We have always prided ourselves on refining and delivering the iconic tones of early 80s distortion boxes with our Rattler. Now, the snake has shed its old skin to usher in a new era of decadent saturation!
Incorporating a custom-designed discrete component op-amp
that maintains all the beloved characteristics of the original, adding a custom-voiced mid boost, and introducing a second clipping option, the new Rattler is here to claim a forever spot on your board.
KEY FEATURES:
- Custom op-amp:With the LM308 chips being long discontinued and hard to find, we developed a custom op-amp to ensurea dependable supply. Our proprietary design, featuring discrete components, preserves the open, dynamic, and tube-amp feel that made the original Rattler so revered.
- Clipping Options:Choose between new symmetrical and original asymmetrical clipping options for distinct feel and saturation profiles.
- Mid Boost Footswitch:Use the second footswitch to engage a mid boost before the Rattler, adding new dimensions to your tone. Don’t think of this as a volume boost but as a tone enhancer!
With the new Rattler, you can enjoy the same fat and creamy distortion as its predecessor, now with enhanced versatility and tonal options. Whether you’re rocking modern or vintage rigs, this devious snake is ready to rattle your audience off their feet!
