    Ive already given my opine. I have nothing to do with the other guy. Don't believe everything on the internet.
    I have the Mosky Black Rat and it works fine & for $25 bucks i wouldn't expect miracles.
    The filter knob on my Mosky works fine.

    Pro Co rat prices are outrageous. The reissues don't even have the correct LM308 chip and they want $150 and up.
    Rats from da 80's are way more and not worth the hype IMO.
    1000's of options.
    I had a Pro Co Rat reissue, the filter knob was useless and i couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

    Whats in a name ? NOT MUCH.

      Another type of OD/Dist stomp that gets interesting mids is a Treble Booster.

      I use a Catalinbread Naga Viper.

        Treble boosters are often overlooked and I think it's because of the misleading name. Those who haven't tried one assume it's going to make your sound trebly, while the boosting actually begins in the lower frequencies. I have a Colour Boost and I love what it does with a tube amp.

        I also have two Lovepedals that stack classic Rangemaster boost into a germanium fuzzface circuit, with a balance control so you have a continuous range of blend between the two. Cool idea.

          The colourbooster isn't considered a treble boost, is it?

            I have used a long time ago a rangemaster variant that had some voicing options and it was pretty cool!

                Yes it is. Classic germanium circuit just like the original Rangemaster, but with the addition of a Colour knob that offers the option of three other shelf frequencies.

                      I've played some more with the Myomorpha but this time I used not the stock speaker on my rocker 15 combo but used my 68 custom Princeton Reverb cab and the Celestion g10 vintage. Much less fizz on top, but enough to sound bad to me at anything but full distortion settings which sound... Not bad. But the medium gain sounds just sound like not enough treble is being cut somewhere critical in the circuit and the filter knob isn't affecting it

                      It's not the worst thing ever for $29,
                      The $75 rat clone should show up Monday and I'll see how it goes

                        I sold my old Rat 2 after I got one of these... a "Little Bear Rat Attack" could'nt tell the difference at all and it cost about $35 shipped...



                        It's the same size as a Rat though...so the only advantage is price.

                            Hehe maybe I just need to crank my amp more but my rat-like pedal sounds not nearly as meaty and very fizzy at this same settings! Distortion is all so fizzy until about noon on the knob

                            Ah but yeah good sound
                            Sometime I gotta get a chorus pedal too, been forever since I've used one

                              Again - much like a DS1, a Rat is best used to goose an JCM800.

                                absolutely. less gain more volume is always the answer!
