The RattenKönig takes a classic circuit and opens up a range of tonal possibilities. With multiple clipping options, and expanded controls, this is built for those who want more than just the standard snarl.
At its heart, it still delivers that classic thick, harmonically rich distortion. But with switchable clipping modes, you can shape the character of your drive to suit any style:
- Silicon (S1 + S1) – Classic bite: tight, aggressive, and cutting.
- Germanium (S1 + GE) – Warmer, smoother, with natural compression.
- LED – Louder, more open, with a punchier feel.
- MOSFET + Germanium – Rich, amp-like response with extra harmonics.
-
No Clipping – Pure op-amp distortion, raw and unfiltered.
Four Knobs, Tonnes of Character:
VOL – Adjusts overall output.
FILTR – The signature tone-shaping tool, from dark to cutting.
DIST – Controls gain and saturation.
LUBE – Adds grit and alters response for finer control.
With its expanded feature set, The RattenKönig is a distortion lab in a box, whether you want vintage warmth, modern bite, or something uniquely your own. Long live The RattenKönig.
