Bad Larry is a hybrid distortion/fuzz combining RAT-style op-amp drive with a Big Muff Pi tone stack, built around a NOS LF351 op-amp.

Two knobs (Volume, Gain) control level and saturation. Three toggle switches provide 27 possible voicing combinations: Bass switch adjusts low-end into the clipping stage, Clip switch selects hard clipping/boost/bass boost, and Mid switch chooses mid cut/flat/boosted mids.

Kurt Ballou's studio favorite for bass guitar — prized for its "clanky bass" character. Steel enclosure hand-welded by Dusty Hansen with graphics etched by Brad Macomber.
