Details

For sale: Fuzzrocious Cat Tail Distortion and SolidGoldFX Beta Germanium MKII Bass Overdrive/Preamp. Both are in perfect "like new" condition.

The Cat Tail is a low to high gain distortion with overdrive capabilities (some even say at high gain settings, it sounds like a fuzz). This circuit is based on a well-loved, classic distortion that make a clean amp dirty and a dirty amp disgusting. We have tweaked the original circuit to better meet the needs of guitarists and bassists alike. With the addition of a diode toggle for extra tweakability for clipping options, we have added to the modifications the Beavis double resistor mod (Clipping 1 and 2 pots) to allow the user to subtly fine tune how the signal clips on the highs and lows. PLEASE NOTE: This is in fact the pedal known formerly known as “Rat Tail.” We changed the name in July 2015 to avoid product confusion. The circuit remains the same.
$140 shipped

The Beta MKII Germanium is a specially tuned version of our original Beta circuit that features a quartet of NOS Soviet germanium devices giving you plenty of tube-like gain with a smoother, more saturated drive characteristic and just the right hint of fuzziness.
$110 shipped

Prices are firm unless you buy the two together, then I could do $240 shipped. Thanks!

Thanks - I have spent chunks out of the last several days trying to find a youtube demo of this that I liked; unfortunately everyone wants to demo it with high gain. I really liked some Beta DLX demos I saw, which is why I hit you up, but this sounds like it is something else altogether. What's your opinion?

I really like the Beta and in addition to the high gain, it can also do a fairly mild growl to warm up those fat bass lines :) I am just a Darkglass guy thru and thru and will stick with that tone on my board. Cheers!
