I haven't heard much about this pedal and can't find much in search so I'd figure I'd make a new topic.

Does anyone have on of these? Are they any better than the regular Rat?

I can pick up a regular rat for $50 and get it modded but I'd like to know what this is like first.

[edit]
Seems like I can't spell the word right, after I did I got 3 pages. Ah well...

I've heard of these having the input and output jacks mislabled. Other than that, I don't know... might be a good pedal, but OTO....

Peace of ****e. I tested it on friday. Couldn't dial anything usefull out of that thing. In addition, the batteryhousing has a major designfailure. You can't fit the 9V into it's slot because the lid wont close then. You have to chuck the battery inside the box, where it'll bounce around like Oprah inside a cementmill.

I have not heard anything possitive about it. Probobly better off getting a Rat.

I actually bought one when they first came out. The first one I had was awful. The second one I received was reasonable, but still not able to get that awesome RAT sound we're all familiar with.

hmm, ok, tried to find a post that wasn't too old. lol. before i get the zombie hunters out for me!

tried the juggernaut today. what do you guys think bout it? and is the Rat more versatile than it? felt the juggernaut was pretty one dimensional

Theres also the Keeley modified Rat

My experience with the Keeley-modded Rat was not satisfying. Even though it is supposedly modded for more low end, the low end suckage was still so much that it was unusable for me.

Among Larry Grahams many other talents, he seems to be the only person capable of getting a good sound out of the Juggernaut. Like I'm sure many before me, I saw this video and went out and tried one, hoping for a great tone.

The urban legend is that Larry went through a stack of Juggernauts before finally finding one that sounded good.

ok, i should be turned off by it by now =p

 

[irvinz]

This has probably been posted before. One handed bass player Bill Clements and the juggernaut.

I recommend the Proco Turbo Rat. Much better suited for bass than the other current Rat 2.

 

[ishouldbeking]

turbo rat is pretty decent but i'd still try before you buy. I bought it for bass and wound up keeping it to use on guitar. I just wasn't able to get a great sound out of it in a live setting... and then one day i was tracking some bass parts and none of my (at-that-time) go to effects (dod 250, boss super overdrive, tubescreamer) were working to get the distortion tone I wanted... just happened to have the turbo rat in my bag, plugged her in and it was bliss, if only for that recording. That one day of recording ensured that I'll never sell the pedal though.
