That's correct. The pitch is controlled by,

A) Your guitars controls including pickup selection.

B) the blend pot on the pedal. (feedback intensity) The resistance of this pot has bearing on pitch as well.

C) the amount of gain being fed. The more gain, the lower the pitch.

The Ruitz is to the right. Just a simple snip one side on a spdt toggle.

The clipping switch goes between stock sym 4148 / drop clippers/ asymm 4148-1n4004. LED's are great in a feedback RAT too. (Turbo)

great mod! The feed mod is amazing!! What are the metod for install this mod?? What are need for??

[paultrombetta]

The feedback is attained taking the output and feeding it back to the send on your switch. 100k blend pot in the path.

RAWK on!

Thanks David, Yea, there is lots of SD-1 mods

on the net. You should find plenty in a search. Cheers -pt

That is a feedback loop built within the Rat.

the knob is the feedback blend and pitch control.

[paultrombetta]

My bad!

[1Doz]

Wow, that feedback trick is cool. How are you controlling the pitch...with the volume pot on the guitar?

Is the Ruetz mod activated when the switch is to the left or the right?  Is that the one where you just snip the 470 ohm resistor?

Hey. I did the ruetz mod to my rat. Im trying to get rid of the added lows when the mod is engaged. I dont know if I can put a small cap in line before the switch. Do you have any ideas?
