Rat 2 Tone

Probably, although I would upgrade to a much newer Rat made for bass. I personally love the Cat Tail and the Volt Thrower, but you will get a million other suggestions. I'd stay away from a stock Rat unless you want to obliterate your lows. The pedal shines thru in your example above because the mix is so light. Add crunchy guitars though and you will dissapear.

 

Speaking of Rat 2, I found the pedal was a little thin sounding when combined with my Berhringer BDI21 (with treble and blend cranked and drive at 3 o'clock). However putting a bass Big Muff between the two made the tone real balanced, thick yet trebly, and aggressive. Just thought you guys might want to try it out (though I haven't tried it with a metal band yet).

 

Get a Dunwich Volt Thrower - easily my favorite Rat style pedal out there

 

Yes, a RAT 2 will do that close enough, especially for soloing.

It's also easy enough to mod it if you want it to be a bit more bass friendly. Price is right used too.

 

Rat 2 will sound close enough. I'd stick with the Rat for this application, most of the boutique clones are aimed at preserving low end for more traditional bass playing.

 

Isn't that a RAT2 anyways?
Also...I have found that not all RAT2s (of the same generation) sound the same.

 

Yupp, I too found an interview that says this.
Sounds like it#s not a 2 .(which came in in '88 as far as the info I found goes.

 

Any Rat pedal will get you that tone. Model is unimportant, when it was made is unimportant.
