GUPtech releases Pile O' RATs Douche Edition distortion pedal

August 21, 2022 · 1 sources

GUPtech announced the Douche Edition of its Pile O' RATs distortion pedal on August 21, 2022, according to the maker's product page1.

The Pile O' RATs is described by GUPtech as "the GUP Tech take on the classic Proco RAT Distortion pedal"1. This version adds three clipping modes selected by eight toggles: the center position is LED clipping, the right is the classic diodes, and the left is a dual diode stage that GUPtech describes as more clipping1. A sweep knob, which GUPtech calls a classic RAT mod, moves the mid peak; the maker says to leave it at 0 for the original RAT tone1.

"This version comes with 3 clipping modes (8 Toggles), center position is LEDs clipping, right is the classic Diodes, left is dual diodes stage (more clipping)."

The pedal runs on 9V DC center negative power and draws 1mA1. It is listed in pink and silver1. GUPtech states that all of its pedals are made by the company in Saguenay, Québec, Canada1.

The page marked the pedal as sold out at the time of the announcement1.
