This is the classic-sounding RAT distortion pedal. Think 60s garage rock. Think early punk. Think about the bands that revolutionized the sound of rock 'n' roll.
The secret to the You Dirty RAT’s sound lies in its germanium clipping diodes. Any pedal enthusiast will tell you: nothing beats the warmth provided by these sought-after components. This pedal offers an ideal compromise between distortion and fuzz, combining the characteristic bite of the RAT with the warmth of a classic fuzz.
The You Dirty RAT also offers 3 dB of additional compression compared to the original RAT. This provides not only more warmth, similar to a tube amp, but also increased sustain.
The You Dirty RAT is equipped with the legendary RAT filter control. Turn it to the right to roll off harsh high frequencies. Having trouble cutting through the mix? Turn the filter down and let the natural brightness of your instrument shine through. The distortion and volume controls allow for precise gain adjustment while maintaining a consistent level for your clean tone. You can't go wrong: the legendary RAT sound is unmistakable when the pedal is engaged. True bypass ensures no noise is added to your signal when it is disengaged.
