This pedal is about 6 months old. I bought it brand new. Definitely one of the best RAT'S i ever played. I ordered this one with the original LM-308 OP AMP chip like the real old school RAT'S. This also has the three different RAT models built in on a toggle/ three clipping modes. Built like a tank. Never gigged. Mint condition. No velcro All original (cool) packaging included. For those of you familiar with True-Fi pedals, he made the enclosures smaller than he hes to so they can be pedalboard friendly. Its a little bigger all around than a standard BOSS pedal.
Here's the description from True-Fi:
"This is my tribute to the R*t Big Box classic pedal Grandma paid for it and it started this whole journey!
The original was made in 1979, the first 100 where hand painted, I actually worked in a studio in the late 90s that had not one but two of them. A world guitar collectors owned the studio, and he had these incredible R*t handpainted big boxs.
I even put the Tone knob not Filter - TONE like the early one's is wired backwards. Odd yes, but it is my homage to history like the original. You will see a diode toggle, that I names the presets FRANK - DINO - SAMMY. Frank is LED diodes that was used in the Turbo version of the R*t that appeared in the late 80s, more aggressive and with some more grit and bite. The Dino is germanium diodes which I must say no R*t ever had but they should have, OMG SWEET !! Really musical and harmonic just a pleasure to play. The Sammy is silicon diodes which is what the original had, and the rest of the components are set JUST LIKE A EARLY BIG BOX !!!
I still have my original - ABed them for 3 hours - EXACT ! There are a few MODERN upgrades, Tru-Bypass, and it also has a Gain mod so when you turn the gain all the way down the pedal does not turn off like the old one's.
I love this pedal, it is aggressive, it is 70s hard rock and balls out rock n roll. You can get it built in a host of colors, and even hit the option for the LM308 Op-Amp like the original for a few bucks. They are no longer made and are not cheap IF REAL! I actually love the stock op-amp it is cleaner than the 308 but some people swear it sounds better."
Feel free to ask any questions. Price is set, so the offer option is off. Thanks.
