I actually prefer the newer one, tone seemed to have more body.

Very cool man, great review, playing, and shoes! I actually like the new one more, who'd've guessed.

I had a RAT 2 for years and did gainstacking with Marsahll BB-1.

I tried the Turbo rat in hope of better gain, but couldn't take the lack of definition.

I don't remember too well, but both rats had to go because i couldn't get the topend/definition

that I wanted, they are distortion/fuzz boxes and not overdrives.

But if you can play loud and use the rats as boosters with grit, I think you can make kickass noises :-)

I have a high gain tube amp, could this be used to boost my distorted channel or would that just be too much? I'm in need of a good overdrive pedal. suggestions?

I like the old one. New one sounded a bit muddier.

@HaywirePictures He does play guitar. He's in a band "Tenacious D"

[HaywirePictures]

@joshboitnott oh my god he totally does...what if he actually is????

[TheAcousticFrenzy]

i was really looking forward to your opinion through the entire video, i'm heart broken.

@JBiggsNewJersey

I agree, but the '85 whiteface RAT sounds better than both of these.

[74997499b]

The RAT2 is the better sounding of the two here, but the '85 whiteface reissue RAT sounds better than both of these.

[joshboitnott]

He sounds like Jack Black
