12/31/2022 0 Comments Rat distortion pedal serial number![]() ![]() The RAT is farily easy to mod on your own if you know what you are doing and there is a wealth of knowledge on the internet to help you out. Then try out a number of different OPAMPs in the circuit. ![]() If you want a great distortion pedal for your solid state amp, look elsewhere, but if you have a tube amp and you want it to get all fat, nasty, and broken up, even the newer RAT pedals will do wonders.Ī side note: if you are proficient with a soldering iron, I would recommend desoldering the OPAMP and soldering in a DIP8 socket. YMMV but to me the RAT is as much a fuzz pedal as it is a "d istortion". ![]() The RAT running through a good tube amp (even one like the AC30) sounded much better, much warmer, and really brought out some great FUZZ tones. I couldn't dial in a tone that sounded good no matter what I did.Īfter I bought my tube amp (a VOX AC30C2) I decided to give it a try again as I noticed that a number of my pedals I already had sonded much different through the tube amp. I originally tied out a frinds early '90s RAT with a solid state practice amp. But in my experience, the tone you get from it depends a much on your amp as it does the pedal. The RAT is one of those pedals like the TS9 that everyone should have at some time in their playing life. ![]()
