Title: Slow Loris - White RAT
Post by: Kinki fuzz on February 25, 2014, 01:12:23 PM
My take in a true classic, I'm not confident enough to try white labels on a black box, so I went the opposite and built this white RAT.

The diodes are a pair of 1N4148 and a pair of 1N60P. LEDs also sounded great, but 1N60s won the contest.

Nothing new I can say about the sound, I love the mean and dirty distortion it delivers. You like it or not, but there's nothing like a RAT. Love to have an extra clipping option. The sweep control is good to tame the beast and expand the usability, but to be honest I use it down most of the time, I like it raw.

Great project and PCB if you want to take the RAT path.

Looks great. The Rat is always close to my heart. I am a huge fan of the lower gain settings of the vintage rat. The black on white looks fantastic.
