Rattler

Product Overview

Vintage Distortion based on the legendary original RAT. Made with carbon comp resistors for a pure vintage sound !

comes in 2 versions :

  • Rattler classic : the classic RAT sound, made for those who seek an original vintage distortion sound ! Featuring the NOS and rare chip : LM308N (just like in the original vintage RAT)

 

  • Rattler+ : Featuring the extremely rare LM308 can version chip, Rattler+ offers a unique tone, transparent "Ratty" overdrive and less gain than the classic. With the extra switch you have the choice for extra gain, which brings you closer to the Rattler classic.

"Though still just bubbling under the large wave of boutique effects pedals, JAM pedals' work stands out ! I am particularly fond of The Rattler, as I have been on the prowl for toneful yet high-gain distortion. There are plenty of fuzzboxes out there these days (and JAM has some good ones, too) but few distortion boxes. The Rattler has that fat, creamy sound/sustain yet doesn't have to be turned up all the way step out when full-on raging is required !" Nels Cline


"The Rattler+ works for me as a simple transparent preamp with a tone control, and a huskier voice if I dig my nails in." Adrian Legg
