Best RAT pedal

DickPuound 08.09.2021

I was looking for a RAT style pedal with the following characteristics:
- As similar as possible to the original circuit
- Made in EU, Japan or US.
- More towards the vintage RAT sound but if it was modern it had to be unique

Saw a really good Reverb video on RAT style comparisons and my favorite was the Big Ear Woodcutter, that sounded the best and was the kind of sound I was looking for, followed by the Rattler which was a bit more modern. The main difference being the asymmetrical clipping vs the symmetrical of the original.
Unfortunately, the Woodcutter is sold out since month and there was nothing to be found in the used market, so I went for the Rattler.
Overall the pedal sounds great, loads of gain available, good compression and overall that classic RAT sound with a modern twist.
No regrets on getting this one over the Woodcutter, I still suits my needs and sounds so good with excellent workmanship that it's hard to be disappointed.

Quality Vintage RAT Style Distortion

Anthony C. (BE) 24.03.2024

Superior "Rat" type Distortion:

This is the asymmetrical clipping one which is beautifully crafted in Greece.

The sound is what I was looking for as I was not convinced with lot of reissues and more modern Rat/Clone pedal types.

The sound is warm, creamy and asymmetrically grainy in the good sens.
The Rattler + offers You a more symmetrical sound with more gain.
Extremely large specter of gain possibility and can also totally replace a mediocre overdrive channel on some lower budget amps.

On some higher-end amps , mix the Rattler with the Overdrive channel or exacerbate Your output and the sounds can literally become insane.

This was the product I was looking for - Top quality You can go for a Rattler or Rattler+, or any Jam Pedals products with Your eyes closed.

Rat Pedal on Steroids Without The Noise

Cris E 04.05.2024

I love Rat pedals; it's probably my favorite classic stompbox. This is the best Rat pedal clone/variant I have ever tried. It has the classic Rat sound but without the noise as you crank up the gain; it still gets some noise as all drive/distortion pedals do when you crank them, but it is so much less than a normal Rat pedal and other clones. The Ratsbane, for example, can't touch this pedal, even though it is great (I'm a fan of Wampler pedals). I can even drive this pedal into metal territories without really needing a noise gate (it is pretty much required if you are using a normal rat with the gain maxed).

The only thing (which isn't a negative) is that the Tone (T) knob is reversed from the classic Rat function, so that it gets brighter as you turn the knob right/clockwise, which is how most tone knobs work (it's really a high cut filter that cuts less as you turn the knob). For some reason, the original Rat pedal has the knob work in reverse from how you would expect it, so maybe that's an improvement, depending on your perspective.

Anyways, I have over 30 drive/distortion pedals and have tried almost all the classics including duke of tone/king of tones, every wazacraft/keeley modded boss pedal, so many tube screamers/clones, OG Klon and so many Klones (been using the MXR sugar drive lately), most wampler drive pedals, most caitlinbread pedals, Emma, xotic, Diezel, etc., and this is the one drive pedal I will always keep. I just wish they could make a mini one!

Tasty RATty Distortion

Diatonico 28.08.2021

I wanted a RAT-style distortion. I went with this one.

Pros:
+ Orgasmic tonal flavour — it sounds a little less hairy and a touch more well-rounded than the original. Perfect if you think the RAT is a bit too unrefined/hairy.
+ Gorgeous hand-painted design.
+ Pedalboard-friendly size (as opposed to the original).
+ You get a fabric pouch for the pedal, handy if you don't want to risk scratching the paint job if it's in your drawer.

Cons:
- It's very close to a RAT, but it doesn't go to the same fizzy extreme... If you're looking for that kind of thing.
- No switch for fatrat, turbo mode (like on a black secret) or high gain (like the Limited edition Rattler).
- Boutique price
