There are plenty of fuzzboxes out there these days(and JAM has some good ones, too) but few distortion boxes. JAM pedals' work stands out! I am particularly fond of The Rattler, as I have been on the prowl for toneful yet high-gain distortion. Though still just bubbling under the large wave of boutique effects pedals. With the extra switch you have the choice for extra gain, which brings you closer to the Rattler classic.

Rattler+ offers a unique tone, transparent'Ratty' overdrive and less gain than the classic. Made for those who seek an original vintage distortion sound!

It was, after all, born underground in the cavernous basement of the Pro Co Sound factory in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. The RAT was destined to define“The Sound of the Underground. more 80's distortion? Do you want that 80's sound? Then look no further than this pedal! From the very beginning.
