We combined the best elements of a Tone Bender MkII fuzz with a Rat distortion to create something that sings like a fuzz but is tight like a distortion It loves humbuckers and single coils It loves your cranked amp and your super-clean amp Katzenk����nig was tuned to offer a huge range of response – from a really beautiful singing tone, to tight, harmonically-rich crunch, all the way to fuzz mayhem
A simple, four-knob control scheme allows you to dial in your sound quickly and without much fuss:INPUT – Controls the input sensitivity Turn it down when using higher output pickups and humbuckers or to dial in your wah sound (more on that later) Turn it up for lower output pickups or for when you want to go over-the-top!GAIN – Controls the gain of the second gain stage It is not a conventional gain control, rather, it controls the amount of negative feedback in that stage What does that mean for you- It means you get a wide ranging gain control that sounds great throughout it’s entire rotation!FILTER – Allows you to dial in your final tone from smooth and creamy all the way to bright and cutting You can quickly find the sweet spot for your rig with this control If you are familiar with the Filter control on a Rat then what you’ll find is that this is an even better version of that idea!VOLUME – Standard volume control You’ll find that Katzenk����nig sounds great turned down quiet or cranked up and loud!

To get familiar with your new Katzenk����nig, let’s begin by plugging it straight into your amp set to a clean sound with no other pedals in the chain
Set the controls as follows: Volume – noon, Filter – noon, Gain – minimum, Input – minimum
Now play a bit to get a feel for how it responds Go ahead and mess with the Filter knob to see how it works You’ll notice that unlike most fuzz and distortion pedals, Katzenk����nig sounds great at minimum gain settings
Now go ahead and start experimenting with the Gain and Input controls You’ll notice that they both increase gain but in different ways Leave one at minimum and start turning the other up Then leave the other at minimum and turn the other one up And yes, cranking them both up leads to extreme fuzz, sustain, and saturation!
At lower Gain and Input settings, Katzenk����nig’s response is tight, like a great distortion pedal You can play chugging, palm-muted riffs that you wouldn’t be able to get away with on a standard fuzz pedal But turn up the Gain and Input, and you can get those epic harmonic blooms that you normally associate with a great fuzz pedal! .

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Bender — Like an old-school chilli recipe passed down through generations — raw, fiery, and full of character. Inspired by the legendary Tone Bender circuits of the late ’60s, it dishes out thick, sustaining fuzz with a spicy edge that cuts right through the mix. Plug one in and you’ll taste that unmistakable vintage heat — the grit of classic rock, the bite of early punk, the warmth that lingers like slow-cooked tone. Every clone and reissue adds its own twist to the sauce, but the recipe stays the same: bold, rich, and addictive. Once you’ve had a taste, nothing else quite satisfies.. Catalinbread. Pedal — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food — once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. RAT.
