Brand Loyalty and RAT question...

Post by gemarchergear »

I am new to EQD, and I could not be happier. When I get into a pedal company, I try to get every pedal on the market. I look forward to the EQD challenge! 4 EQD pedals in the last week is a good start!

My ultimate tone is that of a British band from the 90s called Heavy Stereo. Their singer/guitarist used an 80s RAT through a Marshall Plexi. I was wondering if EQD made a fuzz/distortion/overdrive somewhere in the realm of the RAT. If not, has anyone found a setting on en EQD pedal that does give a RAT-like tone? I have owned many RATS (new and old), and always get close to happiness but never quite there. I would love any help. Thanks!

They used to, I'm pretty sure it was called the Tusk? I could be wrong but I know it's not made anymore

Tusk is a very cool 308-based dirt box.
There are definitely some similarities, but I've never actually AB'd it w/my Rat...sounds like something I might do today!
Special low-frequency version.

Tusk actually has nothing to do with the rat circuit-wise. It wasn't my intention to create a rat style pedal but I think it falls in the same category by accident. Sounds great on bass though!
