    Looks great! I like the new rodent graphic very much! It allows the imagination to fill in the details. Could be Bugs Bunny playing, could be Mighty Mouse, could be Itchy! :

    Just to be accurate, rabbits are not rodents, they're part of another mammalian order called lagomorphs. See how educational this place is!?!

    Could be Mighty Mouse (which is the original BYOC name for the kit, BTW!), or Itchy, or maybe even The Brain! Perhaps it will take over the pedal world! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!!!

    Pedal clearcoated and reassembled. Hope to record a demo clip tonight to show off some of the various distortion/OD settings. In the meantime, here are a couple more photos:

    OK, here are links to a couple of quickly recorded clips. Both are recorded using my LP Std. on the bridge pickup into the Tweed 4x10 model of my Vox AD30VT. Only effect besides the Rabid Rodent is a bit of reverb.

    The first clip starts out clean and then cycles through all six clipping settings of the Rodent. To reiterate what those are:

    1. Symmetric silicon diode distortion
    2. Symmetric red LED distortion
    3. Symmetric JFET (J201 transistor) distortion
    4. Asymmetric silicon diode overdrive (1x3 1N914 diode array)
    5. Symmetric red LED overdrive
    6. Symmetric MOSFET (BS170 transistor) overdrive

    The recorded sequence that is repeated all 7 times starts with a Joe Bonamassa riff I've been learning, followed by some single note noodling. The pedal settings in "o'clock" knob positions are: distortion = 1, filter = 3, and volume adjusted to keep the recorded volume fairly constant. (Note: The two LED settings are very noticeably louder than the other four, and were turned down to keep the volume comparable to the others.)

    The second clip is recorded with the same setup, but the distortion turned down a bit to 12 noon. This one demonstrates the impact of the Ruetz modification. A familiar Neil Young riff is played first with the toggle in the Normal position and then repeated in the Ruetz mode. This pairing is repeated two times--first on position 1 (stock Rat distortion mode) and then on position 5 (red LED overdrive). You can hear how the mid-range is flattened out, making the bottom end more prominent and giving very noticeably less gain/sustain and a smoother, warmer tone.

    Here are the links:

    Thumbs up

    Way cool DVM! I am blown away and am listening as I type to get a feel for it. I heard a LOT of good sounds I really liked. I will take some time to decide on my favorites. Off the top, positions 1 and 2 grabbed me (2 is really grabbing me at the moment as I type), in normal position.

    The overdrive positions are tremendously different sounding than the Bad Monkey, and I am sure will find a place in the tone quiver. The Ruetz mod sounds like a lot of fun to play around with as well, and will be really useful I think when the mix requires more bottom end and warmth. I am stoked to try it with my own gear and experiment. Thanks so much!:

    P.S. I have been listening some more and can't wait to get it. These are the distortion sounds I wanted to add to my chain. It might end up being named "Itchy".


    (I think I can give my pedal a nickname without getting anyone sued).

    Quite a bit of flexibility in that pedal. Good choice for a Bonamassa riff too

    I am sitting here listening again, and just licking my chops. I definitely am drawn to positions 1 (stock rat mode) and 2 (LED Distortion). Of the overdrive settings I am drawn first to the LED overdrive.

    In the Ruetz mod, I like both Ruetz settings, and am struck by the organic, garage sound of the LED Overdrive with the Ruetz mode on. It sounds raw and fun. Can't wait!

    Boy, you have more will power than I do. On New Pedal Day ( or new guitar, amph, whatever guitar related day ), everything is secondary with the exception of immediate family needs.

    EDIT: Thanks Kat for the congrats. I am very happy with the new pedal. Well, my poor wife has tweaked her lower back/leg and is in the middle of a way overdue yard project that she now cannot do, so it is just about an immediate family need. But I did have some time to do some initial playing around, and will post a clip after getting a bit comfortable with the various settings. So far I am in absolute love with the red LED Distortion setting, with the stock Rat mode not far behind. That is as far as I have gotten into it so far. My DS-1 may still have a place for a different sound, but this is so much more full sounding. Don't worry, clips will come.

    I heard a bit of this pedal over the phone and I was very impressed. Great job Voodoo.
