Analog distortion pedal.

Simple but effective.

Volume
low pass filter (or a tone inside out to keep it simple)
gain.

Alim 9volts mini jack.

UTILIZATION

Could not be more simple.

The only difference from other models is the famous knob filter that acts in the opposite direction of a tone.

It's actually a low pass that allows flitre to stifle the sound more or less. The rat origin are provided with a lot of treble and thus putting a tone would have been unnecessary.

SOUND QUALITY

The turbo delivers a rat that can be both clean and dirty, according to the settings on the first half of the gain knob. There will be a big overdrive already muscular when compared to a Rat 2.
The second half will begin to drool a little, it becomes very low in fat and playing with the filter it finds its limits in a color "fuzzy" (the sound is almost a tendency to crumble nicely).

Overall the sound is very typical, very "garage", a little dirty and rough but not too much. is a color that should be in its design and, originally, to the operational amplifier LM308. Model that sounds terribly cold and fever in any other model.

The rat models of more recent embarks lm308 but keeps the character. (Or nearly to the purists).

OVERALL OPINION

In short a good pedal type, model, now well established.

Most his character, controlled roughness, the atypical model dasn all and this, as strong as its integration with electronic design.

The -: a little less versatile than the rat 2 (but hey you do not ask him at the base), these too low making it impossible to go even more gain. The power supply mini jack is not always practical.
