I have this FATRAT for about 3-4 years now and the switch doesn't bypass anymore......
Anyways I called to see how much repair would be and they said no issue and just to send it in as long as I pay shipping...... pretty awesome and was ready to buy another one or pay shipping and may get another regardless but that's friggin awesome and I'm the original owner too so I don't feel bad for double dipping or having this be second hand or something.
Im on the website and I notice this...... Apparently it's coming out soon. Keep an eye out for them or any sightings...... it looks pretty cool and may get one given the new design and I like the approach. Dude over the phone said it's coming out within 3 to 4 months or sooner..... made in USA too ^_^
Haven't seen it anywhere but apparently it's available immediately
"The Sterling Vermin features the LM741 Op-Amp and a pair of selectable clipping diodes. Players can toggle between the traditional RAT silicon diode configuration for a punchy, mid-range bite, or the BAT41 option for a smoother, more balanced response. The result is a pedal that’s equally at home delivering snarling distortion or articulate, low-gain overdrive, with a wide, usable tonal range throughout the entire gain spectrum.
The pedal also features CTS pots and oversized knobs for even, responsive control that affords a satisfying smoothness to the rotation, with just the right amount of tension. Additionally, the polished stainless-steel enclosure with laser-annealed graphics showcases the merging of the pedal’s vintage flavor and striking design.
“From low-gain tones reminiscent of a Klon or Bluesbreaker, to high-gain settings that flirt with Big Muff territory — yet stay tight and controlled — the Sterling Vermin is a masterclass in dynamic distortion,” says Gates, an ACT Entertainment Sales Representative. “With premium components, deliberate design and a focus on feel, the Sterling Vermin is more than a pedal, it’s a new chapter for RAT.”
The RAT Sterling Vermin is available immediately and retails for $349 USD. For more information about this solution"
