Title: Slow Loris "Rat Rod"
Post by: AntKnee on November 02, 2014, 02:51:39 AM
A little cheesy, I know, but I had to do it. Rats! ...in a car! How could I not?

I have only played around with this a little, but I really like it. I like it much more than I remember liking a rat back when I actually had an original one.

I'm experimenting lately with overdrive and distortion pedals in series, so that each following pedal adds a new level of gain and/or distortion. This pedal works really well (for me) at the end of the chain. I'm now really liking an SHO clone, into a Kingslayer, into the Slow Loris. It doesn't take much gain on this pedal to really push into buzzsaw territory. Lots of fun!

Cheesy? Yes. Awesome? Even more so! I really like that graphic. Very clean and tidy on the inside too!

Thanks, everyone!

I gave some thought to aging it, or using rusty parts in keeping with the rat rod theme. Since I didnt think of that until after I applied envirotex, the thing was going to be shiny no matter what, so I just went with it.
