The BYOC is better quality then a current version of the RAT.
And you get different clipping.

Rat clones are quickly becoming the new "it" distortion pedal of the boutique world. The circuit is easy
to modify, has a huge range of distortion tones, and just sounds really good. The BYOC mouse kit has
a 6-way clipping rotary switch that makes it one of the most versatile overdrive/distortion pedals around.

Position 1: "Vintage" Symmetrical Distortion
Position 2: "Turbo" Distortion
Position 3: Asymmetrical Distortion
Position 4: Symmetrical O.D.
Position 5: Asymmetrical O.D.
Position 6: MOSFET O.D.

And the BYOC Mouse kit comes with a real LM308 chip just like the original big box RATs, not some
"work-a-like" chip, so it has the vintage tone you'd expect. If you want one pedal that covers everything
from vintage distortion to boutique overdrive....the BYOC mouse has got it covered.
