Can A "Rat" Style Pedal Work For Me?? (Lichtlaerm Audio Ritual)

Thanks for checking out my review and demo of the Lichtlaerm Audio .Ritual. pedal! This distortion pedal is absolutely amazing! At the core it's based on the classic Proco Rat pedal but as always, Lichtlaerm Audio has souped this design up with many amazing features for extra tweakability! Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Cheers!

Love this pedal! What's your favorite Lichtlaerm Audio pedal or other Distortion pedal?

[@Turbo-D]

like i said in my previous comment i normally don`t like rats or fuzz but this brand is all about dark metal apparently and they have an interesting looking doom fuzz pedal, so a review (and a/b comparison with a regular fuzz pedal) is something i would be highly interested in! merci my friend🙏

[@joathescientist]

Interesting pedal ! And very tasty riffs John!

[@marks9197]

Wow. I'm impressed!

[@TheToneLounge]

This pedal sounds better then most Rat clones that I've tried. For some reason the Rat circuit always has this annoying high pitch frequency that I can never dial out. I tried some clones that had this issue as well. This pedal in your demo does not appear to have that issue. Very cool demo and extremely detailed. Cheers

My first pedal as a kid was a DOD Grunge, which was basically a RAT. Definitely got me hooked on filthy, high-gain sludge sounds, and I still like those kinds of sounds to this day, even if I now get those tones from overdriven tube amps instead of pedals. This brings back all the memories

[@NOEFFECTS27]

I use the ritual for a more stoner and doom sounds, even in parallel with an hm2 stile pedal. It sounds huge and destructable. Daniel did a great job getting that Amenra vibe into a pedal! One thing, altar is not the lichtlaerm boost pedal.. But rather a muff stile fuzz

My Friedman OD has a pot inside for gain… drilled a hole in the back plate.

Ha, genius :)

Instant M'tallica :D

[@markgalvezkorff9854]

Goeie poep dude!

[@Turbo-D]

the best rat pedals for me are the ones which sounds just like (regular) distortion pedals, same with fuzz, i don`t like these type of broken dirty distortion at all..the donner dark mouse is my favourite rat clone for just 30 bucks because its sounds like a...distortion pedal 😂...cheers & thanks

[@SonicDriveStudio]

This pedal has such a wide range of tones that you'll be able to get any tone you like out of it
