I'm glad you posted this, I've been trying to figure it out for a while now.

You Dirty RAT is more compressed.
Turbo RAT is brighter, less compressed and more mid-scooped.

Turbo Rat uses LEDs instead of the normal silicon clipping diodes. Put in a toggle switch and you can have both sound options in one pedal.

Re: please educate me on the difference(s) in proco rat peda

My experience with the various Rats can be summed up thusly:

edit: nevermind, two versions of the big box and the "bud box" was before them but not mass produced.

It sure is. I have an '83 big box and an '86 small box and they sound pretty similar in comparison to the other seven rat variants I have owned.space6oy wrote:that site's great.space6oy wrote:http://ratdistortion.com/history/

I've felt just the opposite. I think the Turbo has much more mids than the normal RAT, but that's just my ears. Also more output w/ the Turbo.GardenoftheDead wrote:You Dirty RAT is more compressed.
