Just got this from eBay. The seller included a heartfelt poem about the Rat, plus some patch cables.
I dig it a lot, though I haven't had much time to play with it. Kinda sorta replacing/being an alternative to my Big Muff, which doesn't work well with my reverb. The Rat seems to do the job though. Plus it's nice and doom-ey/Earth-ey.

99.99999999% of the Sunn sound is the Rat.

I love how the reissue ones end up looking just as beat to shit as the originals.

Agreed

Rat > Muff
Or
Muff > Rat

Both equally sexy.

Have an early Vintage reissue like that and I love, love, love it. Does so many sounds so well, including lower gain distortion and overdrivey stuff and clean boosting.

Sunovabeach DOS.

I just got a Hyperion/ruiner coming in the mail.

And then I hear this.

Fucking gas for days.

This. I got my vintage reissue in 92 and will never part with it. People underestimate the Rat at their peril - as Gone Fission says, it's such a versatile pedal that pretty much does everything well. I use mine to goose just about every other fuzz on my board. It makes EVERYTHING sound better

Sorry mang.

If it makes you feel any better, you probably can't get away with doing the Sunn thing in a band context in 2013 anyway?


(Rats are awesomely aggro pedals, though).

Thats cool.
Gotta love a dirty rat.
Enjoy.
