No reason why it shouldn't sound as good.

Bring Rat to ILFEU and we'll find out!

I run a split rig. The top row goes to a bass rig and the bottom row goes to a guitar rig. The black box lets me route my cables and mute either channel. In my bands Im covering bass and guitar at the same time.

v cool

As promised, excessive double board action:

Signal chain: Valeton OC-10 (in a mini TB loop)>Subdecay Vocawah>Moog Minifooger Boost>Way Huge 25th Anniversary Red Llama>Catalinbread Karma Suture>Mosky Golden Horse>Mantic Flex XS>Mooer e-lady>Foxrox Zim (Red Octave and Brown Muff cards)>Peavey Classic 20MH (Mooer Trelicopter>Moog Minifooger Ring Modulator>Malekko Scrutator>Earthquaker Devices Grand Orbiter V3>Valeton CH-10>TC Electronic Nova Delay>Boss RV-500>Mr. Power looper in the FX loop)

How do you like those 2 Valeton pedals? Both of them have me curious.
Cool board(s) too!

Thanks. The Valeton Loft series has proven to be decent for the most part. I also own their Boss HF-2, OD-1, FA-1, and PH-1 clones, as well as the Rat, Fuzz Face, and envelope filter from the Coral series.

The OC-10 is a dead-on Boss OC-2 copy in a minuscule enclosure, and the CH-10 seems to be in the same ballpark as a CE-2. Both have Boss-style buffered bypass and auto engage when they first receive power. The OC-10 tends to see more action than the CH-10.

Hot.

Why do you have the OC in the TB loop? Buffer not an issue with the other board with the CH? Having a cheaper oc-2 option is very intriguing, where as the chorus, there are options within that range. I'll have a look at the other ones you mentioned I assume your assessment with those is similar to the previous two?

I prefer to run the OC-10 before all dirt and sometimes rotate in sensitive germanium options like Buzzarounds and Ge Fuzz Faces. The CH-10 is in a more neutral position, so the buffer is not an issue.

The OC-10 is my favorite Loft series pedal followed closely by the FL-10 and CH-10. The OD-1, FA-1, and PH-1 clones are also worth trying, though have quirks. The FP-10's controls interact in an odd manner, i.e., certain frequencies can be affected that create gain loss with bassier gain options like Muffs. The PH-10 nails late 70's phasing textures, but audibly clips with humbuckers. Lastly, the OD-10 provides perfect 80's metal mids with what is probably a bit too much bass cut for most.

I don't have as much direct experience with Valeton's Coral series. The Darktale (true bypass LM308 Rat with a 2 band EQ and more gain than the original circuit) is legit if you're looking for a basic Rat fuzzdrivestortion with a bit more to offer. The Red Faze is based on the Fulltone 69 and offers a bevy of standard and broken Ge Fuzz Face textures. I found the Katfish envelope filter a tad underwhelming, though it operates quietly and covers a decent area of the bandpass to lower highpass range with some tweaking.

Oh duh, I didn't even think about that. Makes total sense! I run my oc-2 right up front too (well, second position after oscillating fuzz), but no germanium fuzzers.

Too bad about the FP-10. I'll prob just build one of those, though maybe they all have that type of issue? That Darktale and Red Faze are interesting for sure...Lazaro too. I just love the look of those Loft series ones. If they made a HM-2 in that line they'd sell no doubt. Gonna look into that AD-10 more too (that and the OC-10 were the first I saw and got somewhat excited about). Thanks for the input!

Nothing beats the broadcast for giving cooking valve sounds at polite nighttime volumes. just makes everything sound better - fuzz, wah, vibe

That's a rad board.

Thanks so much. Just had a bit of a nightmare evening so the validation is greatly appreciated, mate!
