Effects builder Affordaboard has officially announced the release of its latest creation, the “Murican Idiot” Drive. This exclusive, high-performance stompbox is limited to a run of just five units, making it an instant collector’s item for gear enthusiasts and tone chasers alike.
The “Murican Idiot” is a refined evolution of the legendary ProCo Rat-style circuit. While it retains the aggressive, harmonically rich distortion that defined decades of rock history, Filthy Rat has introduced modern engineering upgrades to solve age-old design quirks.
Classic Grit Meets Modern Engineering
Based on a certain idiotic American president, who we are sure you all guess just from the graphics on the stompbox. This one would pair well with the “Fuck ICE” overdrive pedal.
One of the most notable improvements in the Filthy Rat circuit is the redesigned Tone control. Unlike the original vintage units, which use a reverse-filtering mode, the “Murican Idiot” features an intuitive control scheme that behaves exactly as modern players expect.
Behind the tongue-in-cheek “Murican Idiot” graphics—which the builder notes are “a bit of fun” and not intended as a political statement—lies a sophisticated internal layout.
The pedal is engineered for endless sustain and a versatile gain range that stays musical even at extreme settings.
Hand-Built British Quality
Designed and manufactured entirely in the UK, each “Murican Idiot” Drive is made to order. This hands-on approach ensures a level of character and “boutique soul” rarely found in mass-produced alternatives.
The builder was quick to credit the UK pedal community for their support in the development process, extending thanks to Simon at JSA Effects, Adam at AV Pedals, and Scott at Gojira Effects.
Technical Specifications
The “Murican Idiot” is housed in a standard pedalboard-friendly enclosure (120mm x 65mm x 39.5mm) and is built for professional use:
-
Circuitry: Classic Rat-style with modern sustain enhancements.
-
Power: 9V DC (Centre Negative) – No battery connector for eco-friendly, streamlined use.
-

Pricing and Availability
Because these units are hand-assembled to order, customers should allow up to one week for delivery. In a move to support the domestic market, Filthy Rat is offering Free UK Delivery on all five units.
Given the extremely limited nature of this five-pedal run, they are expected to sell out rapidly.
Interested guitarists can find the “Murican Idiot” Drive exclusively at Affordaboard.
