Beavis double resistor mod for fine- tuning signal clipping on the highs and lows.

Key Features:
- Volume control for adjusting the output of the circuit
- Tone filter for transitioning from treble to bass
- Distortion knob for adjusting the level of drive/distortion
- Clipping 1 and 2 pots for fine-tuning signal clipping
- Diode toggle for changing the clipping diodes from 1n914 silicon to no diodes to LEDs

Modifications:
- Feedback mod for oscillation/feedback/noise via a momentary or latching footswitch
- Killswitch mod for muting the sound passing through the pedal via a momentary footswitch
- 2nd distortion mod for switching between two distortion presets using a latching footswitch

Power:
The pedal requires a 9V DC 2.1mm center negative tip adaptor, as it does not support batteries due to the risk of damage to the unit and ecological concerns related to battery use and disposal.
