Rat (Slow Loris)

[billstein]

Hi all. Here's my latest build. Hope you like it.

Stock Rat (Slow Loris). Etched faceplate.

I'll get some sound files up soon.









And of course the obligatory LED being the rat's eye.



Would love to hear your opinions.

Looks awesome and I bet it sounds great too! Nice etch and great graphics, rat's eye needs to glow of course...

[slimtriggers]

Badass!  Great etch and super clean wiring

[croquet hoop]

Awesome work on the etch and the eye. Love the clean guts too.

Thanks guys for your kind words. I've never liked Rats that much but of course we build them because they are there. But this morning I was playing around with this and combining other pedals. I think I'm starting to see why people like these so much.

I hope to have some sound files up by tomorrow.

I really like this. It's extra badass. I'd never played through a rat until a couple weeks ago, and now I really get it.

That is beautiful, Bill. 

You went all out with the pricey knobs, too.

You went all out with the pricey knobs, too.

Yeah. Hopefully I don't get addicted to the good stuff!

if you can record a little sound sample, you should enter this into this month's contest.

[DutchMF]

Mega build.

Love it!

Loving this, inside and out, just a classy build built with care.
As to Rats go I really hate them. BUT - it's different when you play alone in the bedroom and with a band. I guarantee you, while the Rat will sound boring and not so impressive at home, with the band, somehow, it will sound glorious, and will give you just the right span of frequencies that you need for your guitar to sit perfectly well in a mix.
