Black Mass FX 1312 Distortion Rat Clone - SOLD PPG delivered.
This is the V2 model, which can take 9-18v power and is switchable between 8 different Rat models, including standard, turbo etc. In excellent condition, boxed, sounds great but not required. Velcro on the bottom and top jacks too which is a bonus.
Manual has this to say:
The 1312 Distortion is based on everyones favorite rodent-themed distortion pedal. The real star of this pedal is the Clip control. With the eight-way rotary diode clipping switch, it’s like having eight different distortion pedals at the turn of a knob. This pedal features true bypass switching and is happy anywhere in your pedal chain. All Black Mass pedals
are built in Salem, Massachusetts with a little bit of magic and a whole lot of love.
CONTROLS:
Level: Controls overall output level
Filter: Turn clockwise for more treble
Gain: Controls the amount of drive/distortion
Clip: 8 Way rotary switch for selecting clipping
diodes. Rotating clockwise, starting at “noon,”
clipping options include:
•SILICON - Familiar, compressed clipping
•RED LEDS - Louder, more aggressive sounding
•VINTAGE GERMANIUM - Thick, amp-like
•QUAD SILICON - Loudest, most transparent
•ASYMMETRICAL SILICON - Less fizzy than
silicon, more organic
•MOSFET - Saturated and modern sounding
•GERMANIUM/SILICON - Unique, looser sounding
•ASYMMETRICAL MOSFET* - Modern sounding, lower gain (*you may need to turn counter clockwise from 12 o’clock to 11
o’clock to access depending on your version)
POWER:
•Standard 2.1mm center negative power only.
•9-18v DC only.
•Do not run at higher voltages.
•Current Draw: <100mA.
•Use an isolated power supply. Daisy chains will often work fine but can introduce unwanted noise.
NOTES:
•Try running at 18V for increased clarity, definition, and grind. Trust me, it’s worth it.
•The Op-Amp is socketed on the circuit board. The 1312 comes with an OP07 chip preinstalled but a number of single op-amp chips will work such as TL071, LM308, LM741 etc. Feel free to experiment, always check the datasheet of your opamp.
