Value For Money :
Correct
PDAL any analog supplies 9V continuous.
An input jack and output jack. 3 of rglages knobs (gain, filter, volume).
Box in mtal, super strong.
Simple and well built pedals.
UTILIZATION
Well, it's one of distortion pedals ... The manual is not really indisensable.
For whom this kind of manipulated adj pedals, there's nothing so I will xotique m'taler on this point.
SOUND QUALITY
Ironically LORD in the battle between digital and analog technologies, I sound RAT Discoveries by intermdiaire my bass POD Pro. Yes! A distortion of modlisations proposed by the POD is based on a RAT distortion (yeah I know, not a Turbo RAT ...). And as I liked that sound really good on the POD, I DCID to pay me the real pedals. In the era, the RAT simple n'tait not available then, impatient as I am, I bought the Turbo RAT.
Like what, POD, even if it is sluggish and live recording trs not always convincing, at least has the ca MRIT initiate the ear of the nophyte DIFFERENT mat riel "cults" and their own sound CHARACTERISTICS.
I am a bass player and I use the Turbo RAT with my passive basses Warmoth (rpliques Fender Jazz Bass and Precision of good quality trs. Prampli The Aguilar Tone Hammer is a compressor and a BBE Opto Stomp. The whole is a powerful amplifier QSC RMX 1450 amp sound that stirs a baffle TecAmp L410.
I will not beat around the bush: I love the pedals!
The three are formidable potentiomtres of efficiency. The range of available gain is really standard. It's going small vritables crunch of "layers" of fuzz endless sustain. In between, there are various saturations and distortions. The knob "filter" is, as its name implies, a filter. A low pass in order to be more prcis. That - that it only allows to cut the treble from a non-adjustable frquence prdfinie. And this filter is useful since trs rvle the sound of the Turbo RAT can be really aggressive trs top of the sound spectrum. I use the volume knob just to adjust the output level to prampli but for those lamps Tage power, the Turbo RAT is sufficient to saturate Reserved for red ...
It is true that the distortion is plutt dirty and that's why we love it! Personally, I do not think the characters have a Turbo RAT "lamp". Rather, it is a good disto trs based amp oprationnel just in the kind of saturation Aguilar (see prampli Agro or Tone Hammer). In comparison, I also possde EBS Valvèdre that she's really a typical lamp: warm, soft, compress. The Turbo RAT is much more "direct" and less "soft", more "dynamic" and highlights trs mdiums clearly (at least on a passive bass) and more aggressive gnre harmonics ( odd?). That's my prfre CHARACTERISTICS: Jazz Bass crunchy sound with a good dose of mdiums, it passes through any wall of Marshall ... (Very close to the bass sound of the group sudois "Lack", for those who know ...)
Obviously, depending on the rate of gain, there will be more or less loss of momentum. Knowing that with the gain and treble back almost compltement shots, you end up with almost a synth-sound distortion that rvle handy to ... of Pop! Dplaise do people who see the pedals use a "garage".
It does not seem that the Turbo RAT is designed for bass players t which explains the weakness of extreme severe (below 100Hz) and therefore ct "mdium" sound obtained. Great for punk, hardcore, pop (yes, yes ..) and unsuitable for heavy mtal trs. Compared to scratch, it will almost act like a guitar that adds troisime mdiums of serious well-snarling guitars and sharp those highest perch. Gnial for unison riffs with the guitars. Do not make big sound esprer new mtal playing on the rhythmic bass / bass drum. The RAT is not made for that.
The Turbo RAT gives a sharp low saturation mdiator game with nice tablecloths and fuzz with severe acute strokes. The pedals breath a little bit but since the gain levels that can be obtained, it is normal. Even with a low, there's way to toy with the Feedback ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use the Turbo RAT for three years, on occasion, and I always find new applications. I plan to install it on my DEFINITIONS Effectboard ct of BSE Valvèdre, the two types of sound n'tant not compete.
To get an ide, here are the pedals for distortion with which I dj jou:
- EBS Valvèdre: its warm light and soft, sometimes sluggish, passive equalizer.
- BOSS ODB-3: trs grain synthetic but I got good bass response and plenty of opportunity to rglage.
- Aguilar Agro: trs good but too expensive for what it is. Not bought.
- Various small pedals like Danelectro, Rocktron, etc. ... Personal and without much always a big default (too many blows, crappy grain, distortion slobbering, no dynamics ...)
With exprience, I would do without this choice hsiter!
Most of the Turbo RAT:
- Rglages effective, versatile trs
- Trs wide gain range and volume
- Its CHARACTERISTICS
- Simple, true analog bypass
- Indestructible
Cons:
- Eats a lot of extreme severe
- Power jack mini-jack (compltement dbile ...)
Report qualitprix honnte. This is the kind of device that achte worship once in his life and we care because we know how it feels and how it RULES. The advantage of simple analog widgets!
