OVERDRIVE- JAM PEDALS RATTLER MK Mk ll ___NEW___ a Rat clone

 JAM Pedals 
RATTLER Mkll
$240.00 USD
The first Rattler was more of a dead on clone even using the original OpAmp the LM308. It was only used on the Big Box Rat and for a year in the enclosure still used today on the Rat ll . They only made about 500 original chip Rat pedals. What you have head used by 99% of classic recordings is a Rat ll 
A brand new Rat ll is identical to the first. There are no secret Rat lll dumbed down rats. You want that perfect proCo Rat sound then just buy a new one. I digress. The new Jam uses their own OpAmp, not am LM308 or the Rat ll OpAmp.
The layout is Volume, Tone and Level. A second footswitch kicks 
in a mid boost and a toggle lets you go from real Rat tube like asymmetrical distortion, to Tube Screamer like symmetrical distortion. 
    CONCLUSION ___
The ProCo Rat virtually defined the hardclipper category 
of distortion pedal. The Jam is indeed a hardclipper 
and a very, very good one. In my opinion it is 100% 
NOT a Rat!!! A ProCo Rat ll is $72.00 USD. 
I would NEVER part with mine!
