Need some help...

Post by Radiohead625 »

Ok so I'm trying to figure out which Rat is on this pedal board http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpTfHdaDf1M That's my personal video of Russell Marsden's pedal board. It looks like it has some red writing on it. Here are some of my favorite live videos as well so you can hear how it sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51xCzqFaZNk

Wow.. im surprised because it sounds so good, but ive heard nothing but bad things about the turbo. Is it better at low volumes or something? How does he get it to sound like that?

Turbo seems to work for some. Which clipping diodes is the only real diff, with LEDs in the Turbo. Switchable clipping diodes is a really popular mod for any model.

BTW, the Turbo is still US built as far as I know and with quality parts, so it's a good platform to mod. Including when going for the original Rat sound.
