FWIW, I used a bone stock chinese RAT2 before I had my Rat Tail, and I still loved it.

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
I'm gonna nag someone locally to build me a turbo rat clone with these mods:
-ruetz mod (the 2 pot version)
-R1 from 220k to 1M
-the resistor to ground in front of the FET to 1M
Think it should work. I'm open for suggestions if you have any.

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
Gonna be giving my Bass Rat another go here when I can muster up some more funds to buy another board.
It'll have Ruetz, 3 way clipping, clean blend, feedback loop with tunable oscillation... Derp. RAT ON BASS IS DA SHIZ

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
I have a 'You dirty rat' pedal and it is the main dirt for my active bass. Being active, I can crank the lows to compensate the rat's low end loss. The tone it produces reminds me of a bowed upright bass.

FUCK CLEAN BLENDS AND THE CLEAN BLEND THEY RODE IN ON!!!
Personally, I prefer Turbo Rats on bass, but ymmv and whatnot.

I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
When I was 12 (I think) I bought my first pedal which was a Turbo Rat because I heard Krist used a rat. Now, I'm wanting to come full circle again. Ha.

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
Also, what got me thinking of rats again is this band:
http://ipswich.bandcamp.com/
The bassist uses a Biyang Mouse. Haze (track 6) in particular showcases it well.

Re: Anybody use a rat on bass?
Amen. I used to really like clean blends, but then I started getting into doom, which promptly put an end to that.

Minus the Ruetz, I believe what you've described is jut the OG Rat. IvIark based his layout on the '86 Rat:
It'd be pretty easy to add the Ruetz pots in, too.
