Katzenkönig
By Catalinbread
Combines a Tone Bender MKII-style fuzz front end with a Rat-style distortion back end.
About this pedal
Katzenkoenig pairs the germanium-transistor cascade of a classic Tone Bender MKII with a Rat-inspired distortion stage, aiming for a circuit that sings like a fuzz but stays tight like a distortion pedal across humbuckers and single coils.
