Ibanez Fat Cat Distortion FC10
More images:
The Ibanez Fat Cat Distortion FC10 uses a dual-stage clipping circuit to generate its distortion, with the first stage providing the primary gain and the second stage shaping the harmonic content. Its three-band EQ—Bass, Middle, and Treble—allows independent adjustment of low-end punch, midrange presence, and high-frequency bite, while the Distortion control sets the overall amount of gain and saturation. A Level knob adjusts the output volume to balance the effected signal against the dry bypassed sound. The pedal operates in mono, with a standard input and output jack, and is powered by a 9V battery or an optional DC adapter. Its compact, rugged enclosure is designed for pedalboard use, and the true bypass switching ensures the guitar signal remains uncolored when the effect is disengaged.

User Reviews of the Ibanez Fat Cat Distortion FC10

- excellent for sustained droning, a.k.a. fat and thick, it resembles the pro co rat distor pedal but with a littrle bit more versatile, more "ROCK" wich could be helpful for those shoegazin (do they satill exist) solos and the background wall of sound. recomendable for a starter if found cheap.. Overall... Nice pedal. Not too good for extreme things like de DOD GRUNGE. that's the best one.
- Good Points: When Ibanez saw the success of the Rat they didn't waste much time in cooking up, and marketing the "Fat Cat", FC-10 pedal. Without splitting hairs: Most guys would be hard pressed to find pedals built by two totally different companies, that sounded more alike. You can easily interchange them. The difference: the Fat Cat seems more focused, and slightly less harmonically active. It would probably sound a bit more musical when used for recording. The Rat is a little more distorted, and whistles like an industrial bird call, creating effortless effects in live performance.
- Bad Points: Not really bad points, but Not much of an extreme pedals. I like de Grunge DOD and I accept other suggestions!
- Price Paid: US$30.00
