Just thought I'd pass this along for those who can't just try any pedal. I've long had an OCD on my pedal board for heavier Overdrive. Its always sounded pretty good, but I've always wanted to try the Rat due to its history in rock. Anyways...I got a new old stock rat with the better chip (LM308) and had it keeley modded. The keeley mod cleaned it up a bit...the filter certainly sounds better. I put it on the board, next to the OCD and it flat got blown off the board. Bottom line...the OCD may not be a versatile tone-wise as the RAT...but it sounds a lot (a lot, lot) better in my book. So, if you have an OCD like I do...don't waste your money on a RAT.


Reaction to this statement ?






Do you really need a Rat pedal ?

Are you missing a lot if you dont have a Rat pedal ?

This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Apples and oranges. And he obviously didn't try the OCD into the Rat.

The You Dirty Rat is the best dirt pedal I've ever tried. Granted, that isn't a whole tonne of dirt pedals, but that doesn't undermine the fact that it's a great pedal. I get about 90% of my overdriven tones from that pedal and I'm more than happy with it.
