Rat with 2 Op Amps and 6 Clipping Options
The Drunk Beaver Fat Bat is yet another of founder Vitalii Bobrov's takes on the , this time based on the Ibanez Fat Cat circuit, with additional Ibanez LA Metal and Pro Co Fat Rat voicings. There are 6 different clipping modes, 2 op-amp modes and a 3-way Fat switch.
Fat Bat Clipping Modes :
The Fat Bat has 6 clipping modes:
"LED" - Red LEDs as used in the Turbo Rat
"LA" - Op-amp clipping as used in the LA Metal...Very loud!
"Ge" - NOS Soviet D9 germanium diodes similar to You Dirty Rat
"FC" - 1N914 silicon diodes as used in the Fat Cat
"BAT" - BAT85 silicon diodes
"FR" - BS170 MOSFET and 1N914 silicon diodes similar to those used in the Pro Co Fat Rat
Fat Bat Op-Amp Modes :
The Fat Rat is loaded with NOS JRC5534 (FC / LA) and NOS CA741 (Bat) op-amps. You can switch between them to dial in the voicing you're after.
"FC/LA" - A NOS JRC5534 op-amp as used in the Fat Cat and LA Metal
"Bat" - A NOS CA741 (similar to the LM741 found in distortion pedals such as the MXR Distortion+) giving more low end
Fat Bat Controls :
As well as the Clipping and Op-amp modes mentioned above, the Fat Bat includes a 3-way Fat switch to toggle between Fat Cat ("FC"), LA Metal ("LA) and Fat Rat ("FR") bass response.
The Distortion, Tone and Volume controls work in the same way as a traditional Rat.
