    Thank you, kind sir. I always love coming here to get opinions and perspectives.

    The RAT I have sounds pretty good in front of a BF amp. Granted, I'm not a seasoned guitarist, but it works for me.

    I wish I could find an affordable germanium-driven Vox Tonebender like the one I owned back in the '60s. Once I figured out how to use it correctly with a Strat it sounded awesome -- everything from Beck-era Yardbirds to Cream-era Clapton.

    took me quite a while too. I drive the amp just a bit so my “clean” sound is pleasantly warm and then use the fuzz. With single coils this sounds better and thicker than using the fuzz on a totally clean amp.

    How do you do it?

    I rely on the voices in my Zoom G1X amp simulator for basic OD tones then hit the OCD whenever I need an extra kick for soloing.

    Lately I am just using these.

    I am dialing in the Revival for each amp so I can get maximum clean to cobbed Marshall on everything.

    For everything I also hit the Cali.

    The Slide Rig is so good on slide stuff I keep it in the mix.

    Reverb is all handled through the Reverbrato as it has excellent controls for rooms.

    The Weber lets me use any cab trough any head so it is usually in there.

    The Gamechanger is killer for certain stuff.

    Dug out the Vox Wah, but also picked up an MXR ISO Brick power supply. Now I'm playing with pedal order:

    The RAT is, IMHO, the ultimate dirt pedal for a strat player. I love mine and even think about buying a spare one.

    If you're looking for a spare, keep in mind and keep your eyes open that it's a similar era, and the same transistor chip inside. Or make sure it sounds like you want it to. I have one that I got in the mid 90s, and it's been my sound since - I've had a lot of pedals come and go, but nothing has beat it. I did get a second one a while back, but it doesn't sound the same. I can't explain it, but it doesn't have the same oomph as the first. It works great dialed back on the distortion, as an overdrive as opposed to full-on filth.

    I built the board a while ago... the "final" itteration... the PedalPad was a great find - too bad they don't make them any more. What was great was that almost every pedal was either a Musician's Friend stupid deal of the day, or free...
