Here they are, the new reedition of the Death By Unicorn. If you're a GUP Tech fan, you probably saw our DBU already. This, is what we call our 2022 reedition A(((Ole))) pedal. It's based on an early GUP Tech (2019) design.
Built in an oversize box, this is a Hot Rodded RAT Fuzz-Octa-Boost with 3 clipping modes. It's like having a RAT, a Green Ringer, and a boost in the same enclosure.
Clipping modes are (Center) "Op Amp", classic Symmetric diodes (Top), Germanium (Bottom).
Right footswitch activate the RAT circuit controlled with the "Clipping/Distortion/Filter/Amp" knobs. The center footswitch activate the Octave (Octave knobs). The left footswitch activate a Clean Boost.
Bass Player : We are now offering our A(((ole))) including a Blend knob on the RAT/Octave side. Blending from 0 to 100% of your clean tone to the distorted tone.
Have a look at our Mini version in a standard 125B enclosure : Mini Unicorn or at our death by unicorn Laser Etched edition.
Power consumption : 7mA
Voltage : 9Vdc Center negative
Legacy : You'll see some of our pedals with the licorn skull, this pedal is almost the same except for the Blend knob and some tooling updates. This will not be build again.

Sick pedal, especially on bass
Every time I plug into this pedal, I discover a new incredible tone, with just a bit of playing around with the knobs. I’ve been playing this with a 1979 Les Paul Standard and the cranked fuzz/octave/rat sounds are just demonic, so much fun!
Multi-effet friendly user, transforme ma PJ bass en monstre en un instant. En plus la pédale look autant qu’elle sonne!
Great pedal, makes a huge sound. Opamp clipping sounds noice and keeps the Rat loud even with low gain (my actual Proco Rat is kinda quiet). I use the octave just a little, but it definitely thickens things up even on low. The boost boosts boostily. Everything should have a dry blend knob!! :D
I was very fortunate enough to buy (quite possibly the last one they made) the pedal with the pre/ post toggle. This is a perfect recreation of the Life Pedal by EQD. The rat circuit is crunchy, the ringer is octavey, and the boost is... Boosty. Haha. The pre/ post allows me to place boost before or after the distortion, which it very different tones. This is definitely a great deal considering the EQD is like $300USD and this is only $137USD. I can buy 2 and still have enough to get lunch! Not to mention, my cat on the pedal is white! Everyone loves to look at it... I have yet to wonder why.. haha
