Love as is but need to get an 18 volt and see what's up as many say this is even better. Mosfet is definitely softer and more smooth but the stock setting is a classic. The switches and what knot help expand the tones to many more awesome possibilities but stock is always great to. Really amp like and when pushing the volume it really gives a 6l6 type tube grind IMO and very dynamic for a Silicon based pedal. Much like a fuzz but with more clarity, articulation and never woofy or too compressed. Really no other way but at the end of the chain in command of the DS and pretty much as you said. Too great suggestion and that's how I ended up setting it up. With a Sugar Drive for a subtle push it's fantastic. Sounds amazing as well going through the PRRI.īut damn GreenBack and this is a match in heaven. Really hard to beat this one here but again feel any of the RAT fam would do.Ĭlick to expand.Not on the humbuckers to much but got the RAT, AC15 and Greenback again giving another run. Boost into a cooked amp for hairy more heavy dirty tone to taste or use to push a clean amp to stupid gain levels as well.ĭefinitely not for everyone but something a gain head can appreciate and find mega use out of. Still figuring out the kinks as its different but I'm figuring it out. Longtime Colombo under-boss John 'Sonny' Franzese is the living embodiment of the ultimate mob rule bragging in an interview about refusing to rat despite it making him the oldest federal. I feel I would have been just as happy with a You Dirty RAt or Turbo, also MIA and made in Michigan Kalamazoo I believe. Almost hi fi and again really dynamic and articulate overall across many ranges of dirt and hair. This is the tragic history of the Rat Pack. As effortlessly awesome as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop appeared to be, there was actually a lot of turmoil and sadness behind the scenes. I've never played such a nice well built sturdy pedal, additionally the sound quality is really great. The Rat Pack is the epitome of Mad Men-style old-school cool. Again the sound and overall build and quality of tone are top notch. This not only sounds as good as those vids but also better in person here. Yes it offers some new options and I'm finding all sorts of different tones here with just two switches and 3 knobs.but in the end it also still offers the classic unadulterated RAT tones one would expect from hearing clips.Įver hear a pedal on vids and are surprised when it gets home it's nothing like you Imagine? You can really feel and tell the quality playing it and stomping on it. Here's to a dope American manufacturer keeping a classic alive and doing it right made in America or in China but sure glad they still make an here to. Definitely appreciate the quality and American craftsmanship.Īll of them are made in Kalamazoo Michigan I believe short of the super affordable and equally as good RAT2 made in China. Overall great quality and super durable, awesome tones and again made in Kalamazoo Michigan. Also will add it's built like a brick tank.
