$20 Mosky Black Rat

Mine just came in. Two words.......holy crap! This thing sounds amazing. Seriously, it stands up there with some of my better boutique rat clones, possibly even surpassing some of them. Turbo mode has lows for days, and the filter knob isn't as dark as advertised. Dollar for dollar this was easily the best pedal purchase in my musical life.
Footswitch not on the board, can't tell with the vintage/turbo switch but I didn't see any mounting holes on the board that would correspond to a switch.
They shall remain nameless due to TB member Cataract's penchant for calling out everything I write as negative. PM me if you want details. I will say the only one to beat it out was the Volt Thrower.

Nice that will work great for what I want to do.Oh geez, I have to open it up again? What do you want? Blood?
Not board mounted.

I think the required line is "Thank you Jimmy".
Thank you @JimmyM
Onboard distortion / fuzz, for a sort of DFA 1979 kind of vibe. I put a gain only Bazz Fuss I built in one of my basses as a novelty that I came to really like and now I'm wanting something a little more versatile for a new build.

Now THAT is dope! I would love to try some stuff like that one day.
For those that bought one, you can see the red LED diodes pumping if you look at the pedal from the right angle. Super cool to see them respond to your playing. Still absolutely loving this one. Will it be my main sound? Probably not. But it actually could be. I'm just too spoiled with my Dunwiches to consider it.
Finally got around to taking a few photos. I don't know what the ethics of pedal photos of clones are but if it violates a rule I'm sure you'll tell me.
First the Eno Myomorphia Distortion that I already had, but never opened up.
Has a LM308M
and the new Mosky Black Rat with its 308N
I don't know if there is a difference between these chips, or if the letters are just there to designate different sizes. But I hope this is valuable to you.

If the LM308 is so rare these days, what are these pedals doing with it?
The board on the black rat is smaller then I expected. Thank you for posting that, that is really helpful for me.
