One of our all-time favorite JAM Pedals has just hit the next level with a "V2" upgrade that is about as versatile as you'll find any Rat-style overdrive/distortion pedal! Whether it be low gain boost/drive, medium gain punch, or high gain sizzle, the Rattler MK.2 can pretty much do it all! Here's what our friends at JAM have to say about the newest incarnation of the Rattler...
"We have always prided ourselves on refining and delivering the iconic tones of early 80s distortion boxes with our Rattler. Now, the snake has shed its old skin to usher in a new era of decadent saturation!
Incorporating a custom-designed discrete component op-amp that maintains all the beloved characteristics of the original, adding a custom-voiced mid boost, and introducing a second clipping option, the new Rattler is here to claim a forever spot on your board.
Custom op-amp: With the LM308 chips being long discontinued and hard to find, we developed a custom op-amp to ensure a dependable supply. Our proprietary design, featuring discrete components, preserves the open, dynamic, and tube-amp feel that made the original Rattler so revered.
Clipping Options: Choose between new symmetrical and
original asymmetrical clipping options for distinct feel and
saturation profiles.
Mid Boost Footswitch: Use the second footswitch to engage a mid boost before the Rattler, adding new dimensions to your tone. Don’t think of this as a volume boost but as a tone enhancer!"
