Guitar Heel
Demented Trick
Any suggestions? I need some different dirt, and I've never owned a Rat. Any ideas regarding a good ProCo model or clone?
Avoid at all costs the TurboRat...I had one, and it was a raspy, nasally, useless box of shit...
When I A-B'd it with a friend's regular Rat I thought there was huge difference...maybe I had a bad one...The only difference between the Rat and Turbo Rat is the clipping section. The Turbo Rat uses LEDs instead of the LM308 chip. The LEDs have twice as much volume and half as much gain. But you can set them up to sound exactly the same.
highDo you want high gain or low gain?
As a bit of background, I'm actually selling my Box of Metal to fund this, as I've just lost interest in it. Too muddy for me. I don't love the Box of Rock, as I think it sounds a bit generic (lots of "dimed Marshall" pedals out there). I know that's a Distortron with an SHO, right?RAT and its derivatives
Shredmaster et al
Z-Vex Mastotron

Anyway, why do you recommend the Mastotron? I love Zvex, so I'll definitely check it out. I think it's the only gain pedal of theirs I haven't tried personally.
I've found some cheap Rat clones from Eno. Any experience with those?
