Thanks guys.

My recording rig is pretty simple. I use a Shure SM57 into a Symetrix SX202 mic preamp into my M-Audio Firewire Solo interface. I stuck the SM57 almost up on the grill, about an inch to the right of the center of the speaker cap.

Just noticed that there's a demos section on this forum. I ran through a few settings earlier today with my Rat Clone.

I wanted to buy a Rat about 10 years ago when I started playing, and I'm glad that I built this pedal. The voicing is what I've always wanted in a distortion pedal. I'm thinking of building another with Ge diodes ala a You Dirty Rat and switchable compensation caps one of these days.

Your build looks amazing. It's really neat inside.

Great demo -- thanks!  Just got the parts to build this in the mail yesterday.  Now I'm pretty geared up.

Thanks. Have fun with your build. I was excited to build mine.

Did you record the part and reamp it? You were very consistent throughout. I really liked that you did a lot of chords and how well structured everything was.

I don't play much lead nowadays, but I also thought that chords would be less grating to listeners if I decided to share my recording. I didn't re-amp the parts, but I should look into making a reamp now that you mention it. It would've made the recording process a lot easier and more consistent. I quickly played all the parts to a click track.

I might record my madbean Rat and Triangle Muff builds in the same manner so I can go through settings that my eyes would be normally put off by.

I barely spent any time in Tchula mode earlier this month (the one being clipped by 2 BAT41s) but I can see myself using it for certain sounds now.

I built a LaVache earlier this month, but didn't get to play it much. I recorded myself playing through a few different settings to familiarize myself with its sounds. I still need to put in an LED indicator for the boost side one of these days.
