It's not often that a Rat variant excite me more than an actual Rat... Tried others with various James or Baxandall add-ons, and they were always kinda meh. But, this thing fucking slays, and it's earned a permanent spot on my board
Since this thing pumps out so much volume, is decided to replace the LEDs on the board with Germanium(D9K). I also didn't notice I'd grabbed an on/off/on, so the LEDs rejoined the fold (violence)
To take advantage of the bass this can pump out, I wanted to give it a little more to play with, so I replaced the 560r/4.7u with the 220r/47u from the Juggernaut. This gives it more low end over the sweep of the Distortion pot, and allows it to push the chip even harder toward the end of the distortion pots rotation.
I replaced the distortion pot with a D100k so the fuzzier bits happen a lil later in the rotation. I also installed a 470r resistor between lug 1 and it's spot on the board so it doesn't cut out completely when it's zeroed
Lastly, I added a 100pf cap across lugs 1&3 of the volume pot to rein in a bit of the super sizzles while still maintaining the huge range of the High pot.
The enclosure is a custom deal from Scientific Uppercut, the bottom plate including the inside is chromed out for max reflectivity. Knobs are Obelisks from love my Switch's, jacks are Lumbergs, toggle is Taiway, and the stomper is one of the LMS branded soft touch Gorvas
For the sake of this demo, let's pretend that I'm not too close to the mic, and that in fact the bassist from KoRn is jamming with me
