Great demo, great riffs Great pedal

[@TheToneLounge]

Thanks! I think I may have found the one Rat pedal that I'll keep, and sell the others.

[@ikigai47]

holy crap another great demo. But I gotta cool it. Allllmost bought it but realized I already bought a few Joyo pedals because of your videos and now I never use em haha. I guess you know how to get optimal sounds from your gear much more than I do

[@TheToneLounge]

That experience comes with time, and many errors along the way. Sometimes I sound like total garbage, but sometimes I nail a tone that I like. This one is easy to dial in. :)

[@nikman5300]

Cool. I noticed the distortion pedal was mostly around noon. I guess the amp was on a clean-ish dial. The OG was superb.

[@TheToneLounge]

I could have cranked the gain, but was getting some killer tones at lower settings, so I ran with it.

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

thanks for the video was never a fan of the rat but now i see where it should be used

[@TheToneLounge]

I'm glad that the video was helpful. Give a Rat another try, you may be surprised.

[@thewetterbass]

Nice playing!

[@TheToneLounge]

Thanks a lot!

[@BuffaloTrace602]

Love the Jimmy Eat World riffs!

[@TheToneLounge]

They have very cool guitar riffs. I love that band.

[@glendoggett9670]

I always enjoy hearing you play that Gretsch! Does this pedal do the Triangle RAT and the Rams Head RAT? ;-)

[@TheToneLounge]

I did not know those existed. To your question, it does not.

[@glendoggett9670]

@@TheToneLounge just a joke/reference to the JHS Muff-aletta which has ALL the MUFFS!

[@TheToneLounge]

@@glendoggett9670 oh I know lol Just thought I would keep the joke going ;)

[@albertomunoz4867]

Question. I find these types of JHS pedal to be plagued with a lot of background noise/buzz issues. I haven't tried the RAT but did have both the Muff and TS models. Sold them both because of that very same issue. Did you experience this with this version?

[@TheToneLounge]

I don't find this one any noisier than the original pedal. As for the Muff, they are noisy to begin with.

[@albertomunoz4867]

@@TheToneLounge Yeah. It's really hard to put my finger on it. Having had single mode Muff or TS pedals. The background noise in the JHS's didn't feel normal in comparison. I appreciate the response! Great Video!

[@lancenunez8252]

Close enough for rock and roll!

[@TheToneLounge]

100% agreed

[@ntomatas1]

what's the riff at 0:55 ? I know it's a classic

[@TheToneLounge]

Funk 49

[@gamekyuubi42069]

@@TheToneLounge Honestly I prefer your take on the riff

[@ogrish76]

Guitar center has been pushing this goofy pedal here.

[@TheToneLounge]

What is goofy about it?

[@joseanything]

Does this pedal 'Work'? Yes, it does.

[@Damdochax]

Great playing but the pedal sounds so brittle, terrible!

[@TheToneLounge]

Rat style pedals have that sonic print to them. I actually found this pedals to be the smoothest example of a Rat that I've tried so far.

[@Damdochax]

I guess I’m measuring it to my old rat pedal which has a creamy smooth tone. Anyway, great video. Cheers..

[@chrisstevens4680]

I’m trying not to make negative posts……. so no comment (….except for: get a decent Plexi Marshall and forget pedals.) Ps the playing was good!

[@arrighioce]

Lol and yet

[@TheToneLounge]

There is always a compromise. Some amos do clean well, others do gain well. Having an amp that does both very well is rare. Some choose clean amps and select choice pedals for gain.

[@theyreMineralsMarie]

Yeah and lose your hearing in the process.

[@chrisstevens4680]
