I just got my new Fender Hot Rod Deluxe home and that baby is nice
Along with it I bought a Pro Co Rat distortion pedal, and oh man, it's really nice ...
Vintage bluesy stuff to hard rock, this thing has got it going on!

Got rid of the Dime Distortion... it wasn't working out with the HRD too well, oh well. I'm happy.

Rock On

Sounds nasty.

how much was the pro co rat?

KILLER...I LOVE my Rat, I use it into a Fender Twin, and it's great!

I had a Rat, and hated it. It clipped, really bad, and not in a good way. I always figured it was broken, until I tried another one and it did the same thing.

I'm not experiencing any clipping... JB, what version of the RAT did you have?

and I love this thing If the family would let me I could stay down there and play all night.

I remember the pedal was on sale, but I got it for as an even trade for my MXR Dime Distortion Pedal which I only bought like a couple weeks ago... so it was a good deal to me.

Rock On

Vintage Rat

Kac...remove the battery cover and read the number on the 8 pin chip...it can be seen through the battery hole.

OK...you have a quot;Vintage Ratquot;...there are a few different ones. What is the number on that chip?

OPO7DP.... Is that what you wanted?

Mine was a Rat2. Imagine you have a really cheap compressor with all the controls maxed out. Now think of what it would sound like if you hit a heavy guage low E really hard through said compressor. You know how it gets really quiet, then kind of fades back into being loud? That's what both of them did.

That's what both of them did.mine is a Rat 2 as well...but there are 2 different chips that came in the Rat 2's...mine has the older one!

That sounds like a broken pedal, right? The second one did the exact same thing! Any ideas why?

BTW, Kac, I'm glad you like yours

i heard some sound clips froms they site and they sound awesome. And they have worse gear than you. Now i wish i would've considered this before i bought the ds-1. that's what i for using harmony central...

BTW, Kac, I'm glad you like yours I don't think they sound broken...just different.
