Wampler Ratsbane Overdrive/Distortion

The Wampler Ratsbane Distortion is a full-range distortion pedal that can go from creamy smooth drive to full-blown fuzzy dirt. This versatile little gain machine features an improved filter control the further you crank it the more cutting your tone becomes- from a warm creamy response to a more piercing high-frequency attack. As the name suggests this was designed to become your main distortion pedal; sheer versatility and its rich rounded tone guarantees this will be the case. It wouldnt be a Wampler pedal without a few intuitive additions to the circuitry though: in this case two new toggle switches help bring the thunder. On the left is Gain which alters your gain stages: flick left for a firmer tighter response flick right for a creamier smoother response. On the right is Voice which subtly alters the clipping and compression to deliver more modern high-gain tones. Get experimenting to find your ideal combination.
