Favorite Rat

[Driver Blues]

This thread got me looking into RAT clips and I spent maybe a little too much money on a whiteface reissue.

This thing rips! With just 3 controls and the knobs on my guitar I can do just about anything with this thing! Especially with the interactivity that was mentioned earlier.

I could do a whole set with this thing with just the onboard controls on my guitar!

Definitely holding onto this one

I'm looking at a used 1981 DRV at my local pawnshop but I'm unable to get a chance to play it. And No Refunds.

Has anyone here tried it and how does it compare to a vintage rat? I remember the rat having some big areas of the controls where nothing happened, not a lot of bass, and being pretty bad at low gain. Has tbe DRV addressed this?

I couldn't tell you, but I see them a lot, so people like them.

Your opinion is your opinion, but I'm thinking you remember wrong.

Modified RAT w/ NOS LM308 and some tweaks.

Have to go with the Proco SOLO. Most versatile to my ears with amazing searing tones. But...I do feel that I've never had a bad experience with a Rat.

I have a Sonicake Rude Mouse (same factory as Mooer) and currently building a rat variant with bass pot and a blend for the hard clippers. I like the Fat Rat with a strat.

I have been toying around with the idea of replacing the stock tone control on my Rat with a James tone stack, but that would require a daughter board.
