The Wampler Ratsbane Distortion is a full-range distortion pedal that can go from creamy, smooth drive to full-blown fuzzy dirt. This versatile little gain machine features an improved filter control, the further you crank it, the more cutting your tone becomes- from a warm, creamy response to a more piercing, high-frequency attack. As the name suggests, this was designed to become your main distortion pedal; sheer versatility and its rich, rounded tone guarantees this will be the case.
It wouldn't be a Wampler pedal without a few intuitive additions to the circuitry though: in this case, two new toggle switches help bring the thunder. On the left is 'Gain' which alters your gain stages: flick left for a firmer, tighter response, flick right for a creamier, smoother response. On the right is 'Voice' which subtly alters the clipping and compression to deliver more modern high-gain tones. Get experimenting to find your ideal combination.
