Thunderpaws Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Had the honour of sticking this on my board for rehearsal last night. initial impressions very positive. Always thought I wanted a bass fuzz, turns out I wanted a bass rat!! Very versatile sounds from creamy subtle gooeyness to full blown drive. Mix knob excellent and the sound blends in with the clean wonderfully. second foot switch is a boost which increases the gain to stand out a bit more when you want to punch through that hit more. Seems like a bit of volume added with a bit more bite. negatives: side mounted power socket right next to the side mounted output jack socket is a pain in the derrier. Patch cable not enjoying the bend over the power supply plug. Why Jam put it there I have no idea. looking forward to getting to know this pedal more over the coming weeks and months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 This and the LucyDreamer have been on my wanted list for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbora Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I have a Rattler and I really like it. I actually don’t like distorted bass tone but I have found having the Rattler helps cutting through in live setting. So I set it up for that for heavier songs. It is really good if you set it right. I actually have the LucyDreamer as well and I keep changing my mind which one I prefer. Both are really good. @Supernaut if you are not worried about looks I would keep checking the B stock section on the Jam Pedals website. I got mine there. Free shipping and the price was under the import tax threshold so I thought it was dirt cheap. They say it’s just external blemishes but I couldn’t find any on my Lucy but I did get a different pedal and the paint work was not right on one side but honestly you couldn’t see it and obviously doesn’t affect performance so highly recommended. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisswanbon Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Brilliant sounding pedal - I've got a couple of Jam pedals now and they're brilliant (and really well presented and packaged!) My only niggle with the rattler is the headroom, apparently mkII has more headroom but I still find myself having to crank the level with any reasonable clean blend mixed in. Never found it to be too quiet though so no biggy. I find this blends with an octaver better than any muff fuzz for a brilliant synth tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
