AinsleyWalker Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi there, First post, so apologies if this is in the wrong section or anything. I'm looking to buy my friend's Pro Co Rat (it's a II i believe), a lot of demos I've heard suggest it'll produce the tone I'm looking for, as a dirtier alternative to my Way Huge Pork Loin which I have as a gentler drive. However I hear Rats can suck a lot of low end from your tone.. I've read a few people on old forums say they've gotten theirs modded to keep more low end. Was wondering if anyone knew anyone/a place that can perhaps do a mod like this for me? How much would it cost etc.? I'm based in Luton (30miles from London) Cheers!

paul_5 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The simplest bass mod for increased low end response on a RAT just needs a pair of wire cutters. Give this a go: http://www.diyguitaramp.com/rat.html You can cut either end of the resistor indicated by the photos in this article; the outcome is the same.
