Who Made That Rat Distortion Pedal?

Delighted to see this in yesterday's New York Times:

Y'know, I'm sincerely thrilled that article made it into the New York Times...but I'm still not sure I understand what the whole point of that article appearing in the New York Times is!

Every Sunday, the Times runs a one page 'Who invented that' in the Sunday Magazine section of the paper. They choose 'inventions' across a wide spectrum, from classic cocktails to the slinky to, well, the Rat distortion pedal.

Kind of a fun piece that I read every Sunday. It was kind of fun to see a piece of music gear in there.
