Affordable, gritty Rat for all of your Rat needs

Great, affordable Rat clone that emulates the Rat and Turbo Rat sounds that have been used in countless songs spanning almost all genres. Stacks nicely with other pedals for your classic Rat tone combos. An all round good copy of the 70s icon.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Volume at 9 o'clock, Gain at 3 o'clock Filter at 11 o'clock - Perfect heavy distortion to run into a lighter overdrive like a klon or tubescreamer (or appropriate clone)
