Re: RAT ATTACK
okay so i played it last night for a bit through my Ampeg. first impression: more scooped than im used to. but nit sounds cool. up to about 10 o'clock on the distortion knob is pretty much a really edgy overdrive, and then anywhere past that it turns into a thick fuzzy distortion. basically it does what i was hoping it would do. cant wait to rock it amadeus at practice tomorrow. might make it on the board for our festival show on saturday.

Re: RAT ATTACK
rats are the best edgy overdrive tho
i really like the dist. ~10 o'clock and filter around noon kinda sound with the VR. only reason i kept my '86 over it is cos the VR sounded a bit too woolly in the upper gain range, they have a certain smoothness that's cool though, and a lot of volume on tap. for a higher gain sound try stacking an EQ or boost or something into in with the volume pushed a bit, I found that way got more articulate higher gain sounds than by cranking the distortion.

Re: RAT ATTACK
Seconded. I really dig my VR. They are a modders dream pedal. So much room in there to do things. I've only done a little bit to mine so far. But I have plans to do a lot more.jrmy wrote:I lurve me some Rat.

Re: RAT ATTACK
Only thing I've ever done to my VR is clean the pots. All it ever needed.

Re: RAT ATTACK
I hated RATs until recently. Now my board is two clones, one set to a really low gain, always on sound with tons of volume, and one set as a distortion that I use for fuzz and that's the only dirt I'm using.
