It is a distortion, it is nothing, except that it is versatile trs ... For example, she uses t by Kurt Cobain and the jazzman John Scofield! It is analog transistors, which does not mean much for pedals: Unlike amps, pedals are the most rputes transistors.
The PDAL is mtal black, heavy trs, trs apparently solid ...

In short: it is a tool, Designed to be forgotten and operate for years without care.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is very simple: three knobs: distortion, filter and volume. The functions of the first two are empty, the last changes the balance between the bass and treble to the left, more acute, right, more serious. Dot a range trs lev this knob is the true secret of the pedals, which gives it its versatility. Nothing to do with the other filters disto!
The 3 knobs are trs progressive (except may be the volume, but is super teachers) for use on all their race, and can simply accder trs tr s large variety of rglages. They are also trs complmentaires: the position of the filter will not give the same rsultats by level of distortion, and live-versa.
Finally, the volume knob is very practical: Unlike other pedals, it just changes the sound (well, outside noise), so it is always possible to play low.
SOUND QUALITY
I use this with a Vox Valvetronix PDAL hybrid simulation / plutt lamps and vintage guitars (Telecaster quarter with cash and P90).
The PDAL is a surprising versatility: you can go with the same joy of an almost clean that saturates just an attack on big trs violent distortion, through all the intermediate sounds intermediaries. The knob allows the filter to go from highest to heavier, but also a round, sweet sound fuzz trs aggressive.
On the other hand, it is fairly clear: the sound of the guitar and amp utiliss remain recognizable, and the play of the guitar.
In Manir gnrale, this Rat, however well it a fairly rough (yes it is not clear, but TRS I would not say better), everyone is not have to love it.
Finally, a small point ngatif: This RAT2 suffers from a relative lack of bass that the same filter can not be corrected. This may well be offset sr amp, but some agne. Not me ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several months. What I love is that it manages to keep a clean personality while allowing obtained in minutes trs DIFFERENT sounds: clean, overdrive lightweight, large rock or bluesy crunch, Round distortion for solos and rhythmic fuzz for bleeding ... prservant and the personality of the guitar, the amp and guitar!
Although it is a little sr CHRE, but it can advantageously replace several distortion by itself. And used it right away more affordable. But be careful: it is mostly a PDAL for blues, rock, jazz and punk: it will be much more difficult for the metal.
With exprience, I would do this choice!
Oh, and danmart message below: no I have not noticed any lack of mdiums, especially not lag! How could an effect analog to suffer from latency?! Tip: Rat returns your warranty.
