Isn't a RAT dialed for low gain just the best sound ever?

The saturation feels really smooth and it surprised me since at high gain it turns into fuzz. I like it even more than the usual choices like Tubescreamer and ODR1

I’ve never tried a RAT. I got hooked on the Strymon Sunset and didn’t realize for a long time that I was mostly using the Rat setting.

One of my favorite sounds is my JAM Rattler at low gain mixed with another drive pedal. It adds that slight raw edge.

Nuno!

The gate feature is like magic for some players. It really brings out the pick attack and everything.

I split my bass signal and send half through a RAT at low to medium gain, and it’s fantastic.

I built a RAT clone with amazing LEDs instead of the diodes. It’s even better than I expected.

I just found out the same thing while trying to use it as a light overdrive. I’m always amazed by how flexible RATs can be.
