Holy COW! That's definitely the most rugged "1st build" I have ever seen. It isn't bullet proof, its nuclear holocaust proof! Nice job!

are those germanium diodes i see in that rat?

Yeah. You can toggle between two sets of socketed diodes. I've got germanium and standard at the mo. Not sure I can tell much difference except for volume levels. It's a work in progress and I'm looking forward to trying leds, mosfets and no diodes at all.

Gave it a proper test in band practice today. Yes indeedy that rips out some serious meat. Big grin on.

To tell you the truth, usually in distortion pedals like the rat i like good old fashioned silicon diodes.

No diodes for pure op-amp clipping for some filthy mess is always nice...

No kidding.  It looks like you could run over that with a tank.

Tank proof! Chortle.
Agreed about the silicon diodes. Wasn't so keen on the diode free sound. I'm working on an OCD next so maybe save the mosfet goodness for that.
Yeah Devon UK. Buckfastliegh. Hi.
