one word: five dollar diodes

There's only two diodes in there—four tops! That's only an extra $20, not $170.

let's see ... rapcohorizon buys proco in 2010 then rhc gets bought by act lighting about a decade later and now we've got $350 rat pedals that are somehow worse than the Chinese rat 2 ... there, you're all caught up

Yes, over and over they mention the premium $0.50 op-amp

 

[JohnnyCreepy]

Im building a tube amp cheaper god damn. And how it’s better than Mosky King Rat?

Edit. No leds - gtfo Vermin!

 

[drgonzo1969]

It's a rat for lawyers that own PRS' and two rock amps.

in a world where equally cheap and more suitable op amps exist, we're going to advertise the 741 as premium

 

[Aentons]

Are they implying they used actual sterling silver

I feel like saying any op amp is perceived as a premium. Same goes for brands of other components or other (arguably specious) specs.

Lets make a discrete rat! I'd use this opamp work-alike instead of the full 741, though.

put that rat turd in a mix and tell me it was money well spent and couldn’t be achieved with any other rat variant DIY or commercial for a fraction of the cost.
