I don't know who I want to hit more. You for posting that, or Ryan for making another pedal I don't need (but want to buy anyway).
alright! good news, bad news time!
good news: Rat Tail arrived safely, it looks great, it sounds great! and yes, there are a thousand and five killer sounds in there!
bad news: i dunno if it's got the sound i want for what i'm doing these days. I almost wanna go join a metal band again to justify owning this pedal! it rocks, hard, and most of my current gigs do not.
i've thrown it on the board, replacing my 1st gen. GeminiDrive (thank goodness that thing's gone! mid-hump city!)
I'll keep it on the board for a month, trying to work it into all my gigs. If it fits, i keep it. if not, it's up on the block and i start the search anew.
Ryan, no matter what, you're a beautiful man and i love your products. (and i'd be interested in the new OD if it didn't have the mid-hump (I already run hot mids. i don't need anymore, honest))
for funsies, the RT setting i'm digging most (and hoping kills in the band mix) is:
V: at unity
F: 12
D: 12
1&2 at 10 o'clock,

wait, people don't like the tail of the rat? I can't see how that is possible. Thing is waaaayy to fun and versatileYeah, some people love the RT and for others it's not their bag.
For the new od/boost, you'll have the option to have a mid hump or mid scoop tone stack, so it might be more your bag!
