      What about this effect?

      I've just bought it used for 50 € (great price compared to normal new price that is around 100 €)

      Anybody used that?

      I've just test the new effect for some minutes yesterday (today will be the official test with the band) and as the claim says: it has "more fuzz than a police convention!" ha ha, that's right! What a powerful fuzz it is!

      I've got a '78 Telecaster and a Peavey Calssic 30 amp and it sounds great! Unfortunately I can't push it to the limit cause with my guitar the amp starts screaming cause of the too bright tones but is still a great effect.

      Sure that with a guitar with humbucker pickups it will give you the boost as a fuzzed single coil guitar can have.

      I've also got a Big Muff effect but this Dirty Rat sounds even better.

      I'm still waiting to recieve it by mail...I also have a normal rat pedal but I can't use it well because with my '78 Telecaster I got problems with tones and if I try a distortion like rat without close all my guitar tones, the amplifier starts to whistle without control.

      I know that this version of the pedal is a half way between a classic fuzz and a Rat distortion...I will tell you my test in a few days ;-)

      I'm not hip to this pedal.  I do have an old ProCo Rat (which is a great pedal, by the way) that I have had for twenty years or so.  How does the Dirty Rat differ from to regular Rat?
