A great RAT distortion pedal

4 Comments »

The Rabid Rodent is a distortion pedal built my friend Bob at www.duhvoodooman.com. It is more or less a copy of the classic Proco RAT distortion pedal, but the Rabid Rodent has a lot more tonal options.

In this demo, I am playing a Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow, which has high output humbuckers in it. The amp I am using is a 4 watt GEM amp from http://www.mackamps.com . I did not use any other effects used in this video. The volume of the amp on this volume was very low, to avoid clipping on the camera microphone. I stunned at how good this setup sounds! I can get tone close to those of a Marshall stack, but without the ear splitting volume. I highly recommend this pedal if you are looking for a great and versatile distortion pedal. I also use it for blues. You get such a fat tone out of this pedal, and with single coils and low gain on the pedal, a sweet blues tone can be had.

Contact DuhVoodooMan and he will build you one too.
