DVM's Rabid Rodent BYOC Mouse v.2 Proco Rat Clone review

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah it might be. I am not going to get rid of it. It still gives me some grungey sounds I like in combination with my chorus pedal. But the rodent does a lot more. BTW, I had it wrong how the Ruetz mod works. Really, it actually flattens out the hump in the high-mids that the Rat circuit has and makes the bass and lower mids come forward, giving that warmer, fuller tone. I had said before that it gave bumped up the midrange, which is not quite accurate.

Glad to see/hear that you're continuing to "farm" new tones out of the Rodent. It's a very flexible pedal, as you're finding out. I'd like to think my "optimizing" a couple of the clipping options contributes to that flexibility, but the main credit has to go to Keith Vonderhulls at BYOC for a very clever design on this kit. It is just S-O-O-O much more versatile than the original ProCo Rat circuit upon which it's based.

I sold my original v.1.0 Rodent a few days ago (thanks, Peachhead!) and I missed it this weekend! But the v.2.0 kit (along with CB's) is sitting on my work bench and the soldering will start in the next couple of days. You've got me psyched up to get it built & into my pedal chain!

Not meaning to thread hijack, but the v.1 came today- looking forward to firing it up! Thanks DVM!
