Overdrive pedals,
three knobs: distortion, filter, volume.
True-bypass switch on mine (apparently the former are not equipped MODELS)
AC power supply or battery by opening the small door in the housing site.
Trs good quality manufacturing, we feel that it is built to last.
The small detail too early: the mark of the settings on the knobs is phosphorescent!

UTILIZATION

Super simple rule: we seek its level of distortion, we set the filter, adjusting the volume and balance on the sauce.
No 'plop' when you switch, perfection.
Trs quickly found her and there is no buzz even with a note nag or regulation of the power supply industry (I have a power supply even when Electro-Harmonix ...)
Trs short and easy to use roughly effective is what is asked.

SOUND QUALITY

I mainly play on a tube amp in clean / crunchy with a lp custom with humbuckers and a sg, THE FIRST thing that surprised me is the excellent dynamics of the pedal.

The sound can range from light and good bluesy overdrive to heavy overdrive full of sustain and good rock n 'roll.

The filter knob did a great job, we move easily from full harmonic sound heavier and compress.

When my amp has heated as I push in the right spot that big crunch, the rat turns virtually distortion depending on the settings. (I do, however, never put the volume of the rat more than 3 / 4 eh! APRS any Fawn for compression)

It's excellent stuff, which gives me everything he has in the belly of the viel loupiotte type vox amp, twin ect ...

OVERALL OPINION

I no longer use it for 2 or 3 months is exactly the vintage od I was looking to boost my old amp (a head Evan has 60 runs ... not the streets), j ' I tried a flopped pedals: boss sd-1, mt-2, Big Muff, MXR + ... the Rat fills me for 65 euros I ever did this new choice without hesitation.
