SHIPPING TO THE USA – The Royal Mail has created a new PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) service, which will calculate exact costs at the moment we book your shipping. While we are happy to absorb some of the costs, if the cost of the pre-paid duty is significantly more than what you have paid when placing your order, we will be in touch to request the balance is covered by you.
If in doubt, get in touch and we can give you an accurate quote in advance.
We offer free 48-hour tracked UK delivery on all orders over £150! Order before 9pm for next-working-day dispatch.
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns so you can pick the item you want safe in the knowledge that if it's not for you, we'll take it back and refund your order.
International deliveries are subject to additional import duties and VAT at your local rate. These charges are payable to the courier at time of delivery. Calculate how much you will need to pay here.
Please note that some orders may take longer to be processed before shipping during the busiest periods of the year.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be in the same condition

It is recommended that items should be returned using a trackable shipping service in case the item goes missing en route.
The Drunk Beaver Heavy Bat is the "ultimate Rat-style pedal" (at least according to Stefan Karlsson of the Guitar Pedal X blog), who says that the Heavy Bat is "probably my favourite ever Rat to date - even against something as excellent as JHS Pedal’s PackRat."
The Heavy Bat takes the guts of the Bat and Bat Cold War and adds tons of additional switching and modifications for what must be one of the most complete pedals in this genre - ever!
Key to its flexibility is the switchable EQ section, which allows you to choose either the "Classic" one-knob Filter control of the Rat, or "Heavy" to activate a Boss Heavy Metal HM-2-style 3-band tone stack consisting of Low, Mid and High controls.
The Heavy Bat has 8 clipping modes, independent for each channel:
The Heavy Bat has a rotary switch to select from 4 different op-amp chips (twice as many as the Bat and Bat Cold War!):
As well as the various Clipping and Op-Amp modes, the Drunk Beaver Heavy Bat features per-channel Volume controls, a Distortion control and a Blend control which is especially useful for retaining some of your clean signal when playing bass or down-tuned riffing.
The dual-footswitch design allows you to switch between two diode settings on-the-fly.
