Dumb experiment time! Rat as a preamp

[@PlayingWithMyselfGuitar]

Certainly not a dumb idea, sounds badass

[@googaboogaloo]

Thank you!

I've got a Ramones parody to record and that first tone is going to be an excellent starting point.

[@googaboogaloo]

Awesome! What song are you parodying?

I couldn’t believe how thick it sounded. This is through a 10” speaker and I used my Strat.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@googaboogaloo would love to hear it mic’d up with two sm57 and one at a 45* angle

[@googaboogaloo]

@@Ian-Threaded if I had the gear and know how my videos would have a much higher production value. I would LOVE to that

[@kantina4765]

how does it sound compared to just running the pedal normally?

[@googaboogaloo]

@@kantina4765 that is a good question. Normally in the front of the amp the preamp of the amp does some distortion and is brighter. It has more gain in front and you need less filter but maybe I’ll make a video comparing the two.

[@jacobwalker8565]

So is the rat in the effects loop as opposed to being plugged into the front end? Sounds great man

[@googaboogaloo]

Thank you! Yes it’s just plugged straight in.
