JAM PEDALS Rattler MK2


We have always prided ourselves on refining and delivering the iconic tones of early 80s distortion boxes with our Rattler. Now, the snake has shed its old skin to usher in a new era of decadent saturation!

Incorporating a custom-designed discrete component op-amp
that maintains all the beloved characteristics of the original, adding a custom-voiced mid boost, and introducing a second clipping option, the new Rattler is here to claim a forever spot on your board.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Custom op-amp:With the LM308 chips being long discontinued and hard to find, we developed a custom op-amp to ensurea dependable supply. Our proprietary design, featuring discrete components, preserves the open, dynamic, and tube-amp feel that made the original Rattler so revered.
  • Clipping Options:Choose between new symmetrical and original asymmetrical clipping options for distinct feel and saturation profiles.
  • Mid Boost Footswitch:Use the second footswitch to engage a mid boost before the Rattler, adding new dimensions to your tone. Don’t think of this as a volume boost but as a tone enhancer!

With the new Rattler, you can enjoy the same fat and creamy distortion as its predecessor, now with enhanced versatility and tonal options. Whether you’re rocking modern or vintage rigs, this devious snake is ready to rattle your audience off their feet!

So far so very good!

I’ve collected a few good drive pedals over the years, most of which can do a pretty distorted tone, but usually only sounding best with pretty high volume. My theory was that a pedal designed for distortion in the first place might do better without blasting my band mates too much, and on looking around I found the Rattler. It was looking good in the reviews, but I still hadn’t taken the plunge when the new model came out - and it seemed to offer a little more tweakability, so I went for it. Well, two rehearsals in and I’m very happy with it! We play covers, and Its easy to get a great sound to suit the song when it needs it. It’s a different texture to winding up a drive pedal - especially in the asymmetric mode - and can certainly put a smile on your face :) ! So far I haven’t found the need to play around with the two internal switches - just enjoying the factory settings. I know I’m only two weeks in, but I really think this is a great addition to my pedal board.

As for Deluxe Guitars, the buying experience was great - the price was competitive (I got a $15 off voucher), the delivery was free and it arrived just 2 days after I ordered it - just in time to add it to my board and go to rehearsal! Couldn’t ask for much more than that.

Very happy with Deluxe Guitars, and of course with the pedal itself!

Mark.
