Rat |

I sold my original Rat long ago and had to make another. tonepad.com has great layouts and I have learned from them. I always lay the circuit out from scratch and see how different mine turns out to be. Thanks to Henrik Jakobsen for correcting an error in a previous version. The schematic source is tonepad.com.

I just doit and I changed the IC by a LM741. Only I had to do a little change to use it with this IC. Great sound.

Hello gaussmarkov / Paul, I have a question, I hope not to disturb.
I want to remove the control “filter” the RAT and replace it with a tone control tri-band (bass-mid-trebble).
my question is, what components should I remove? (100k potentiometer obviously = P)
R7 (1.5k)
c8 (0.0033uf)
c9 (0.022uf)
and r8 (1M)
Or am I wrong?
Thanks so much.
Facundo from Argentina:)
