A Rat variant with some added features; a Fat control and a variable diode control called Comp.

    Hey Fuzzhead, any schematic available on this?(whether at FSB or elsewhere)

    Really interesting circuit nonetheless, definitely appears to be a rat with a little more kick; looking at what they did to the cap and resistor values.

      Hey, man.
      You can download all the schematics and PCB files at VFEs website. This one is a variation of their Alpha Dog but it has enough differencies to warrant an own layout....and it was a request:-)

      Yeah, it looks interesting for sure...very peculiar volume control I must say...

    Hey, you can tag this one, built it with J201 and OPO7 - layout is spot on! Never played or seen an original, but some pictures in the internet use the comp knob as trimmer and I can understand why - I am going to fix a 1k resistor there.
    Volume control definitely feels different, and I have some some crackle (I can't tell if it is related to it being connected to FET bias or if this cheap pot as been recycled too many times), but I can live with it. Sounds nice!

      Thank you Pedro!
      I'll tag it soonish.
      Yeah, that volume control is really odd (why use a bias control for volume?) but the important thing is that it works and it sounds good.:-)
