Shnobel Tone Ratatouille Distortion

Roman Belonozhko over at Shnobel Tone has been making great demos for a long time now, and in the past couple of years, has also taken the plunge into the world of effects pedal building. His first pedal, the Daily Driver, was an original and unique drive circuit that gives you a rich sound full of harmonics and an amp-like response. Today, we’re gonna take a look at the Ratatouille Distortion, a rodent-inspired black box with a wide range of dirty, amp-pushing sounds trapped inside…

The Ratatouille Distortion was inspired by the 80’s Pro Co RAT Distortion Pedal. It features an original circuit that has an amp-like distortion with lots of harmonics and touch sensitivity. The Filter knob works just like the old RAT pedal as you turn up the filter you get a darker sound. The Ratatouille is a versatile distortion pedal that gives you a great crunch sound on lower distortion settings, and at maximum gain it has the sound of a tube amp pushed to its absolute limits.

This is truly a plug-and-play type of pedal, where you know you’ve got something special after hitting that first chord. Founded in 2015, Shnobel Tone is passionate about creating creative tools for guitar players that demand the absolute best.
