Definitely!!!! I tried to get Andrea to take a photo of me lying on the bed Burt Reynolds style, but she absolutely refused hahahahahaha something about payback for putting the Burt Reynolds pic as the back ground of her computer w/o her knowing, then her opening it up in the middle of class in front of a few classmates.....

Anyone in the Brighton area in the UK? Got a friend whose looking for a room at a decent price ASAP, if anyone can help it would be great.

Thanks in advance

I recently got a rat II on a trade for a boss flanger and a cheap humbucker. It's the older 80's one with the big knobs and the lm308. I think I might actually like this better than my Arc Big Green Pi. When I stack it with my big box rat, it sounds absolutely monstrous. I'm definitely more partial to rats then muff, depending on more tests, it may just bump the muff off the board and make sunn 0))) style double rat usage.

Dude, double rat is the way to go. Especially if gazing. Though, I'd try rat into that Pi instead if ditching it. Maybe a Pi sandwich on rat!

examples of Rat>Rat sound?

I clicked them all on a second ago, the feedback was fucking intenseeeeee. I should try and situate them like a sandwich it will probably ridiculous, I can barely fight off the feedback though the sustain is practically infinite. If I find it redundant I'll probably ditch it just because I'm trying to afford a new guitar sometime soon and an explorer is what I'm aiming for.

Oh and if I had a better method of recording I would but for now it will just sound like a clipped mess. Soma of Sunn o))) used 2 rats one big box and a 2 but I have no idea if that changed or when it could've changed. It has a really nice sound though, I don't even raise the gain on either, I have the volume dimed on both and around 9 o clock on the gain. The rat II has a lot more gain on tap so it sounds a lot different when added with the big box that has a more open trashier sound.

i stopped using Rats because of feedback issues, i didn't want that much feedback at the volumes i play at, especially when sustaining notes, no problem when playing faster stuff, but they're really sweet pedals nonetheless, of course. took me a lot of time and flipping to find a go-to dirt pedal i really liked, was fucking nasty, and right for me, but worth the wait. never tried stacking two of them together though

SOMA has used many different setups of gain pedals with Sunn O))) and other projects. His most infamous combo is a S&S Bluebeard and a Big Box Rat (Rat>BB), I have not seen any pedalboard pics with dual rats but that doesn't mean he hasn't used that combo. The closest I've come to the SOMA tone without using that combo is an OCD into an Elements both with the gain dimed, if you go into the BILF posts and go to poll 2 and listen to the second half of clip 7 you can hear what I'm talking about.

That's weird I play pretty loud and I get no feedback issues. Hell I actually seem to get complete silence besides some slight white noise. When I have my big muff on though I get a fuckton of annoying feedback. Either way I'm the same way, I flipped a lot of pedals. I actually avoided stuff like rats because I always though "errr mah gerd bootek" then I got my first rat in a trade. Didn't look back. It's one of my longer held pedals.

I should get a whiteface rat and stack that too. just rat pyramids.

I've seen it live although it is hard to tell with all the smoke, I'm pretty sure I've seen it in other places too. Although a lot of the pictures it's hard to see but there was a point it was two rats. Maybe I'm wrong, but I like the tone a lot. Not really trying to go for Sunn 0))) I'm just a big fan of loose gritty distortion.

that's a hard sort of tone to get.

what is your amp/cab setup?

Here's is "noise" board with two rats:



And apparently the latest Sunn board:



So your correct he does use two rats now, but on the Sunn board he's still using the BB.


I'm a huge SOMA fan, so it's kinda flattering to google "stephen o'malley pedalboard" and my pedalboard pic pops up on the first page
