tonepad La Rata

The Rata is intended as a clone of Proco Vintage Rat,
tonepad.com site offers a very low cost (about 15 euros)
the circuit board.

To meet the quality I buy components in smallbearelec.com



Controls: Distortion, Filter, Volume

UTILIZATION

Warning live or group: the home setting is not the same!

an ideal of settings: Volume 14h, 14h Filter, Disto at 11

As soon as you push the knob Disto afternoon the sound is too compressed and inaudible rhythm. Filter the same fully disappear from the acute stroke will be agreed no.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is very similar to a normal distortion of a tube amp,
with at least the rhythmic momentum. Nevertheless solo sensations are unique and well above the pure feeling-amp distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal I built 3-4 times,
and also I have owned almost every model of the RAT PROCO (white face, vintage, 1986 etc.).. To say, but this one with the changes I made to give the original class.

Coupled with Gibson + Mesa grain is enormous. In short, a must for all fans Nirvana, Hendrix, post-punk genre Blur etc etc.

PCB plate is fragile so it will be welded to know.
These are my mods: op amp LM 308N, 47-ohm resistance Ruetz replaced with 100 Ohm.
Ruetz plans to remove it, I say it's better to increase it!
