For any of you unfamiliar with what Blaze is referring to by "Ruetz mode of the Rabid rodent", a brief word of explanation:
The Rabid Rodent is my modified build of the BYOC Mouse kit, which is a souped up clone of the venerable ProCo Rat. But with 6 separate clipping choices, it's got tons more tonal flexibility than any Rat ever had. Additionally, I also install an optional toggle switch (circled in red in the photo below) that engages a modification known as the "Ruetz mod" (named after its inventor) which reduces the Rat's prodigious gain, softens its distortion and flattens out the EQ profile considerably. Obviously used to good effect here by the illustrious Mr. Blaze! Great tone, my friend!
