The Fuzzrocious Rat Tail is a distortion pedal from Fuzzrocious, the New Jersey pedal maker1.
Pedal of the Day's writeup called it "the most versatile RAT clone EVER for your Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz needs," placing it in the same territory as overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals1.
Controls
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| V | Volume |
| F | Tone filter |
| D | Distortion |
| 1 and 2 | Two red knobs, labeled 1 and 2 |
"Mine per say has a V (volume), F (tone filter), D (distortion), and two red knobs label 1 and 2."
The two numbered red knobs are the part that sets this version apart from a stock RAT layout, giving the player extra shaping beyond the usual volume, tone and distortion set. Because features vary by version, a used unit may not match the layout above1.
Where it sits in the Fuzzrocious range
The Rat Tail's bass-leaning RAT voicing points at the direction Fuzzrocious later took with the Cat Tail and its modded variants, and the maker has continued building gain pedals since, including the Cat King, the Lil Fella and the Typhon V21.
